  1. Or use this to my advantage after 2 years time for a full re-spray
  2. My old man thought the same as you, ...you'll find that after snow foaming & jet washing it still won't be clean unfortunately. It will get off some of the road dirt/grime but ultimately I still think your car will look unclean once it drys. Best thing (imo) is to; jet wash, snow foam, jet wash, two bucket clean/sheeps wool mitt, jet wash and then leave to air dry if you don't want to chamois/towel dry it (you will no doubt get water marks though still). See what the others say too. Should be OK if wash my car after rain using 2 bucket method as the dusty road will turn to muddy road (not helping either as i will need to drive on the road to work)!! I jet washed my car 2 days ago, just with Citrus pre-wash soaked for around 1-2minutes, then jet washed with Vax PowerWash 3- 2500W. The pressure did a pretty good job removing most of it but as you said, not 100%. I think i can live with that But when its dry and windy, it's like living in sahara hence my concern that when my car is wet (from jet wash), the grid/sand dust will stick to the car before i start the 2 bucket method. At first, i decided not to wash the car regular and just go to my local Morrison for a quick jet wash once a month. But having a zed which looked like it had just been on a rally on a daily basis, I just can't stand it and something had to be done! As clean as possible with minimum damage to paint work is what I'm aiming for now =)
  3. Thanks for info Stu and ilogikal1!! I've recently moved to new house and managed to convinced the missus to buy a pressure washer as both our cars are full of mud pretty much every day due to many houses are still being build. I'm doing some research to find out which foam lance to purchase and I've decided to go for a £17.00 foam lance from Ebay and also 5ltr of BH AutoFoam. I don't even dare to use mitts (double bucket method) to clean my car when the weather is dry as dust will stick to my car pretty rapidly hence my plan is just to apply some snow foam, then jet wash. Not even going to dry it as I'm 100% sure the dust (micro sands) will stick to my car and act as micro sand paper when i dry it. Will be living like this for next 2 years i reckon as they are still building plenty more.
  4. With the amount of work/effort/attention to details involve...........maybe not
  5. Reversed onto my drive again today but no noise. Strange! Will keep monitoring and hopefully nothing serious.
  6. As per title, I recently notice slight whining noise only when reversing up a small tiny slope onto my drive. When it's flat, I don't notice any noise at all and no noise from 1st to 6th gear. The noise is not throughout the duration of me reversing onto my drive, only for first few seconds when i start reversing. Sometimes it doesn't even make a noise. My zed is an 04 plate, current mileage is around 80200 miles and I think its still has it's original factory clutch. My zed still pull fine/normal from 1st to 6th gear. Will it be bearings?? or clutch is on it's way? Many thanks in advance =)
  7. Hello and welcome Sorry to hear about your zed, hope you'll sort it out soon with minimum £££
  8. That should solve the MPG issue.......i might trade in mine now!!
