Figured now its been paint corrected and ceramic coated I should invest in keeping it looking its best, not that I didn't before mind you...

First time using TL as I usually go for Auto foam so will be interesting to see if I notice a difference.
Hoping the lance will be as good as they say too, Current one is a PA lance, a Clean your car own brand if memory serves so it's decent, but that MJJC is on another level, super heavy and you can feel the quality on every part of it. Should fall over less too due to the shape.
IK Foamer because Youtubers. :cry:

@ShiWarrior There's a battery powered pump sprayer (looks like it may have multiple nozzles, enabling it to foam product too)

HYDRO+ Portable Battery Sprayer

Our Hydro+ Portable Battery Sprayer is the multi-purpose professional sprayer missing from your arsenal.

Could be a solution for you as the product will be the correct PIR inside the vessel already, won't require continual pumping and it'll save your Worx battery for rinsing.

you know what

that company still havent replied to me about its battery life

But its certainly one of a kind !

another good thing about this, it has 2 different nozzles, one foamer, 1 sprayer, so maintaining it over winter would certainly be easier!, like using ONR in this using the Sprayer nozzle


when my car is needing a wash, i will buy one and test it :)

Needed some more foam and got an email alert from In2Detailing that Touch-Less was back in stock so I grabbed some. Ordered a few other bits while I was there..... Ooops. :D

By way of an update....

Touch-Less is good, just as good as Auto Foam, possibility better but I need to use it a few more times (and in my old PA lance to make it fair!)
Speaking of the MJJC lance is great, solid bit of kit, stands up and is built like a tank. Only the first time I've used it but it seems great.

IK Foamer is still up for debate, feels like a but if a gimmick tbh but fun. Need to pump the crap out if it though!

Liking Reset and Reload. Need it to rain to see what the beadage is like.

Clarify smelled good enough to drink!

The new drying towel is the star of the show though, just awesome, my old one was good but this is like some kind of witchcraft.
Brushes are ridiculously soft, great for badges, grills etc.

I love the idea of washing my car but detest the execution. I often say to folk when they insist I love washing my car; that it is more of a sadomasochistic ritual - your car simply never gets better. Each and every wash you uncover a new 'thing' to wind you up.

See for me it's something I enjoy, and find it relaxing.
 
Likewise - I find it satisfying washing and transforming my car from a grubby mess to something immaculate! Although tidying up afterwards not so much.


I have been slowly refreshing all of my Microfibres and recently bought Sams “TikTok” Drying Towel which I have been impressed with and made the chore of a drying process less of a chore.

I believe his towel is no different to the following other than his branding stamped onto it.

Have also just ordered one of these (Looks to be identical to what V_R has) It may make Sams towel redundant unless I am doing both cars in one go.

These are the ones I linked to in my post. Really are great!
 
I also enjoy it but carrying what I would imagine is circa 140ltr of water (multiple trips obviously) down two flights of stairs is the killer.

An outdoor tap would make it a lot easier but supposedly there was a disagreement with the developer and Thames Water about the supply. One is saying it was damaged already and TW are saying the developers damaged it during construction.

Based on:
20ltr wheel wash bucket
20ltr wheel rinse bucket
20ltr paint wash bucket
20ltr paint rinse bucket
40 to 60ltr for the portable pressure washer
