It's important to note that heavy maintenance shouldn't be necessary if you follow just a few simple instructions. However, we have detailed below just how to strip down your lance for maintenance. After using your foam lance, keep your lance head attached to your pressure washer and flush through with clean water. This will ensure that any remaining soap or detergents are removed from the lance body and the gauze filter, stopping them from clogging up. This is especially important when using FLEX Polymer Sealant, as the gauze filter could become clogged up after a few uses without being flushed with water. If this process is followed each time you use the foam lance, you should very rarely need to perform any extra maintenance. This may be slightly different if you live in a hard water area where the water contains a high mineral content which could cause deposits to form inside the gauze filter, more regular maintenance would be required in this situation.
Zhang, H., Qiao, Y. & Lu, Z. Fully printed ultraflexible supercapacitor supported by a single-textile substrate. ACS Appl. Mater. Interfaces 8, 32317–32323 (2016). Why did we choose this method of application? We see an increased demand for simple, easy to use products within the detailing/valeting space, and for a good reason too. Most enthusiasts haven't got hours upon hours to apply and remove various products, yet not wanting to settle for sub-par products. With this in mind, we decided on this style of spray and rinse application which is completed in under 10 minutes. Zamarayeva, A. M. et al.

High-performance flexible all-solid-state supercapacitor from large free-standing graphene-PEDOT/PSS films. Sci. Rep. 5, 17045 (2015). FLEX will secure a deep, glossy finish with the added benefit of a hydrophobic coating that will display both water sheeting and beading. This highly durable water repellent finish will protect your paintwork and glass for a solid 6-8 weeks on a well-maintained vehicle. One bottle will provide 20 applications (@5ml per application).

Khan, Y. et al. Flexible hybrid electronics: direct interfacing of soft and hard electronics for wearable health monitoring. Adv. Func. Mater. 26, 8764 (2016).Durability seemed impressive too. We examined the water beading properties after a couple of weeks and found that while the beading wasn't as dramatic as before, it was still there, even after a subsequent car wash. Any downsides?

More and more companies are embracing pressure washer-applied protection, but options are still rather slim. Autoglym's Polar Seal is the most mainstream offering and was mostly excellent when we tested it. There's a distinct advantage over the Polar Seal as Flex can be applied directly to a car's windscreen, something explicitly forbidden by Autoglym. To prepare a bar coating compatible gel electrolyte, EMIM-ES and DI water in a ratio of 1:3.4 were mixed together using magnetic stirring and then placed on a hotplate at 100 °C. 6.2 wt% HEC was slowly added. The solution was mixed at 100 °C for 1 h to become a gel. Prior to printing, the HEC: EMIM-ES based gel was cooled down to room temperature. Printing procedures Car sealants serve the primary purpose of protecting the clean painted surface with additional products that can then be layered above the sealants to add a varied amount of desired finishes by adding other hydrophobic properties or gloss enhancers.

Polymer sealant constructed from reactive polymers applied using a snow foam lance, providing maximum performance, ease of use and exceptional results.

Sci. 7, 2101 (2014).In fact, while Flex can't compete with the competition in terms of volume, the super-concentration makes it the best value for money. The fact that 5ml of product is enough to protect a car outshines the competition and makes this exceptionally good value for money, Duel Autocare even claim that Flex costs 75p per application. Verdict At Duel Auto Care, we provide the best sealants on the market. Take a look at what we have available to get started. Li, F., Chen, J., Wang, X., Xue, M. & Chen, G. F.
