Yeah it's fine now

 

[Sir Nancy Flowers]

Anyone tried the Graphine spray from the IW mystery box? Tried it last night over Project X and it was a total b*****d to remove. Left it on for 3 mins absolute max

 

[imprezaworks]

Yep all good here

 

[Sir Nancy Flowers]

No buffing issues? Maybe I did leave it too long...Also struggled with the Synergy Lite and getting that off. Was a b**ch

 

[imprezaworks]

Not really mate. I didn't let it sit though. Sane with garage therapy. It says to leave it and I don't

 

[Sir Nancy Flowers]

Must be where im going wrong then. Might try it again later on the wings and see if a quick on and off approach works. Cheers

 

[Gally]

I just wipe on wipe off. Usually spray onto the MF then wipe off with a dry.

is this for the Lite or the Graphene spray? Or both 🤣

 

[imprezaworks]

Don't think I've ever let any spray qd etc sit for a time.

From what i've seen of Synergy Lite, it looks really easy wipe on in crosshatch pattern and then remove with a short pile cloth.

Ordered some myself to try.

Thats what I did. applied it like any other ceramic coating but I found removal to be a bit touch and go. Thinking I left it too long tbh

They say it can be left up to 15 mins, but i wouldn't be chancing that tbh 😅

speaking from experience, do NOT do this 🤣

Did this on my brothers white ST.....He doesnt care tbh but I had to remove it with a damp mf

 

[Gally]

Nah f**k that!

 

[Sir Nancy Flowers]

Nah f**k that!

Literally my thoughts as I was buffing and it didnt go anywhere......🤡

I’d asked a few weeks back about baked on brake dust and finally got round to ordering the eBay acid people recommended.

Thus was them after being washed normally:

And after one blast of acid cleaner:

The difference is unreal! That was a quick effort using a paint brush. There’s still a couple of tiny spots but they should come off with another application and a decent wheel brush. I might have to take them off and do them properly now.

 

[imprezaworks]

Which one did you buy. The one I got was rubbish.

 

[Sir Nancy Flowers]

holy s**t thats some transformation. Wish I had known about this on my old clio wheels. Went through 3 litres of fallout remover trying to get them back. f**king gloss black....

 

[Karlos182]

Any links for the eBay wheel acid cleaner?

Got this one

It’s nasty s**t though. Dropped some on the carpet and it’s burnt straight through 🙈

 

[Sir Nancy Flowers]

thats polyprop carpet for ya!

 

[imprezaworks]

Looked at that one and bought this

 

[Gally]

Remember and glove and mask up with that s**t gents. It's not doing that kinda of damage by accident.

and 100% goggles or glasses too. You're one wind gust away from a glass eye with that s**t

 

[imprezaworks]

Some of sprinkled on face when the wind got involved. Felt like I'd fallen in nettles lol

 

[imprezaworks]

Bought some of that house of shine stuff. £16 for 5litres delivered. Bargain?!. Need some for work.

I second that. I diluted it 40/60 with water and even then the fumes were bad. You’d end up being able to smell colours without a mask on. Also learnt very very quickly that gloves are needed too 🔥😂

 

[imprezaworks]

On I bought was very watery and a but crap. I use smart wheels for normal stuff.

Not sure if I have mentioned but this is the best glass cleaner hands down and it's seriously cheap.

I know it's perfect as I clean my bathroom mirror in it and not a streak anywhere!!


Their mould remover is magic for grouting too, dissolves all the black stuff instantly.

 

[imprezaworks]

Do use the car chem one which I find decent. But we like trying new things ha ha

Best snow foam out there atm? Been using AF for a while and doesn’t seem to have any actual cleaning power.

 

[imprezaworks]

Bilt hamber. Will he trying 8 below later and see what that is like.

I use nilglass after seeing it recommended on detailing world a while back and really rate that and it's even cheaper afaik. Better than the Gtechniq stuff I had beforehand too which was probably triple the price.

 

[imprezaworks]

8 Below seems decent. Would buy again and doesn't seem to degrade protection

 

[Sir Nancy Flowers]

im torn on snowfoams atm. BH used to be perfect for me but it absolutely destroyed my expensive Polish Angel LSP (acrylic based). Now I tend to use whatever is PH neutral.

 

[Hxrry]

If anyone needs seriously strong wheel acid, drop me a DM and I'll try my best to help out. It's too strong to list on the website as I cba with all the rules I'd need to follow seeing as it's so strong. Will clean anything, just don't breath it in It just dissolves dirt as you can see... It's a yellow fallout remover
