Green Star is easily one of the best products on the market. Koch make some great products.

The other thing is, it's actually really cost effective.

I suppose, more like surfex actually. Great as a pre spray also. Great on engine bays also.

Watched the test on green star vs surfex hd. The valet pro pre wash is something else I've fancied trying.

I cant imagine there is much between all of them. I like Valetpro as it smells like cheap orange squash. Im using it in the pump sprayer you reccomended and it works really well.

I use Autosmart Prestige mixed at 1:10

It removes pretty much all traffic grime for me.

Tried Autobrite's citrus pre wash and it just wasn't as good.

Chemical Guys Stripper Scent or Signature Scent as it's now called.... Oh how I've missed the smell 🥰

Not had a bottle for a year or so. The last one I replaced with their bubble gum one which is alright but gets a bit sickly if you're not too careful with how much you spray.

Lower part of my car, never beads as well.
I always spray it with Sealant etc. Is that just because it's exposed more to the road grime etc?

Iodetail prices seem OK.

What are people using for.

Shampoo and tyre dressing

CarPro Reset shampoo.

Carbon Collective Sateen for dressing, dries quick so no sling.

Tried Gyeon Tyre, takes too long to dry for me so you still get sling. They recommend heating it with a hairdryer or heatgun but that's too much messing around.

It can also still be there but under the dirt. Sometimes a windy day can cover the car in crap and it doesn't bead etc. Once washed properly it sometimes comes back.

Also depends what you sealed it with. 👍🏻

These spray bottles are quality!

Double action spray so it sprays when you pull the trigger and then again when you release.

Has a weighted pickup pipe too so will still spray when running low and spraying on an angle.

I feel like I should buy some but what would I put in there?

Anything haha

I have a lot of bulk stuff which I dilute down.

Maybe something you'd spray a lot of, as it's handy having the double action spray to cover a large area quickly.

Nothing cleans as good as Autofoam though


I'm gonna try Koch GSF out though, Matt from obsessed garage was using it on his M3 wash and talk video the other day [emoji28]

Valet pro is decent too. Auto foam cleans great, just a bit boring.

In fact will use the remainder of my snow foam over the weekend.

I’ve tried loads of tyre dressing.

Give Angel Wax Enigma a whirl. Water based so no sling, lasts a fair while and is easy to apply.

Regarding shampoo, Tac Systems is hard to beat. Well priced and very very slick. Smells great too.

I like Angel Wax’s bliss spray air fresher.

Carpro perl diluted down is a brilliant tyre dressing.
I still use this. I bought infinity wax tyre coat recently for work. Pink one. It’s water based and leaves that satin matte finish which a lot of folk like.

still Perl gives a great finish and protects.
I also love the look of cc sateen. Always looks a perfect finish.

I've used CC platinum on my wheels and it was pretty good.
Infinity Wax have quite a following on Social Media.

Noone ever agrees on a tyre dressing 😂, in all fairness best I have used was on old bottle of Chemical Guys New Look Trim Gel.
