This was 10,000 miles of zafira dust on a previous customers car.

Spray on, leave for 1 minute, pressure wash off.

Best stuff in the world! :)

(Lethal though, it eats through Tarmac! Lol)

Impressive stuff though. Is it used for industrial stuff mate?

Make it pink, make it smell of bubblegum, put it in a trendy bottle, sell it for 30 quid a go on detailingworld, sorted!

Brilliant results, I imagine once doing a good clean like that you could just keep on top of them with highly diluted acid.

It's serious s**t, this. Awesome stuff

Burns your skin if it gets on it.

I wouldn't want to be using it for too long/more than a couple of times a year.

Agreed, ideal for cleaning up a seller. Not so good for regular maintainance.
 
Any chance this sort of thing could damage the alloy?

Pitting or marring or anything like that?

Pretty impressive tbf.

Yes. It simply eats through the lacquer (if used too often) and even used once will find inconsistencies in the lacquer and expose them (read will peel and flake in certain areas).

Yes mate. It's designed to be recycled through the water part of the steam cleaner to descale it.

It's not something I'd use repeatedly on my own car. As someone said above, it's fine to use it once to really clean them up, then as long as you keep on top of them it's not needed again.

It works as an iron remover too. I had a silver transit in the week that had been driven with virtually no brake pads and it had metal filings all up the side of it. The acid bumped it all off no problem.
The only downside is, because I use it every day, it's slowly killing me I think. Time to order some masks!

Also will discolour brakes calipers and plastic wheel nut caps. Ideal for just punting out s**t c**t customer cars know doubt ;)

One other word of warning, a valet where i used to work had the protective layer of skin burnt clean off his eye balls with this, wind blew it in his face! wear mask and goggs for this shizle

I'm not quite sure what you're getting at with 's**t c**t customers' though. :S

Yep! Most mornings, he's usually in when I am.

That's my best mate lee. There's 3 of them that train there, lee is the small one, Tom is the one with the nasal voice and mark is about 6ft 6! Lol.

Lee is obsessed with fitness though, always in the gym or out running.
