Thanks. Reason I didn’t get buy any in the end is I remembered I’d got another whole bottle of BH Atom-Mac (last time I ordered, I accidentally added got 2 bottles instead of 1) so that does the job on rusty discs.

Booth11 Posted May 5 Report Share Posted May 5 A few bits from Carbon Collective today. I wanted some of their heavy duty textured nitrile gloves so of course it was rude not to get a few other things to make the delivery charge worth it. 🤣 Thought I’d give their Luxe microfibres a go and also a an MF wheel brush (have a few wheel woolies) but fallen a bit out of love with them for the mk8R. Always room for another shampoo so green t they’re PH neural Lusso. Free air freshener. AHG and Clarkie48 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it’s too big for the gap. I’ve got smaller size wheel woolies that fit that. This one I’ve bought for the accessible barrel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AHG Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 I nearly bought those but wasn’t sure about quality So you recommend them ? (mine are Jerez 18’s, so easier but more surface area) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you care that is. 😂 I’ve streamlined it it down to 1 lambswool wheel pad (for wheel face and spokes), 2 long handled brushes (a big one for 3/4 of the barrel; a second slimmer one for the elusive barrel section adjacent to calipers) and a hogs hair 1” brush (for bolt cover caps, behind where spoke meets inner groove, and around tyre valve). I think I’ve done well to get it that low. 🤣 The rears much less demanding. All that lovely barrel space! Joy! 😁 AHG 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always splash some ONR in your wheel bucket and that takes care of it👍 AHG 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Posted May 26 Report Share Posted May 26 Having read the gazillion odd pages of awesome insight and info on DI filters by @Booth11 here …. I caved and joined the club 😬 (Altho an unbranded unit) Went for 11ltr and pre-filled with Tulsion (?) MB-115. Delivered for under £100 it was a no brainier. Also received my TDS meter from Amazon but have no pic. Happy Badger 😃 Just need to get a few hours over the weekend to give it a run 💪🏼 Booth11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
