    So with the nice weather yesterday I decided to break out the Karcher and wash the cars.

    Started with a rinse of the big dirt and then a snow foam:

    Then gave them a rinse:

    The Pug was only dusty really so that was enough for it.
    The ST on the other hand was filthy so out with the two Buckets, wash mit and Meguiars Gold Class shampoo:

    ST all shampooed up:

    And then rinsed off:

    Looking good.... What's the foam your using and what you use on the wheels.

    I used Supafoam Snow foam from Autobrite
    For the wheels I just clean the wheels themselves with the powerwasher and a sponge, give them a coat of AutoGlym Alloy Wheel Seal every couple of washes, makes them really easy to clean.
    For the tyres I use Meguiars Hot Shine

    What can be used after a wash to dry off the car preventing streaks? I tried with a microfiber cloth but it's not very absorbent, also have the Aldi mitts..

    I have a big microfiber drying towel. 2ft x 3ft
    It's very absorbent and does a great job.
