@Mattyh606 try the autobrite lance. I use bilt hamber snow foam, it isn't a foamy as others on the market but it breaks down dirt well

Hi all, after a bit of advice.
I’ve found a caddy with electric windows at a breakers. Can I put all these motors etc into my caddy with windy windows to do an electric window conversion? I’ve already got a set of touran door cards ready with electric switches. Or would it be easier grabbing a set of electric motors etc out of a touran?

Fitted a new transfer box from a Skoda scout and changed the gear oil. Fitted a set of 17” mk2 Audi TT alloys and a set of alloy roof rails

@R8umar
Thank you pal , the karcher foam gun is rubbish, I have been using autoglym polar foam , it's good foam but the gun let's it down

@Mattyh606 ye I've used that foam. It is good stuff. Try that lance used it myself and its decent. They sometimes have offers on their website where they dona lance + foam offer which works out the same price as just the lance.

@Mattyh606 was just a cheap lance off eBay with Auto Finesse Avalanche, seems to work well
