Facelift Post Pics Of Your Facelift A3/S3 8V In Here

Is that the little grey cannister? I've just received a K4 car and home (very early birthday present) minus the instructions.
I also got some shampoo in the box, do I use it 1 to 1 or water it down for foam?

You can download all documents from the Karcher site.

Cheers.
I've got a recess in the top of my K4 where you can drop the bottle in and it feeds automatically. I'll get the instructions off the Karcher website.
 
Rain abandoned play will get this car finished soon hopefully

Agreed, I'd recommend a decent foam lance (e.g. Auto rite) and good quality snow foam for starters.

Matt, that is the reason I will not put a ceramic coating on my car. It may require a two stage polishing compounding to remove or? I just prefer wax as it is very easy to remove. Yes, you have to polish and wax it more often but I enjoy buffing my car. My schedule is a finishing carnuba wax with very mild abrasives 3 times a year and once a year a full machine polish and wax. One thing I have noted that for the last 4 years my car has been parked at home in underground parking. That makes a huge difference to the pollution cr#p that builds up on the exterior surfaces and only requires a machine polish once a year.
