Chemical Guys Fabric Clean is very good.
Dilute it down, spray it on, scrub it in, and ideall wet vac it out, but not totally necessary. Pat it down with a dry microfiber, if no vac, it might take two attempts to remove fully, as sometimes it will leave its on slight stain, where the area was wetted and dries with a tide line.
Looking really nice there Dave!!! Gorgeous !!! :cool: :cool: :cool:
A bit of wheel cleaning I did last week. I used Bilt Hamber AutoWheel from Detailing Shed.

The wheels are brand new due to the old ones having whiteworm on them. Colm Quinn replaced them with brand new ones. All I need to do now is get the finger out and get Gtechniq C5 on them asap to prevent that happening again!
Or CarPro DLUX! ;) :P
Gtechniq Fanboi! :D
I've tried CarPro DLUX as you well know and I don't like how sticky it is after application.
At the risking of sparking outrage and controversy...I've found my new favourite detailing product. Turtle Wax Hard Shell paste wax, €9.99 from Halfords...or €9 with group scheme discount.
It's quite a soft paste, so I presume that'll mean durability won't be the best, but it means it's a doddle to apply and easier to take off. Finish is very very good from it..I can only compare it to the likes of Poorboys Nattys or Collinite 476. Worth a punt, especially at under a tenner.

It's not necessarily what is put on the car that makes it look good; 90% of the battle is in the preparation! ;)
Ah yeah absolutely, I reckon mine needs a serious going over to get it looking its best. Would love a full pro detail, but not gonna happen for a while.Quote:

Anyway, Though I'd give my Mk6.5 Fiesta Zetec S 1.6TDCI some love.

Starting off by removing and doing all wheels individually, Used Astonish wheel cleaner and TarX, Then used Autoglym SRP and EGP.

Then:
Snowfoam - Bilt Hamber Autofoam
Washed - Increditmitt and Autoglym Shampoo (2BM)
Iron - Bilt Hamber Korrosol (Smells like sick mixed with putrid farts!!!)
Rinsed
Tar - CarPro TarX
Rinsed, Showfoamed and rinsed again just to be sure all the above was gone.
Dried - Dry me Crazy
Autoglym Super Resin Polish
Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection
