Exactly how I clean mine:-



I can't believe how anal vxrmarc is :nutter:

I'm actually interested to know what you use on your wheels as I use some spray stuff right now but it's rubbish, doesn't get the the worst of the brake dust off......that mousse looks interesting.

Sweet, you should have got a gratuitous shot of sponge lying on ground to get the detailing wonder guys all upset.

halfords wheel cleaner spray on, hose off.....agitate with toothbrush iof you must:

and continue with having a life


now, before the backlash starts, don't get me wrong, i do take pride in the appearance of my cars...even "tippex" gets a little love every now and then, but what marc is doing is anal in the nth degree of extreme, i bet if i told him the softest most absorbant, non swirly material was to be found in the pubic hair of mrs thatcher, he's be in her knickers snipping away before you'd seen which way he went.....

Ahem

Nice BUT !!

Get it rebadged to a shogun !!!

Google Pajero and spanish and you will find out why


Trev

Cool ta

Jai your opinion and technique is spot on - 99.99% of the population aren't going to notice the difference between a properly washed and waxed car or a totally detailed car, so what's the point?

ps. I think Mrs Thatcher's pubes are probably made of wire wool :chin:

i pay 2.30 down the jet place for a few mins much easier

i have used foam bog roll cleaner before tho worked quite nicley

Jai, Does the misses know your using her toothbrush....

helz if your wheels are really grubby Autoglyms wheel cleaner (orange square on white bottle) is really good if they are not too mucky dilute 50:50 with water to make it a bit milder and last longer





jai remember you can use the green side to remove bugs

i may not be as "detailly" as vxr fella, but i will look after my cars....sort off, so the green scoury bit is for the rubber mats, for the bugs....i got special "bug dissolver" spray for them, helz, that wheel stuff was actually turtlewax spray, goes on moussy, and them rinses off,

On of my ex's used a scotch pad on her car to remove bird mess It removed it really well so well in fact it also removed the paint down to the primer

awesome thread

I use the Turtlewax nano wheel cleaner spray, works a treat, and doesnt cost a fortune. Also, turtlewax nano wash&wax - quite good stuff in my eyes.
two wash mitts - one for bodywork, one for wheels (really the most easy way of cleaning wheels, it even has a scouring type pad on one side)

the odd polish happens now and again.... (like once in a blue moon )

i love having a clean car, but yeah, a lot of that detailing stuff is for sissys
