The point is, I bought foam solution, I'm happy with it, I got it for a price I'm comfortable with. It foams like it should (I'm no expert and don't hold it against me) the man who sold me said he has barrels or kegs if I wanted (I reiterate : I'm no expert in foam solution, what volume containers it comes in, what colour it should or shouldn't be, etc etc)

You will buy 10 cheap ones rather than buy one good.one? A decent da polisher is about 200usd and will last longer and work better than those little craps.

Pricesmart has the Armor All mini vacuum for $320 which I think is great for auto use, especially if you already have a big vacuum and don't want to be lugging it around like me.

Bel Air Store in Marabella also has either the Armor All or Shop Vac (same size) for around $300.

Thanks for the suggestions guys.

I will go with the dirt devil from massy.


One other question.-

I have a campbell hausfield electric pressure washer.
I bought a AR universal gun/lance hose kit from amazon. It works well.
A foam attachment came with it and i bought snow foam and the foam attachment works like crap, produces no foam.

This is it below.

Image


I'm thinking i may need to buy a karcher snow foam lance but will it work?

If it works it will be real good.

2)Who does the best re-uphoulstering of car seats in terms of reliability and quality . My 2004 Prado Seats need to be re-uphoulstered. I was also hearing of leather kits? Please advise me more on this.

What's your location?

Karim Khan on the forum deals meg's

Offshore marketing sells another brand

Not sure if we have a dealer for auto glym here but depending on your location tuners might be able to tell you where is the closest retailer.
