Removing proper dirt/crud/tar/concrete?

[Sir_Dave]

Essentially the Trophy hasnt been cleaned in about 6 months, & last time, the only way we could get rid of the ground in dirt was by using a toilet brush. Needless to say, i only did that on the door sills, not the rest of the car, which is why it still feels as rough as a badgers ar5e.

Personally, i think i need to remove this caked on dirt before i can even consider claying it, but what on earth can i use?

I need something to quite literally dissolve a mm thick layer of muck - a pressure washer/sponger/wash mit wont remove it lol.

How about a steam cleaner? Don't know what it will do to your paint though!!

Tardis and ironx.

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Snowfoam/TFR.

I'd probably: APC through a snowfoam lance. Shampoo through the lance. Pressure-wash the lot off. Wash with some decent shampoo/mitt. Tardis/Iron-x then clay... then correct/seal as you wish.

[Sir_Dave]

Lovely, well ive already got some Tardis from when i removed the tints on the M3, so just purchased some Ironx to go with it.

[Jamie86]

Yep Tardis is great you can actually watch it "melting" the tar on your arches etc..

A heavy duty all purpose cleaner or traffic film remover applied through a pressure washer and left to dwell without drying would be a good start. Have a look for megs apc or G101 as they are favoured I believe

Wash down with a strong dilution wash mix then start with the tardis and iron x. Maybe look at the wolf's iron remover as that can be left a lot longer

This would be a great test for the New nano towel on detailing world that everyone's talking about

[JamesBryan]

G101 mixed 1:1 should do it, then as said.. tar/iron removers

TFR, left to dwell. High ratio'd all pupose cleaner like G101 in a snow foam, left to dwell. Pressure wash off after each, then Tardis, then Iron-X, then another snow foam with G101.

I'd actually be happy to help. For a beer.
