    Nice work.

    I can't even imagine 65°; I washed my MKV Rabbit in my driveway yesterday evening, it was about 42° but I just couldn't resist. Moving around kept me warm.

    Now it's back down to about 20° today; otherwise I would have been doing my dad's ride.

    I still feel bad about your mishap this winter. :sorry:

    Nice and clean!!! Phils foam cannon holds 8 oz and he told me to put all soap in the bottle. So far so good. I dunno if that helps with your foam cannon.

    yeah usually i dont do that. the raceglaze snowfoam calls for 50ml per car as its super concentrated. i might try using all soap in the cannon tomorrow with something like citrus wash clear.

    I also remember Ken saying to put some car soap with the snow foam also. so give that a try maybe, hope you get more snow!! i mean snow foam

    yeah maybe ill try that too. only reason i didnt today was because i was more concerned about cleaning/stripping and that is why i chose to mix the snow foam and APC. tomorrow ill mix up some CG CWC with it.

    I always add soap to the RG Snow Foam. The SF sticks well but I like thick foam. As for stripping LSPs, I run straight APC in the cannon with a little soap. Looks like shaving cream! Just make sure you shake the bottle to mix your mixture well before using. :)

    yeah i kinda figured after the fact as the snow foam wasnt very snowy. have you mixed it with citrus wash clear?

    Looks great! Since it was 65 and sunny here I also decided to go ahead and detail my GTI :) I had been planning to wait till spring actually rolled around but I went ahead and did it today instead. It felt sooo good.
