It's not perfect as I have only given it a single stage at the moment, but it's a large improvement :)

It's right outside my house, yeah I use an Ava Go from when I used to live in a flat :)

I've a 30M hose pipe which comes down from the back of my house near the kitchen out to the front of the house and then use power out of my garage for the pressure washer :)

How're you getting on with it? What have you used in the past?

It’s early days having only used it briefly on one occasion but I say it was lovely to use, extremely lightweight after being dunked into a bucket of suds and after use only a quick rinse required and was soon dry ready to be stored away.

I’ll hopefully give the car another wash this Sunday to properly put it through its paces.

I previously used Meguires Supreme Microfibre Wheel Brush - I had the Medium but could have done with the Larger version. Excellent brush but mine had become worse for wear so I thought why not try something different but it did have some characteristics which overtime became a con for me.

-Heavy When Loaded Up
-Took an age to rinse properly/dry
-Could not fit between the brake calliper
-Fibres and threads shedded occasionally
 
Plenty of California Scents - Hanging Air Fresheners to keep me going for quite a while! :eek:

99P for 4… Will save me some money in the long run rather than buying the occasional Little Tree which are more than a £1 these days.

didn't one of the manufactures have an inbuilt incense/smell thing - but it's just mood lighting/disco now.

lightweight pressure washers a good idea , 20kg Karchers a right pain to move from garage, also dead-lift into car back-well to lend to relatives
 
My biggest tip at the moment for anyone with a soft top, don’t bother with car focussed products to protect the top (that have become increasingly expensive), just buy Fabsil with UV protection. Works out cheaper than a lot of the car products and is far far better.

The only thing I would add is make sure you clean it really well before applying. At the end of the day you want to be applying it to the fabric and not the dirt on the fabric.
 
Any suggestion for general interior cleaning product? APC? I find Autoglym interior shampoo very good, fairly expensive though, would prefer to bulk buy and dilute as necessary.
