I got round to using the Clay mitt today . What a brilliant and easy thing to use . I washed the car first with my trusty 17 year old Karcher pressure washer , water only . Then connected a 25 litre fermenting bin with approximately 2 capfulls of shampoo and 2 capfulls of snow foam then gave it a really good high power wash down before proceeding with the 2 bucket method and lambswool wash mitt . Then I used a strong mix of shampoo in a bucket as lubricant for the clay mitt , with a clean bucket of water to rinse . I've got to say , the paintwork has never felt so smooth . It feels like glass . I basically used just the weight of my hand and clay mitt to do all the work , just gliding it over the paintwork, no hard rubbing. You could feel it and hear it picking up any contaminants , then you could feel and hear as the paintwork became smooth . Then it was rinsed off with clean water , and topped off with Hydro2 lite , another new product for me .
@gally , thanks for recommending that the other day in one of your posts . Its probably one of the easiest products you'll ever use .
So thats 2 new things used today and I give them both 10/10 :smile:
Just a couple of short videos of how I use my 25 litre fermenting bin go give lots of high pressure foam . No need for any fancy snow foam lances . And yes , for the eagled eyes of you out there . There isn't 3 inches of foam coating the car . Its a bit pointless having such thick foam imo , as it's only the foam thats on the paintwork thats doing any of the work .
