UKtom Posted April 3, 2014 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

GMballistic Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Welcome aboard Tom. Lovely Zed you have and your mates one in the background. One question ~ what snow foam are you using? seems to foam up really well. Quote

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

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

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
Grundy Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) I wish I could give you a thousand likes for that image (Sorry for Hijacking the thread Tom ) *Edit - So If they do that for the Toyota..... Edited April 3, 2014 by grundy225 1 Quote
GMballistic Posted April 3, 2014 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
