@imprezaworks how did you apply mate? Looks bang on!

Crunchy or smooth?

 

[imprezaworks]

Smooth, I ain't daft . Just with a cloth mate, would be better with a small sponge tbh.

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

Might give it a go as we've got some in that I don't like. Neighbours are going to think I'm mental!

"Ere, John, look at the new lad next door. He's rubbing peanut butter all over his car"

 

[imprezaworks]

Take the label off, make a new label that says expensive wax that smells of peanut butter. Done

 

[Cliotoby]

Never heard of that lol. Like using shoe polish!

 

[imprezaworks]

Yep I've heard of using shoe polish

Sure I've asked in here but can't find the post.

What wheel cleaners are people using? I've just run out of my AB Very Cherry which I got years ago. Any better ones out now?

Best just to give them a decent clean and then seal them - Iron-x to get rid of the fallout then apply a product like Dlux to seal.

I just use a pressure washer and sometimes shampoo and a detailing brush on mine.

I was given some Meguiars Detailer Wheel brightener which I've been using recently.

I've found it to be really really good.

 

[leedsboy]

I've got some Planet Polish sealant but I just want a wheel cleaner that I can buy 5L of and dilute down to how I want it for more caked on dirt like the ones on my other halfs Mini.

Thought that was Acidic based?

 

[Amos91]

Wonder Wheels Hot Wheels used to be pretty good & cheap in Morrisons.

As long as you dilute it correctly it's safe as houses.

4:1 is perfect.

 

[Silent_Scone]

Grime Out is awesome. They're only next door to me as well, Britemax. So I just grab it when I need it.

Also loving the beading after the rain just now. Put another two coats of Light Fantastic on yesterday. Such a faggot.

Ok will do

 

[leedsboy]

Called in at Costco after work and came across this. Not sure whether it'll be any good but at around £7 for 5L I'd be daft not to give it a bash

 

[497adam]

I still really like Bilberry wheel cleaner for unsealed wheels


No signature just for Rob

Vics doesn't last though.I 'd want some finis wax.

I'm going for finis, if it's pony I'll hunt you down. Much love

Rob I've got a few pots of various wax sitting in the garage. You're more than welcome to nick them to try.

Most of them sit there doing nothing because I never use them

He says, approximately 12 minutes after I placed my order... haha! Cheers anyway mate, finis wasn't that expensive, like 30 odd quid.

I've ordered from elite car care, and it's actually on my way home from work (I'm working in winnersh) so I'll be going to pick it all up tonight. Excite.

Why did you order a big pot mong face?

 

[Rob]

Why would I order a little one? I have two cars and two bikes I can apply it to!

 

[Silent_Scone]

@gally How long does Dodo's Light Fantastic last generally? I've put a couple layers on now. Britemax are letting me try some of their Vantage stuff, was tempted to give that a try over the weekend

 

[aucky]

2-3months
Depends on a few factors.

Pretty much bang on. Vantage will feel like another world if used correctly. Light fantastic is pretty old school now.

 

[Silent_Scone]

They're next door so letting me give it a try. Wish I'd taken him up on it now but forgot to pick it up before leaving.

On a separate note, massive industrial bin lid hit my wing at work today. These are coated in Xpel, think it's paid for itself (hopefully)

What wheel cleaner is best for diamond cut alloys?
