use that with an EZ brush for the insides of them. Then protect. Better protection the easier they will be to clean next time round. As I say, I use jetseal, its fantastic for it.

You clean the inside of your exhaust pipes? Wow, I'm impressed. I knew a guy on a BMW forum a few years ago who removed his wheels once a week to clean inside them properly and then, once every six months, he removed the tyres from the rims to clean inside them, too. Can you beat that? :laugh:

Dont you mate ? Obviously only clean as far as I can get my brush in there, but they get black if you dont and doesnt make the exhaust look that nice.

Good God!! How much do you NOT want to spend an evening with those guys? Even the detailingworld members seem aghast, as there's only been one reply to all those photos in 18 months :grin: Makes me kind of relieved in a way, I sometimes think I'm a bit anal about my vehicles, but I'm lightyears off this :laugh:

Well fcuk me sideways, shave my legs and call me grandma, sit on my face and call me daddy!
But these guys are in another league.
They are lonely and need to get laid by anything, if they are lucky.
I just can't stop laughing.

Yeah only one reply and even that looks like a bogus account as they have only posted once!!!!

Did you read his engine post?!?!
http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=81805

He has since sold the car and moved on to an Focus!!!

His dedication is nothing though compared to some.
This guy has stripped everything off the car and I mean everything just to clean it!!!!

This calls for a chill pill.
I wonder how he washes himself?
I dread to think of the consequences. :embarassed:
