Pressure washer, snow foam lance and some foaming solution. Looking between £150-£250 depending on the pressure washer.
Autobrite snow foam lance, £45 + offer on at the moment look detailing world (group buy section) for £52 i got 5liters of Super snow foam aswell including 1l of citrus degreaser with foaming top and bottle.
And of course a pressure washer decent one i would say with 100+ bar plus prehaps? I have a Karcher, you need to specify as the connections differ for each lance. I have a K6060 which is massive pressure washer with 130+ bar but i think you can get away with the £60 - £70 Karchers.
the more BAR (and flow rate) the better when using Foam guns. 100+ bar would be best, although 90 worked for me with a 50:50 solution

hey gangsters
can you recommend me a good glass cleaner? i do zillions of miles and end up with bugs all over it. im not too fussed if its a squeezy paste or a spray, but i want it to clear off bugs, grease and id like to be able to use it on the inside of the glass to get rid of that mist too
what do you recommend?

Give them a ring, tell them what offer you want and speak to MARK.

Wash looks fine, i personally like Megs Gold Class 64oz only £14.99 and will last well over a year
All in one is good, as for wax i would try R222 Carnauba Wax or Pete 's 53
As for tyres Billberry can not praise enough, new look trim is good, but i find it poor on tyres i use x2 coats of Meguiars High Gloss Tyre gel interior looks fine, and gliptone if you have leather.

Scotch Brite magic eraser pads are awesome for getting your leather wheel back to its original matte finish.
Sod buying a new wheel @ £200 when £2 on some magic pads works wonders
You reckon that will work OK on rubber? Ive been after something to clean my steering wheel with that wont make it slippery. All interior cleaning products specifically state not to be used on wheels, gearsticks, etc.
