Ly r27 quick clean

Didn't realise How many pics I took. Grab a cuppa


With the weather being nice today I decided to try out some new products I bought and aquired.

Moderately dirty girls car:

Mostly just stubborn dried in dirt

After a quick pressure wash I decided to give @Auto Finesse citrus power another review.
Although this is a brilliant product, it performed how I expected on this amount of dirt:

left it for a bit to dwell before pressure washing off, it removed what I expected (everything but the stubborn bits) so I give the front end another hit. It did make the stubborn bits on the front a bit more workable

leaving a nice base for auto finesse lather to remove, what an awesome, lubey, foamy shampoo! The only think I don't like is the smell of this.

Left the suds on while I tried wonder wheels hot wheels, cheap iron x for sale in local shops. Sounded good:

Must say, say, from the quick go I had of it, I'm unimpressed. Longer dwelling time, which I can see being a problem in the summer. It's purple already so it's harder to see working. It doesn't remove as much as iron x. But I may be judging it early. Next full detail I do I'll test it properly against iron x... Because I have a litre and a half of this stuff :eek:

Pressure washed the lather off which showed the spirit and orange crush are still going strong

Gave the whole car a quick spritz of auto finesse finale to aid in drying... First time I've done this so can't comment on whether it worked or not :eek:

Keeping in with may 'passenger side - auto finesse, drivers side competition' theme, after drying I applied finale on top of spirit and sonax bsd, cheers @Jay.S for this sample on top of orange crush

Bsd is thicker than finale, I think I prefer bsd just for the consistency. I'll see what the longevity is like on them to decide for deflate which I prefer.

Applied auto finesse tough coat to the wheels, can't help but think this smells and feels like autoglym extra gloss protection.

Excuse the abrupt ending. Photobucket is throwing a paddy

I think you're comparison with WWHW against IX is a little misguided.... IX is a dedicated fallout remover whereas I'd class WWHW as an all round wheel cleaner.

Still other than that the car looks good and a decent write up :)

Looks good mate, i need to top up my products


You missed the brembos


Cheers :) I've nearly replaced everything with auto finesse products lol


If you're on about the grey bit on the passanger side front, that's overspray from when the previous owner had them refurbed. I need to take the wheels off to sort it out. But I'm too lazy lol.

I thought hot wheels was a fallout remover too? I thought they packaged it as a wheel cleaner to appeal to the general public?


if that's so then I'll have to give it another try next mini clean.


thanks :)

Very nice as always :)

Asda drying towel?

Thank you, and oh yes. They're awesome for the money. Can't go wrong for £1.50

It does have fallout remover capabilities but it is also an overall wheel cleaner, IX is a stand alone fallout remover should be used after the wheels have been cleaned, As is usually the case for it to do both something in performance has to suffer and it's the fallout remover that lacks IMO.

A great wheel cleaner but IX is usually still needed after WWHW when doing a full detail.
