That silver mini looks well clean, that bodywork sure does pop, good work
Popped into Halfords as forgot to order some more Rapid Detailer - saw they also had Bumper and Trim Gel, so picked up one of those (was planning on getting the GTechniq but hadn't got round to ordering it)
Think I need to start going to AA meetings (AutoGlym Anonymous)
Closest I'll get to a foam party with 2 dirty ladies
Foamed, Washed, Dried and then Plastics done with the Bumper and Trim Gel - which has done a great job (and smells Great!)

Trim looks loads better with AG. Let us know how it fares after say driving through a rain shower etc. If its not streaky after rain then it's a winner.
What drying aids are people using?
Optimum No Rinse Dilution Ratios (water: product)
- Rinseless washing- 256:1
- Water softener – 256:1
- Glass cleaner – 256:1
- Clay bar lubricant – 64:1
- Quick detailer – 16:1
- Drying aid – 16:1
- Interior cleaner – 256:1
- Before pre-rinsing – 256:1
- Engine bay cleaning – 16:1
I have a Race Glaze water filter. Leaves zero water marks. No need to hand dry.
DIY detail rinseless is
All the above 256:1
Also wheel and tyre cleaner , and soft tops, and leather etc
That's interesting, never heard of that and I'm in a very hard water area. Does it affect the pressure at all? I will do some more reading on that.
Is that the same mixture if you buy the small or large bottle? I know sometimes these change and the small bottles are ready mixed and the bulk buy can be diluted. I might give a small bottle a try.

Which Ryobi model is it?People with Ryobi / Karcher / whatever pressure washers. Have you managed to find a snow foam attachment that goes into the existing lance? Or have you just bought a new lance? I'm having trouble finding one that goes into the Ryobi that I can just swap out when not using the foam.
convert it to quick connect
Which Ryobi model is it?
I know there are Ryobi machines that use a similar attachment system to Greenworks, which use the Nilfisk/Kew/alto adapters.
There's a good image (last image of the options) on the listing here that gives sizes. If you have a ruler/calipers, perhaps you can measure up?

That's for the cannon with the adapter included, I'm sure you'll be able to find the adapter on its own on Amazon.
Amazon has lots with Ryobi fittings, searching for 'snow foam gun ryobi' brings up at least 20.
