Not bad, wouldn't mind some dry pictures though, some bits don't look that clean, just wet. How long was spent on the engine bay itself?
As a comparison, CD2, about £8 from halfords, probably only get one or two washes though, but it does come with a protector spray.

my local hand car wash does engine steam cleaning, charges me £5 for it and he does it for like 10mins, engine nice and clean 
(he uses one of them big karcher jet wash with a flame for hot steam)
but i shall be looking into getting some of this "truck wash", if anyone finds an online place who sells it, please let us know

My valet uses a karcher chemical steam cleaner and it always does an excellent job... and he always does my car for free...
My new forester s/tb will be getting the treatment this weekend, but only after the turbo has cooled..

Oh and malc, you do know I can track you down now
Wooohoooo my first internet stalker.
Hard place to find mate. Turn into the industrial estate and go down to the T junction where Windy corner is then do a right. Drive about 8 car lengths and there is a big Black gate with a sign DNG. Turn in there and the doors are on the left.
If all else fails ask the Cob woman, that's what i did.
We circled that tiny estate 3 times trying to find it. Poor signage.
Andi.
Yes they are wet shots but thats just the clean. The wash and wax will bring the body up nice enouth. Bare in mind it has 106k up it and numerous owners unlike the cars in your shots.
I have to say if i was cleaning a late motor of decent value i would shoot anyone that went near it with trucky. There's really no need to use trucky on a late motor unless its had a failure of some kind that needs cleaning up.
