[Blackmass]

Thanks for for the info. Looks like I'll be doing some laundry tomorrow.

Why, out of interest, should you use non-bio and no conditioner Booth?

I've used both bio and non and haven't any adverse reduction in absorbency / performance.  I never use fabric conditioner though.

Well I've been up since 6 o'clock cleaning my car before the sun's 'over the monkey's bum:grin:

Used the Wo-Wo drying towel again after washing it and only had two bits of fluff on the car. Used Meguiars quick detailer which improved the drying process. It also left the car with a nice gloss finish, which was nice.

The Metro Vac is still something high on my shopping list though.

Just a couple of questions with regards tyres and wheel cleaning.

What's the best thing to remove tyre dressing? What ever the dealers used is proving to be a pain to get off.

Wheel cleaners, what do people recommend? I was thinking of getting some Auto Finesse lmperial wheel clean.

PS: I'm buying so Wheel Woodies this week. 

Your advice as always will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers
Rob

Hi Rob

For removing old tyre dressing, something like All Purpose Cleaner (APC), degreaser, panel wipe, or even strong solution if washing up liquid or car shampoo.

Wheel cleaner - got to be Valet Pro Bilberry Wheel Cleaner

Wheel Woolies are THE best

Thanks Rebecca.

Thanks Rebecca.

Rob, don't forget some protection for your wheels - Poorboys Wheel Sealant    It's never ending 

[Eccie]

Thanks Rebecca.

Rob, don't forget some protection for your wheels - Poorboys Wheel Sealant    It's never ending 

You'd be better off using FK1000p on your wheels Its much better than Poorboys - lasts a lot longer

[Booth11]

I've not tried FK1000p, but other people on here also rate it.  Still, it's no great hardship to top up the Poorboys every few weeks and it is a very good wheel sealant imo.
