Tank Slap - Motorcycle Forum

Here's some useful information for you.. Autoglym Polar Blast (a 'ph Neutral' and 'safe for waxes' snow foam) is better at pre-washing than Chemical Guys Clean Slate which is supposedly a strip wash.

While Clean Slate isn't designed to foam, it still did a good job of it in my cheap foam cannon. I left it to dwell for as long as I dared before it dried. It barely removed any dirt which was disappointing as I used it at maximum concentration. I still had to do a contact wash. It wouldn't even remove the bird poo which was fresh that morning. I don't think it removed a single bug. It also didn't hinder the beading or sheeting from Autoglym Polar Seal applied last week.
I was a little surprised by this as it did a very good job on the old protection on the bike. Once again I used Chemical Guys Glossworkz for the contact wash, it's a shame it's expensive as I really like using it. Many a bug had 'Lemminged' its way onto my windscreen which the contact wash hadn't removed so I used my Koch Chemie Speed Glass Cleaner for the first time. It smells exactly like Meguiar's Quick Detailer and unlike household glass cleaner this is a creamy substance. It's cleaning ability is incredible, removing all the bugs in 1 application and buffing off to be perfect with a 2nd microfibre. 1 spray per side window and 2 sprays for the front and rear, this bottle is going to last me a long time!
The rear window was covered in dog nose prints and some water spotting. Finally, my last delivery for the next major clean arrived and I can't wait to try it!

fook me this must be costing you a fortune

He's an addict to cleaning products

Haha, a standard wash costs me less than £2 a time.. that's how I choose to look at it haha.

As many of the products I can buy in concentrate form I do then I try them at their weakest and only increase it if it needs more. A lot of the stuff I have I'll never get through and they're the smallest bottle size you can buy.

Those spray bottles are £2 each by the way, not expensive.

Addicts always have to justify their addiction to others just saying

You aren't wrong!

It's really helped me recently, being able to do something useful that I find therapeutic. This and picking up the DSLR again

My car is covered in yellow dust this morning and its gaining cobwebs from not being used.

Anyone want to clean it for me?

I had the hose out yesterday (phnar) so I gave both cars a quick rinse to get the surface dust of them. They both need a good clean but I can't see the point if they're not being used.

While they're not being used it's the perfect time to strip them back and apply new protection as it will get time to dwell properly.

In all fairness, a quick clean and application of Gyeon Wet Coat would give your car a few months of self-cleaning ability. I think it's about £12 for a bottle which would do 6 cars/washes. Sounds like it'll last you 2 years so it's a bargain.

But you have an extended summer holiday...

Dam right kwacky some lightweights have time to wash their cars daily

@Cav which shampoo did you say

and then bragging about it online

"oh look at how much spare time I've got, I've just done a 7 hour car wash"

These feckers need to be dragged off to farms to pick fruit.

Picking fruit does nt pay enough to buy all the products though

How much is a sponge and a bottle of fairy washing up liquid?
