UKtom Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Hi there! Thought I'd introduce myself as I picked up my 350 on Monday - my names Tom and I'm from Fareham, Portsmouth Used to own a MINI Cooper S with some subtle OEM+ touches so I'm almost certain the zed won't stay standard for long! Pics of the MINI (I'll really miss it!!): Took me a few weeks to find the right one when this one popped up a couple of hours away; a facelift 56 plate which was pretty much top of the range... I'll let the pics do the talking. The night I picked it up: The paintwork was awful and had so many swirls/scratches - think it had been put through a car wash it's whole life! After a snow foam, clay, polish and wax this is how it came up... and the first mod (albeit small): LED numberplate bulbs. Can't have a car without them! so the 'to do' mods list is huge, I won't bore you all... just watch this space The private plate from the mini will soon been transferred once I have the new v5 through. Thanks for looking 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Autobrite magifoam & lance I've found works the best for me Look's like it works a lot better than the snow foam I use. Might look into that stuff once I get through the two litres I've got left of Demon snow foam. Thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. **Argh, wrote this all out, miss clicked and went back a page, and now I'm retyping this even more with this bloody sentence ** I was on Demon, I've now tried something else, albeit just as cheap (£15) for 2/3 lts - And to be fair, it's just the same as demon in terms of foamy. It had tons of good reviews, says it foamed up well etc - I think the issue we got is the Lance/Snow Foam Gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be right as the snow foam lance I'm using is the one that came with my Halfords pressure jet washer. I may look into a new one but from what I've just looked at the Autobrite magnifoam can be bought with a lance. I'll just have to make it fit my pressure washer then, "Heath Robinson" style. Also found this interesting picture to show you how good the Autobrite stuff appears to be. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMballistic Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Trust you GM ! Anyway it's not my fault Zeus. It was like one of the top images that came up on google when I typed in Autobrite for some strange reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
