      I would possibly use a glass cleaner meant for cars. I'm sure I read somewhere that there is a slight difference in chemicals or something along those line.

    change of subject but how the hell do you get the inside of a wookies fist dry?

    Ive used mine once dried the outside ok but the inside is taking forever, 3 days since i used it and it started to smell like someone has pi**ed in it, ive had it on top of the radiator etc

  • Quote

    Perhaps turn it inside out. How did the inside get wet? You didn't machine wash it did you? Is it wet just from use in the bucket? I think mine stayed dry inside. Can I put any more questions in this post? What do you think? Can I keep going and going...?

    I soon got tired of my wookie and went back to a Megs microfibre.

    yes i put the whole thing in the bucket , next time I will try and keep the inside from getting wet, I tried turn it inside out but the neck is to tight and i cant do it. oh well I guess it will just have to sit on the radiator untill it dries out.

    Try drying it in the car with the aircon on high and hot ;)

    Same problem with sheepskin mitts, a bugger to get dry on the inside.

    I've no experience of the Wookiee's Fist :blink: but the best way to get a sheepskin mitt dry is to keep it open with something like a roll of sellotape inside the cuff & hang it up to dry. Still takes days to dry though.

    Hi everyone,

    I've decided to splash out on a snow foam lance. Could someone suggest a reasonably priced one and some snow foam solution to go with it?

    I thought this was ok... does anyone have any thoughts on it?

    I4D Lance

    Thanks

    From what i've read he recommends the snow foam and citrus somethingorother from 14d themselves.

    I think that's what Dan uses also :)

    From what I've read, go with the autobrite foam lance. ;)

    <whispers> that is the autobrite lance, but under I4D's banner...

    It's a cracker.

    It's a cracker.

    It's also more expensive (but after FOCX discount its £44.35)... it is in stock though :D

    Which snow foam do you use Dan?

    (I'm gonna buy a foam lance next month *sigh*)

  • Quote

    I use two types - both I4D's own. The citrus one is harsh enough to irritate un gloved hands, so I use that only for arches, under the car and wheels. For the paint I use their pH neutral one, very nice it is too.

    I have some 3D wax red foam I'm waiting to try also, will report back.

  • Quote

    Thanks for the advice, Dan :) I've ordered the I4D lance and the standard I4D snow foam solution (not the citrus one). Just got to wait for it to arrive..... I wanna play with it NOW :P

    Dan, which wax would you recommend for vision?

    I would go with Blue Velvet, but generally, any of the DoDo waxes would suffice.
