DanGull Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I have an I4D lance with I4D foam. I have both the citrus and standard foams from them and both are excellent. I also use the lance with Megs All Purpose Cleaner to strip wax. Make sure you use a lance with a pressure washer - those that go on the end of a hose are a waste of time.

DanGull Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 It all depends what products you use and what your aims are. As far as I'm concerned - if you're using a good quality hard or soft wax (as opposed to say a liquid wax) you don't want to strip that off each wash - it's too expensive and unnecessary. Good waxes will easily last 3 months if applied well in the first place. To avoid stripping these, you need to use what are known as wax safe products. Both I4D snow foams are wax safe, as are most good quality shampoos. They will take the dirt away without removing the wax layers underneath the dirt. I only remove wax when it's time to reapply - that way I don't have nice fresh layers over manky old ones. For this you need a stronger product - such as an all purpose cleaner. Some people do like to apply fresh wax every wash, especially if they're using liquid or fast waxes. If you go for these, then you may want to strip each time. It's more economical in the long wrong to lay out for a high quality wax, and then apply it less frequently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanGull Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 3 months, not weeks. Light fantastic is a good wax, so should last at least that long, especially when topped up with Red Mist. Yes, my routine is to strip it every 3 months with APC in the lance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
