Adam’s Foam Cannon Kit

  • The foam cannon set up with a professional short trigger and a twin-shooter switch, so you can flick between snow foam and water.  This whole setup looks cool; this isn’t your normal foam cannon setup. It looks like a weapon, very pro 
  • The wash bucket with a mitt slide to clean the wash mitt as you wash, reducing scratches.
  • The performer drying towel is an amazing drying towel, 70:30 blend, the best drying towel we’ve ever found.

Michelle’s Car Wash Kit
  • Autostolz Snow Foam, which is the highest foaming snow foam.
  • Autostolz premium auto wash adds amazing shine and water beading that builds with each wash
  • Autostolz enhanced spray wax adds amazing shine and water beading. It doesn’t discolour trim like other waxes, and can be used on a wet car, so after a wash you can spray it on and buff off as you dry, making it faster.  It’s so easy and really looks good.
  • Out of all the products Lovecars uses, this is the best combination, really easy to use, and gets great results.


Together, you’ve got the setup to foam, wash, protect and dry your car properly – using some of NZ’s top-selling car detailing products.

Motorsport Flashback: The Temple of Speed

28 August, 2026

On the banks of the Lambro River is Europe’s largest enclosed park, all 688 hectares of it. Parco di Monza was commissioned by the son of an Austrian empress as a summer retreat in the late 1700s, but it would be for another century and a half before ground was broken on what would become Italy’s famous theatre of speed at the park’s northern end. One hundred years ago on 3 September, less than four months after work started, Autodromo Nazionale di Monza was officially opened and the first race – appropriately, the Italian Grand Prix – was run a week later. Monza was the world’s third purpose-built circuit, after Brooklands and Indianapolis, and was the result of the Milan Automobile Club financing the 3500 workers who created the super-quick, and consequently dangerous, track that made the word ‘Monza’ synonymous for speed.

Bronze treasure unearthed

The car was put away in favour of something more practical, and when his father was unable to drive any more, Matt’s friend asked him to come and take a look at his dad’s old Holden. It turned out this was one of those phone calls that leads to that feeling of pure joy in the classic car world — the ‘barn find’ that turns out to be even better than expected. The HT Monaro had been put to bed some years before and had not seen the light of day since. Layers of dust and boxes of junk littered her undercarriage and bodywork and access points all around.
