Jet wash I use can be adjusted to a fine mist which dilutes the foam to run off.
If the water isn't blasting then you'll be fine.

Mine were exactly the same yesterday, and to be honest have been like that for a week or so, but had so much else to do I just left them, totally covered in a thick dust deposit. But it has p1ssed down for the past 24 hours, so all that dust has just gently been washed away. Now I have 60 mph gusts of wind drying everything off, no problem. All being well, tomorrow or the next day I can wash them properly without any concerns.If the water isn't blasting then you'll be fine.
Hole in the ground with a shipping container in it..?Just been knocked back again for our garage plans... oh well that a big chunk of money I can spend on other things.
To be honest, that is about all they will let me build... who would have thought a garage to look like a barn, replacing a barn would be so contentionsHole in the ground with a shipping container in it..?
Still needs planning permission unless up for less than 28 days.What about a "temporary" wooden structure?

I know what you mean. I had to fight a ***** of a planning officer to get mine. To start with she said no because I was in a conservation area, I had to send a map of the conservation area with my property marked to prove she was wrong, I wasn't in it. After that she would not agree to anything, I wanted a room above which she couldn't stop me from having but she wanted to. She was going to throw the whole lot out so I went to her boss and put him straight about a few things and I was going to get the building inspector involved, guess what, it got passed.To be honest, that is about all they will let me build... who would have thought a garage to look like a barn, replacing a barn would be so contentions
Oak framed garage or car port, but put wheels on itStill needs planning permission unless up for less than 28 days.
Listed building, AONB so PP needed even for a shipping container.Sounds like you have been round the Bock's on this and probably know more than me. If you just want somewhere to park to keep the dust off how about a wooden sectional garage I don't think you need permission for that and you could take it with you when you leave.
The planners should realise that if people hadn't been allowed to build what the wanted in the past, we wouldn't have conservation area's now.
Exactly so as said.Listed building, AONB so PP needed even for a shipping container.
Strange as it fits mine fine at the end of the lance. I didn't even have to change any fittings.So a trial run on the BMW, 'cos I couldn't care less if the wheels fell off.
Good subject, white, and suitable light grime around the skirts (Lower half panels and rear.)
Now the exercise is to lift grime/abrasive stone dust without sponging.
First: The Halfords Snow Foam lance doesn't fit, to any of the Titan guns, accessories, hose. The Halfords thing comes with several adapters.
It looks as though the Hose and gun and accessories on the Titan are nothing like the Standard Karcher etc.
It maybe that they have changed, but no, people have had difficulty matching up adapters since 2016
However, there is a similar dispenser included with the Titan.
Loaded up with Autoglym SnowFoam just as a trial.
To start
A quick lance over first with the fan, merely to wet the surface. Not much effect there. Didn't even lift a smear that lifted with a light finger.
So the SnowFoam.
Well, neither. Snow nor Foam.
Probably 'cos the dispenser is useless. Ho hum.
Washed off with the more aggressive rotary lance.
Bu&&er all effect.
Skirts as grimy as ever.
So Bilt Hamber Snow Foam.
A little better, but really just blaaahhhed and flobbed over the paintwork. Must be the applicator, as I've seen spectacular Snow Foam fun elsewhere. Great fun, but never observed the effectiveness.
Left to react/work for 5 minutes.
Washed with less aggressive fan/lance.
BMW skirts completely untouched.
High pressure rotary lance.
Bu&&er all
Let it drain.
A light hand spray of Bilt Hamber Surfex HD .
Left for 5 minutes
Less aggressive fan jet.
Washed the grime away easily.
Completely clean.
Fooooooooooo'ing brilliant
Bilt Hamber Surfes HD it is, and plain lances
I've still no idea whether Snow Foam is worth it, as the trial wasn't representative.
So thank you all for the advice.
The Titan is fine (it's the 2nd one, 1st broke on assembly)
The Halfords Snow Foam Lance doesn't fit
I should have bought a standard Karcher to start with with the assurance that there'd be no bu&&ering about with accessories.
I'm stuck with the Titan now. Fuff.
I've 5 litres of Bilt Hamber Snow Foam and 1.5 litres of Autoglym Snow Foam (about £45 in all) that's sitting there useless unless I can find an adapter
and it seems that loads of people have difficulty in finding the correct adapter for the Titan, so either the Halfords Foam lance goes back, or if anyone can advise on which of the plethora of adapters fit: Black and Dekker or whatever.
