[rosskerr]

thats what i was thinking lol.. was going to do it as a bit of a distance then super resin it..

 

[Android]

well ive never had a problem with it. just watch for stone chips.

id usually jet wash. then hand wash.

If you snow foam first then jetwash, Its not that bad because your not dragging grit around the car with a mit. (i think)

I would clay bar first, then wash the residue off and then super resin polish last as clay bar takes off basicly everything so would take off the fresh wax!

As said . Clay bar before AG Super resin polish .

As for the pressure washer . If you already have one or your thinking about buying one have a read of this , 11th post down

Dont just jet was then polish, Most of the dirt will still be on the car.

Make sure to hand wash after, using a wash mitt and some good drying towels

Apparently its bad for your tyres if you get too close, so Autocar say. Damages the sidewalls and makes em' seep air.

^ I think thats just the valves that dont like excessive pressure

I wouldn't use a pressure washer any more powerful than 100PSI on my own car

Dont go to the one's at petrol stations if thats what you mean

^ yeah pikeys clean the scrap metal residue off back of their cabstars etc with them

My pressure washer's 130psi , safe as houses if you use your head . They can strip paint and they can damage tyres . It'll all depend on what kind of lance your using as well .

The karcher vario lances are pretty much the best and safest , good power power and risning rather the ones that you can get a fine pencil jet . The pencil jet lances will damage your car if your not careful .

I always jet wash/snow foam mine, before the two bucket method.

Perhaps I worded what I meant incorrectly, my bad

Guessing you mean Bar!

Mines running at 1820 psi, 130 bar and has a flow rate of 500ltph strips paint from metal no probs. on a fan about 2-3foot away it hasnt touched the bit of Laquer peel i have so i'd say your safe with a Joe public one
