I dont rate the Gleam that much compared to the Autoglym Shampoo and some Shamwax Shampoo I have, the gleam doesnt seem to give a good lather compared the 2 others.
The Snowfoam and the Ultra Gloss are fantastic tho! I use a 2L garden sprayer to apply the Ultra Gloss and find it works well

Yup sorry ultra gloss, and Yeah i have a 5lt one of those i think so i'll probably use it unless i pickup a smaller one!
I started like that too, but by the time I get round the jeep, my hands cramping haha.
Pressure spray is far handier and quicker

I got the 2 pump sprayers from b&m bargins for £1.99 and there dead on .
Could nearly get round a car like the golf in one go without needing to pump again.
2 pumps up of it at the very most

Does the ultra gloss go on neat or is it mixed?
is it something like 25 - 1 or 10 - 1 ?

hi guys,
i'm not ignoring anyone - been over at my brothers wedding in portugal, and will be home tonight to get back to everyone.
@Ant_ seeing your car makes me want a Z4 so much.... I think they are a fantastic looking motor, especially in convertible form!
@Marc - I appreciate feedback on the products, and I will speak to my chemist to see can he give Gleam more of a lather..... I have a new one I've been trying, and it has very little bubbles etc, but the finish it leaves is unreal.
I don't think I could sell it though, because even though the science is there, and the results are there, the lack of suds, bubbles and lather would mean people wouldn't buy it, or they would likely only buy it the once.

@Big Pimp, few shots of your ultrafoam, using our petrol washer, I've never had foam as good. Don't think the wee karcher was ever and certainly not now powerful enough to mix and spray it properly.
Tho for the under I had is mixed quite strong, and mixed with some decreaser, done an awesome job tho.
Mixed a little weaker for the bodywork
The mixture I used for underneath stood up like shaving foam on the bodywork haha

Anyone else using the glass cleaner?
I think it works really well, esp with the 2 cloths provided, only thing I like cleaning my windscreen on the inside with now, leaves no streaks and residue like the household glass cleaner I have been using previously.
