Anyone wash their car today? ?

When I was a student in the 80's where I lodged during term time the guy downstairs from us had a Ford Cortina Mk 3 in metallic light blue. In those days they were a single coat metallic without lacquer. It had started to go dull on some parts of the paintwork, so I kid you not, he used a brillo pad all over it to make all panels equally dull. I remember how sad it now looked and all the blue residue around the car on the floor after it had been rinsed.

Wonder how it’s doing now 🤔

Now you pay extra for that sort of Matt finish. Least his was free. 😉🙂👍
 
Agreed, better still if it was Orange.🤪

Just ordered the quick release nozzle set and the zero force 4 gun for mine, mine's a p57 and has zero force 3 gun.
Bit of a sucker with AVA stuff at moment.


Just collected this:

Really nice design and quality, typical of AVA and no need for the adapter required for my current bottle.
 
Got that myself it is a brilliant foam cannon, hidden tip where the pickup tube is there is a thread if you wanted to screw a product bottle straight on rather than use cups.
Also the ridges in the bottom of cups are measure points for small amounts of product.

Just had a look, got to admit it’s got some brilliant features which are not mentioned anywhere I can see, love them.

While I was there I did a bit of a service to the hose gun.
