The re-assembly of the lance is simple. It's the same process, just reversed. The threads are sealed with thread adhesive, so a vice and a strong pair of hands will be required. Please note you may require PFTE tape or adhesive to seal the threads once you reassemble.

Below you can see step-by-step how to disassemble your Duel Snow Foam Lance to access the gauze filter and the internal parts of the lance. Sun, J. et al.

Energy Mater. 7, 1601623 (2017). 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. Li, Y. et al. A strong and highly flexible aramid nanofibers/PEDOT: PSS film for all-solid-state supercapacitors with superior cycling stability. J. Mater. Chem. A 4, 17324–17332 (2016). 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).

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.

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?

Power paper ink containing CNF and PEDOT:PSS was used to form the paper electrode. The 0.52 wt% cellulose nanofibril dispersion was diluted down to 0.1 wt% with DI water, and then mixed with PEDOT:PSS, EG and glycerol. The mixture was homogenized with an Ultra-Turrax shear force mixer for 5 min, forming a well dispersed solution with a CNF/PEDOT: PSS/EG/glycerol ratio of 4.4/11.7/49.4/34.5 (wt%). The closest option in terms of durability is Autobrite Direct Magiseal, a ceramic-infused sealant that promises two months of protection from a single application. The downside with Magiseal is that it's not suitable for convertibles, and the fact you'll need to use more product than Flex. Once applied and left for up to five minutes to dwell, it comes time to rinse it off using a pressure washer and dry the car properly. There's nothing else to it, no buffing or wiping away excess product. Once the car is dried that protective layer will have been sealed in.One of the products car sealants that we recommend for protecting your car is the Flex Polymer Spray Sealant. Flex is a polymer sealant that is constructed from reactive polymers and is applied using a snow foam lance. Providing maximum performance, ease of use and exceptional results. Wang, Z. et al.
