Best cleaner i have ever found

Isn't it a bit strong for paint work! Even at 30/1 mixture it will strain paint & trim if its left to dry out. It's main use is for cleaning the underside of vehicles.
I would use it for a detox before de-taring claying etc... But for me, this "truck wash" is too strong for weekly use.
What ratio are you using?

Very interesting Tim.

When we did our full LRE last month we had had quite a lot of rain previously, AM we used an Evoque & PM a RR Sport.

I commented on the large number of flies swarming around the car. Our instructor said he wanted to put the A/C on to keep it nice and cool inside the car, the point being made was on driver changes the car door was opened, as the flies were attracted to the heat of the car they would be less likely to come inside.

I'm no David Attenborough but it seems to make sense.

I'm used to coming home after a few months to find the car cocooned in spider's webs (it's all part of living in the countryside) but not to going out in the morning and finding clouds of bugs crawling over the car!

If you are having difficulty removing bugs then use a stronger mix of shampoo when washing the car and allow it to soak in before you rub at them. Snow foam would also be a good way to dissolve the bugs.

I have C2 treatment and also pre soaked the bugs with my regular shampoo and they came off no problem

It rained here last night and now many of the carcasses that were splattered across the from of my beauty are now lying on my drive slabs, no environmentally unfriendly sprays or effort required!
