gurn Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 whats up with good old fairy liquid , a bucket , a spongeOk....... i'll tell yaWashing up liquid will remove all the protection you have on the paint (strips the wax and polish clean off)And using a sponge will only wipe the dirt across the face of the paint causing fine scratches and swirl marks.Using a proper car shampoo, thats wax safe, such as the Dodo juice you mentioned protects all the hard work you have done previously.And using a microfibre wash mitt or a sheeps wool mitt, helps trap the dirt IN the mitt, stopping it from scratching the paint....I'll go and sit in the corner with the other geeks now.......... pmsl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp77 Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 Would you not need any buckets of water to clean the wheels then? Along with a selection of cleaners, brushes, wheel dedicated mitt/woolie/cloths??I'd personally start with looking at the bloody thing whilst smoking a fag thinking can I really be arsed to do this?Haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
