I use it every few weeks. If I'm stuck for time, I'll just do the bonnet, boot and top of half of car. It's a slow enough process for doing the entire car but I think it's worth it. This was my car after a snow foam (Auto Finesse Avalanche Snow Foam), wash (Meguiar's Ultimate Wash & Wax), machine dry and wax (Meguiar's Ultimate Liquid Wax). First time using Ultimate Liquid Wax and it was very easy to apply. |

I got some of the Finesse Avalanche Snow Foam to try and it seemed to work pretty well TBH as a pre-wash. I also got some of the Ceramic Foam to try but haven't used that yet.
I was surprised how quickly the dispenser emptied though but that might be down to me not being familiar with the dispenser. |

Personally I find it quite easy to clean my 791M bicolour wheels by hand, so I currently only use the BH product once a month, what with doing very few miles (2.6k in 7 months). Plus I am washing mine twice a week at the moment (MSB loves sand coloured rain) I have been using it for at least 10 years without any damage to the various diamond cut and bicolour wheels fitted on the 2+ cars on the drive |

Only the final rinse. I use a gentle flow to basically displace any other water on the car. I spray it into any trouble spots where I get drips after washing so that they do not leave water marks later. Seems to work on my black car.

So, novice here... whats a DI tank? (guessing deionised water?). Not sure how that is incorporated into car wash routine.
A couple of other questions whilst here please...
Thanks in advance.

1) use a lens cleaning cloth. I got a Zeiss one from Amazon which is A4 sized for about a fiver and it cleans it perfectly.
2) use Armour All or similar DI is de-ionised water, as you say. I don’t follow the chemistry of how that prevents drying marks but apparently it does. Distilled water I’d sort of understand. |

A DI takes all the dissolved solids out of tap water. So when you spray it on a car and it dries it leaves no marks at all. I have a little meter to test the water. Total dissolved solids goes from 200 to 0 with my DI vessel.
As I said above rinse the car at the end to remove soap and if you miss any bits then no water marks are left. Great on a black car. |

Those of you who use foaming products, and in particular the Autoglym three stage process where two of them are different foams, how do you get it off your driveway afterwards? It seems like stubborn stuff! Is there a way to kill the foam?

https://www.amazon.co.uk/AquaHouse-f...s%2C144&sr=8-3 I find drying marks on my Mineral Grey very bad as I live in a very crap water area. It's a bit cheeky that they advertise this as de-ionised water though, it's just a filter. Properly de-ionising water cannot be achieved by filtering as it's a chemical process. Might give it a go though.

This one is very popular.... https://www.raceglaze.co.uk/race-gla...14-litre-tall/ But I got one like the tall blue one on the webpage from a window cleaning company, Vyair. https://www.vyair.com/en/0835-high-p...city-blue.html Cheaper and bigger, but you have to buy the resin too. Works well and we use the water for steam irons and cleaning where you do not want water marks. This also keeps my wife happy!! |

Reviving my thread, as I had a productive morning cleaning my Mineral White G15 and my mate's Brooklyn Grey G22!
I have to say, seeing them in the flesh the G22 is a fantastic looking thing, and Brooklyn grey is a cracking colour! |
