Me too! I would love to see one of these threads on a silver car like TiAg since that is what I own but I understand that the effects of your hard work are much more prominent on the dark cars.
Can you reccomend a good polish and wax for metallic silvers that will help them pop? Great job on the M3.

Phil, please give us an idea of what a nice treatment like you provided to the M3 owner costs. Certainly, cars in rougher shape would likely cost more...

Quick question...what type of foam sprayer are you using? That looks like it uses pressure to force out the soap instead of water from a hose. I have been looking at a foamaster...what do you recommend? Also...nice work on the M3. That customer has nice taste in cars...M3 and a 996TT...sweet!

the foam gun that attaches to the hose works great.
as for the one that hooks up to the pressure washer its a whole different animal. The cam spray foam canon is great but you would have to figure out which adapters you would need to get it to work with your pressure washer. |
