Having purchased a DI Vessel of eBay along with 25 litre bag of resin I thought today I would give Black Beauty a wash!
I have a 11 litre version which seems perfectly adequate for my needs and after buying a couple of 15 metre hose pipes with fittings for £6.99 each from the Range I was ready to go!!
First job, fill the vessel with resin; what a pain in the proverbial
I'd checked the internet out and realised that a traffic cone was the way to go but there was a general lack of road works near me so I had to revert to a funnel
I raided the kitchen then a hack saw was used to cut it down so the opening was large enough. I opened the bag of resin slightly then realised that it was an outer bag so opened it fully and then opened the inner bag slightly.
It was then like wrestling kittens with the bag ebbing and flowing in my arms and the contents not always coming out and then I knocked the funnel off and spilt some on the garage floor!!:fail which just added to the bits that did miss the funnel!!!
Eventually I got the required amount in and then went to re-seal the inner bag into the outer only to find more content had been lost from the secondary hole I had accidently made with my grip at the bottom of the sack!!!
Bugger!!
I deposited the inner bag in the outer and wrapped it as best I could leaving it to a rainy day to make a better job of sealing it.
I filled a bucket with the two hoses attached at each end; one to the tap the other to the supplied nozzle. Yep, there is a reason that these are only £6.99 as the connectors leak like a sieve but I did my best in sealing them!! :fail
Filled my bucket and with the £5.99 meter I tested - 16 PPM. I went indoors and from the tap filled a jug and tested this - 406 PPM!!
Well I washed the car and what a difference after I had micro towelled it dry; absolutely no rings and a nice deep shine!!
So my view is, a real pain to set up but worth it for the results :bannana::bannana:
