Blimey, looks most intriguing!! They don't use that at my local Polish polish!!! I shall instruct them accordingly.

Do you still have to make any effort or is it just spray on, cover your car in meringue, and then spray off to reveal a sparkly clean vehicle underneath!

Basically it removes the harmful particles of dirt from the paintwork so that after you rinse the snow foam off it leaves a more or less cleanish bodywork that you can then wash with car shampoo using a lamb's wool mit so you prevent swirls or scratches in your paint.
You let the snow foam dwell on it for 10 to 20 minutes.

Good Lord, so that is only the first part of the process!

Lambswool mitt!!!!! My dear boy, that sounds like a lot of work.

Bring it over when you come for the mini tour and I will give you a tenner to do my car!!!

Haha yeah only the first step ! :D
People can go totally over board on this but I try to do it fairly well if I can.
Probably not best to tell you that I'll be handing my car over to my detailer before the June trip to get it Cquartz ceramic coated......lasts two years, serious paintwork protection.
Also costs about €399 Euro !

Well I have my new MINI a month yesterday and I have to say I LOVE IT :)
Huge jump up in quality over the previous model.
I have 2,900 km's on it now, that's 1,812.5 miles in the Queen's English ;)
I had a wonderful road trip in it the other day and really enjoyed the car.
I am heading on my first Mini Club event on Sunday in it so that will be fun.
