Ok in this weather what temps do you all wash etc in...
Hopeing it ok tomo

 

[Scrooge]

I've washed cars in minus temps. It's fine.

 

[Yellow Dave]

At lunchtime today the sun was enough to dry the rear of the car before I'd finished.

As long as the water doesn't freeze you'll be fine.

 

[Coby.]

The only issue I have with this weather is drying becomes a right ballache unless the sun is shining bright.

 

[JD]

Qd spritz helps, Andy. And yeah, Caz, same as Scrooge - minus numbers (snow foam frozen photos!).

 

[Coby.]

It's all the water that gets caught in all the creases... In the summer I dry and leave it for a while to evaporate but in the winter that doesn't happen

Always give it a spritz of QD nowadays.

 

[JD]

Cheap pet dryer? Would solve it but probs a tad ott (or is that OCD?!?).

 

[Coby.]

If I take it to the next level and buy a machine and bits I probably would buy a cheap blower.

 

[Pearce]

Can anyone suggest a Hoover for inside the car I want something small an compact.
cant use the one in the house missus goes sick an suggestions ?

 

[Inequality Street]

I cant. Bring myself to go out and do the car too cold. Need to man up.

Citrus power
Iron out and obitarate to shift it...

Damn, didn't try that...

I really don't know what the caked in stuff is...
At a guess a combination of petrol and cr@p....

 

[Jaff.]

G101 would make easy work of that

 

[Inequality Street]

Why did you use an iron remover? The likes of Iron X isn't intended to be a cleaner as such.

 

[Mr R.]

Cause shes a woman.

 

[littlemissnaughty]

Cause shes a woman.

[littlemissnaughty]

But not all.

Any suggestions for a good glass cleaner?

 

[Mr R.]

G101 is very good, will sort your problems.

 

[littlemissnaughty]

Hope so, the dirt/marks will be in my dreams tonight...

 

[Mr R.]

I have big problems dreaming about stuff that i want to do/sort.

Drives me mental.

 

[Scrooge]

Use eraser for glass, I find most dedicated glass cleaners are a pain to leave a smear free finish.

 

[Gally]

Couldn't agree more. Ipa all the time for me! Tried so so many cleaners.

 

[Scrooge]

I'm using crystal atm as I've run right low on eraser. It takes twice as long

 

[littlemissnaughty]

I'm using crystal, find it ok, but my friend went over it with rain x and then showed me the cloth.... ( I was disheartened about crystal )....

 

[Scrooge]

RainX can f**k off as well tbh. Get gtechniq on there

 

[Yellow Dave]

I tried eraser on the inside glass to remove all the dog nose smears and it was rubbish. Not tried it on outside yet

 

[Scrooge]

I've never had to deal with dog smears lol baby smears though

 

[Pearce]

Anyone used a metro vac an blo 500 if so what do you think of them ?

 

[Cliotoby]

Never had any problems with crystal. Infact I swear by it.

[Mr R.]

Cheers mate, just placed an order.

 

[Jay.S]

Is HydrO2 anygood? Thinking of putting a order in as I need IronX I'm also going to give TarX a go

 

[JD]

Cheers Yellow Dave

 

[Mr R.]

What glass sealant chaps?

Do i get the Carpro FlyBy 30 or the Gtechniq G1 (CYC have none in stock) which seems to be a bit of messing to apply?

Its to be used on my van as that is my day to day.

 

[Yellow Dave]

G1 is far superior to flyby30 IMO. It's pretty easy to apply and remove as well.

I like the performance and idea behind hydr02, but f@ck the cost of it

 

[Jay.S]

Cheers I'll stick to Eraser, IronX & TarX then.
