I've got the little foam nozzle with a bottle under it that came as part of the karcher car kit. Works perfectly (if a little overzealous with the mix ratio)

That's the stuff I usually use or sometimes I use a citrus pre wash as this does a better job of breaking down tar spots etc and also doesn't remove any wax.
Totally agree with this, you need...
For a start, do you actually have a proper snow foam attachment? I ask, as I bought the basic Karcher one and they are useless. Recently bought a proper one and can now make proper clingy foam, like...
This is the stuff I use happy with it.

Demon foam isn't bad, leaves a slight wax layer.
I bought 4 x 5L bottles of foam from eBay a while back for 27 quid. Different flavours - apple, pineapple, cherry and watermelon.
The foam goes on...

Those are a variant of the Ixion, normally, they're diamond cut anthracite and don't have the knobbly bits.
:stupid:
and I use a water purifying column to reduce the TDS to zero - our water is also rock hard.
Oh and for foam I use megs hyper wash

You get proper filters, look on polishbliss 90% of my stuff comes from them.
But the ride quality will suffer !.also how much are 19" tyres in a good brand .
He's right.

id do the brakes silver of black. i think painting them blue or any other bright colour would just kill the car
Save up for 19" Ixions :)
It'll be worth the wait.
Quick way to see if it's got a remap....
does it go like holy buggery?
If so, it's got the polestar on it :)
Look nice Mac! I love little items like this that finish off the interior and add a personal touch.

They look very nice

I'm running on sportcontact 5's.
They are rubbish. Loads of road noise and sound and feel like they are slipping on low speed tight turns.

I run 235/40/18 Pirelli P Zero Rossos and have no reason to complain.....excellent tyres in my book.
I don't think you can wrong with any of the tyres in your shortlist.
Going on reviews it looks like the Michelin Pilot Sport 3's come out on top, I know they aren't on your list but a few members use these (myself included) and rate them highly.

I know most of the time it boils down to budget and personal circumstances BUT I can never get my head around anyone who'd fit budget branded tyres to a 300+ bhp car capable of 150mph. Everyday...
