Welly's car cleaning collection expands...

[Welly]

Warning, if you get bored easily or have better things to do - look away now.

New bucket (20 litros), with lid and 'grit guard'...... Note to self: don't fill to brim and attempt to carry to car


The idea is that you slosh-in 10 ltrs of your water/shampoo and rub the wash mit over the guard occasionally when you 'dunk' and any heavy particles drop the the bottom and stay under the guard to save you rubbing grit over your car


Me shampoo (nice smell)..


Onto the wheels, some Bilberry non-acid cleaner (nice smell), mixes at 1:5 ratio with water


And a foaming spray gun for it..


And an EZ brush (designed in USA for motorcycles etc) these are the nads of the brush world (apparently)


Has it been snowing again?..


Whilst the snow foam drips away, foam up the wheels one at a time with the Bilberry..


Work the brush through, and rinse off with water


Wash the car as normal, it's nice not to have to do the wheels at the end.

Remember the grit guard? well look at all the stuff it caught......


Only kidding, but it did catch this stuff which seemed to be flies and that..


Anyone heard of this Sonax screen wash? It's brilliant! mix 50ml into 5ltrs of water....

Use an old screenwash bottle

The Sonax cost me £4.89 + 3.75 postage from Auto Best Buy Ltd and it's great stuff. It doesn't even leave a 'Snail Trail' down your side windows/roof like the usual stuff. Well recommended.

The clean 'rimz'


Thank you for looking.

What happened to the rest of the car?

What happened to the rest of the car?

I did a car washing thread back in December, this is a 'supplementary' thread

I've seen those sluice/sinks before.............in what we call a "recess"

The Bilberrys a good wheel cleaner - dont be surprised if the wheel brush breaks on the handle - ive broken two in the last 12 months.... got annoyed and refuse to buy another!!!

Snowfoams addictive as well dont you think? LOL

[Welly]

dont be surprised if the wheel brush breaks on the handle

I did wonder about the brush because it's designed to bend away at the handle to stop you damaging stuff and I wondered how many times I'd get away with bending it back again

They do Kleber washing up gloves here, almost indestructible. Shame about the tyres...
