Whichever has fuel
I’ve used this on a car once, worked really really well. Also, if you can, hot water.

I’m using Gyoen Tar, it’s not just spots here and there it’s like a thick layer of it. I’ve gotten most of it off it’s just the stubern left overs. It’s mainly the roof and spoiler that’s left

Thanks I will take a look at that. Been a very long time since I’ve been on eBay lol. Did you just leave it to dwel for a few mins and wipe off or did it just need a pressure washer to get rid of it

Car was dry and cold, out of direct sunlight, sprayed it on, left to sit for 2/3 mins, then washed the panels with a bucket of hot water and a microfibre cloth. (They’re more grabby than wash mitts - that was my justification)

Good shout. It’s been a while since I’ve used that. I’ll order some.

We had a couple of young lads from our estate offer to wash our cars this summer . Had to politely refuse due to them rocking up with washing up liquid like the above. Still gave them a few quid for offering though.

same here. Couple of lads knocking on doors asking if they can wash your car.
Someone posted a photo of them doing their car on the local FB group praising them for their initiative. The photo showed them mid wash with their drying towels and sponges on the floor next to the car
Got to start somewhere I suppose.

"Excuse me son, do you have public liability insurance?"
We had that this summer on our estate, one of the local valeters caught wind of it and reached out to them giving them some supplies (two buckets with grit guards, shampoo, wheel cleaner, glass cleaner cloths etc) and gave them a lesson on how to clean the cars safely and set them on their way.
Was better than them turning up with a washing up bowl full of pond water and green scouring sponges from their mum's kitchen asking if they can clean my car 😂

Same round ours. This lad and his mate have been washing them most weekends. There are a couple of detailers on the estate who have gone round and helped them out a few times and recommended them some products to use.
I wouldn’t let them anywhere near mine but it can’t be any worse than the s**t the local hand car washes do
Dat bowl cut doe

I cleaned the engine bay on my mums car with a bottle of gunk and a hosepipe. Got rid of soooo much grime. This was when chemicals were proper chemicals!!
My mum then convinced two of her friends to have their engines done and being 12/13 years old I had no idea what I was doing. Both cars were never seen again though. Well, once they’d kangaroo’d off down the lane on 3 cylinders. 😳😂😂😂

Not something g you want to do frequently on a plastic window. They scratch/haze so easily. Much better to avoid that if possible.
Doesn't help a foggy rear screen on a renowned leaky car!
Hang on, didn't you drive yours into a river recently?
Must be due to less heat generated by the missing cylinders.
Why do you need a lawnmower, haven't you got a moat?

How easy is it to apply and buff off?
I recently went back to G technic windscreen treatment, hadnt used it in years. what a pain in the ass to buff off. Wont be using that again. Rain-x on the other car was nice and easy in comparison.
I just want a nice and easy product.

Worth noting there's two types of Glaco.
Glaco DX which is comparable to RainX and Gyeon Quickview, maybe up to 6 months durability.
Ultra Glaco is a bit more fussy as you're meant to keep the car dry overnight, around a year durability.
