This was my thinking, because it works for me. If I sell a few for no gain to CS (say 15) I'd be perfectly happy having 45 bottles @£1.15 to keep and use as needed.

Possibly chap. Although I've already got five for three!
ont tell anyone about those being allowed 3, and limit the number of bottles per person if you want.. :L alternatively, wait until everywhere is sold out over the country, and flog it out of your boot at CSS like the eastern europeans do with odd vegetables at the local car booty or lay by... :L

Compared to nothing else as tbh I use the stuff from autosmart and their wheel acid if need be. The fact it's on tap helps. One of the valeters tried it and didn't rate it either. I have an unused bottle, if I can find a suitable box some one can have it.
just having a laugh mate... i'm skint seeing as i spent £7 on my botttle..... D: amazon fail
Not at all lad, is a valid idea!

Inferno 225 cup
Jaff of course mate, I'll be making a GB thread soon once I've worked out postage. Might actually work out cheaper than going to Tesco yourself!!
Nay worries, Andy! I'll by in touch
Nay worries, JB - noted your request on DW.
Aye sure do pal, the feet are facing the wrong way tho
Ah really? I have just refitted them after having a carpet put down... cheers!

Just come back from Asda and they're selling Wonder Wheels universal wheel cleaner for £2 a bottle now. Not sure how it compares to the Hot Wheels one but bought 4 bottles of it.

Says on the bottle it's the "U" version for Unique for wheels with special finishes whatever that's meant to mean!

So that's basically £8 down the drain then.... As all I'd use this stuff for is the clear your drains

Seems to have worked okay tbh.

Yes it will shift dirt but its not a "safe" choice.
you can clean dust off your tv screen with sand paper, doesn't mean its a good product!!!

Well it looks okay to me... I'm not particularly anal when it comes to cleaning/detailing cars. I'd rather be spending the time out enjoying driving the things...

Possibly the wrong section for you then Pal. I'll stop talking about cleaning products and leave you to go for a lap round town

Flol, touchy aren't we...
As for the product guess what, I used it as per the instructions and as if by magic the wheels were cleaner than before i started. Good enough for me and probably loads of other people...
I accept that you're saying it's not the best stuff for the job and once used I'll probably change to a different product but there's no need for you to come across as a tool...
Lol at not "safe" I suppose my wheels will disintegrate as I drive will they! And why the f**k would I go for a lap around town??:S Do you think I'm 17 or something?

Fella, I think the reaction is in response to your attitude. You've bought a product that the "anal" ones amongst us have suggested is not great, but rather than accept that you appear to be taking the Michael... Driven not detailed, works for me, wheels won't disintegrate...
This section is here to help and is based on experience (a lot in some cases). The product you've bought is similar to a product used to clean drains and patios. Now, if you feel it works, that's great. You've bagged a bargain as it's £9 in Halfords from memory. But leave it on too long and your wheels will look dull. Use it too often and eventually the lacquer will peel as the acid finds its way through weak points. So that £30ish saving for four bottles turns into a £250 wheel refurb. Much in the same way that my buying cheap long life oil for my car will lead to a blocked pickup pipe and thus an engine rebuild (to put it in "driven not detailed" terms
).

JD has pretty much said it all, however I have fingers and a computer so may as well comment.
With reference to the above statement you're clearly showing your lack of understanding with your misinterpretation of the word 'safe'. combining this with your 'im not anal' and 'i'd rather drive than waste time cleaning' comments I feel this proves this is the wrong section for you lad.
Oh and as for the lap round town comment, bit "touchy aren't we"
