CG's Maxi Suds II

[JR]

Just wondering who is the best people to buy this from ? cost wise ? and postage wise ?

any one doing free postage on this ? i was going to get some to go with my super suds gun that i have just bought ? best product to get ?

Im tempted by this , is it like the foam spray stuff Can you get an attachment to use with a karcher pressure washer ?

www.carwashnwax.com for the maxi suds.

Shaun i've had a gilmour foam gun for a few months now...far better than the karcher one i've got!!

I have been mixing the Maxi suds with Meguiars Shampoo Plus in the Gilmour here, works ok but nothing really foamy, if you want lots of foam you will be better getting some Autobrite Super Snow Foam. Any others foam up much the same. Maxi Suds did not work to well here suds wise in buckets for me.

Tim at Cleanyourcar also sells the Maxi Suds.

Rich where do you get the autobrite stuff from??

If you run a small length of hosepipe from your Karcher into a bucket with shampoo instead of up to the mains water then you can cover the car with foam . Thats what i do .Also depends what lance you have , the vario lance is good for foaming at low and high pressure .

I like that idea , also much cheaper than one of those lances Its just got the standard one attched , might as well give it a go. Do you dilute the shampoo first , if so what ratio ??

Cheers

Just 1 or 2 capfuls in a bucket , the same ratio as you would normally use to hand wash the car . Just a word of warning , it sucks up water like you wouldn't believe , lol . You'll probably need 2 buckets or a large fermenting bin size container .

 

[JR]

got the maxi suds from tim. going to give it a go in my super spray on the weekend.

 

[The Big Yin]

Mr Billy it works a treat nice one

Justin Whats a superspray ??

 

[MRBILLYUK]

^^^ Cheaper than a Gilmour eh

 

[The Big Yin]

i dunno if its just my imagination but the car certainly looks shinier

 

[JR]

visit www.superspray.co.uk and have a look, used it tonite and i have to say as a cheap glimor its fantastic.

 

[The Big Yin]

Is this the thing from DW ? Lambo pics doesnt look too impressive , might be worth a punt at that price tho , as i need something for the hose dont want tog et the Karcher out every time

 

[riz]

[MRBILLYUK]

^^^ Try the hosepipe into a bucket method first , see what ya think mate .

Didn't think much to the MaxiSuds II when I used it, the SSF is much better at covering the car when used with a Gilmour.

I am told it should not strip anythingby those who use it - but am a little dubious myself so will be sticking to the Meguiars Hyper Wash and Maxi Suds mix on the Clio. Will test the SSF on the daily driver here first.

The results for MrB's method look much better than the lambo pic for the superspray

 

[MRBILLYUK]

I'll get some pics up next time i wash the car , hopefully tomorrow . You can pick the karcher vario lances up on ebay for about half price as in the shops .

Washed the car today , used the method i said about further back in the thread . A short hose from the Karcher into a bucket of water and shampoo = lots of foam

Then super resin polished using some new applicators , Jeff's werkstatt trigger sealant X 2( thanks Rich ) then the 50/50 wax from carwashnwax .

Very impressed with the applicators , both as good as each other , applied the SRP nice n thin .

[Brand86]

That is a mad amount of suds!!!

 

[JR]

[FiDoDiDo]

What shampoo did you use?

 

[MRBILLYUK]

1 capful of gold class and 1 capful of extreme body wash n wax from carwashnwax . Tbh though any shampoo foams up well using the pressure washer .

 

[Rich]

For a capfull of each damn that is effective.
