Need to do mine as well, hoping for a day that is at least a bit warmer. GBR

What is the foam you are using? Think I need some!

It is the pro-kleen snow foam with wax. I have it in a selection of flavours but don't get banana - it smells like monkey puke
![]() I use a hot water pressure washer too which I think helps it foam. ![]() |

The rear X member on the Puma is getting a bit scabby. The v8 is tucked up in bed, I even put the heater on for her today.

Ah bless! But then again it might soon be worth £150k

I last washed mine March 2017. It stinks like a farmyard inside. There are cleaner tanks out on the Plain today. I think it needs fumigating more than cleaning ![]() |

That's why I got a DCPU - muddy dogs & anything that stinks go in the back!

I think that was a wise decision!

"I last washed mine March 2017"
I'm not quite as bad as that, but my truck hasn't been cleaned since I let my local Albanians loose with their pressure washers as its Christmas present. Of course, my neglect shows in the truck's corrosion, I reckon the windscreen hinges and window catches which have turned chalky white will need replacing in about fifteen years' time, and the rear X-member is showing a few bubbles so will require a bit of fettling by the normal 10-year mark, i.e. 2021. In the meantime, I just keep on keeping on, sometimes I really wish I had the time to wash and polish my toys... nah, not really! Peter |
