Removing proper dirt/crud/tar/concrete?

[Sir_Dave]

Essentially the Trophy hasnt been cleaned in about 6 months, & last time, the only way we could get rid of the ground in dirt was by using a toilet brush. Needless to say, i only did that on the door sills, not the rest of the car, which is why it still feels as rough as a badgers ar5e.

Personally, i think i need to remove this caked on dirt before i can even consider claying it, but what on earth can i use?

I need something to quite literally dissolve a mm thick layer of muck - a pressure washer/sponger/wash mit wont remove it lol.

How about a steam cleaner? Don't know what it will do to your paint though!!

Tardis and ironx.

Snowfoam/TFR.

I'd probably: APC through a snowfoam lance. Shampoo through the lance. Pressure-wash the lot off. Wash with some decent shampoo/mitt. Tardis/Iron-x then clay... then correct/seal as you wish.

Lovely, well ive already got some Tardis from when i removed the tints on the M3, so just purchased some Ironx to go with it.

Yep Tardis is great you can actually watch it "melting" the tar on your arches etc..

A heavy duty all purpose cleaner or traffic film remover applied through a pressure washer and left to dwell without drying would be a good start. Have a look for megs apc or G101 as they are favoured I believe

Wash down with a strong dilution wash mix then start with the tardis and iron x. Maybe look at the wolf's iron remover as that can be left a lot longer

This would be a great test for the New nano towel on detailing world that everyone's talking about

G101 mixed 1:1 should do it, then as said.. tar/iron removers

TFR, left to dwell. High ratio'd all pupose cleaner like G101 in a snow foam, left to dwell. Pressure wash off after each, then Tardis, then Iron-X, then another snow foam with G101.

I'd actually be happy to help. For a beer.
