Will do.👍🏻

 

It was a choice between this and Koch Chemie Magic Wheel Cleaner,but as this has rust inhibitors it might help stop the discs going brown when washing.We shall see if it works.


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.

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.

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.

😂  Yes Gary, the front Estorils are a demanding wheel for detailing!  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!  😁

I think it’s joy full stop. And then dressed tyres. Ahhhhh lovely. Sometimes I just whip em off to pamper them. 👌

Yes!  Dressed tyres always.  It’s a detailing crime to wash a car and leave the tyres unloved!

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)

Jerez 18s are easy clean. They are as good as the more expensive equivalents I also have imho. Always splash some ONR in your wheel bucket and that takes care of it👍

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 💪🏼
