I've heard they use quite a bit of shampoo too?

May have to invest in one for over winter, should help a bit more for minimising swirls.

I'll give her a week!! :rasp:

Well u are away for a week so I wont be going anywhere to dirty him :(
You will ;)

Yeah they can use a fair bit mate....tho the idea is to cover the car in foam once maybe twice if needed then wash as normal with wash mitt etc. It'll only use as much foam as you want to use really...

It loosens the baked on dirt a bit more than just a normal rinse with a hose and it cuts down on swirls and scratches as you said mate.
