Those were the good old days of racing!
F1 cars were pushing over 1000hp from 1500cc without traction control!
Insane power, very little interference (electronic driver aids, etc)
Would like to try Citrus Power as it's winter here in Oz & the lower sections of my cars get caked in filth.
Have heard this product is a good alternative to foaming which would be great... I love...
Great job!
Had a very similar interior job on a new (to me) work-ute not long ago.
Unfortunately didn't grab as many pics as you...
Anyway it's bloody hard work, especially some of those tighter...
That's the attitude mate!
When I wanted to start my apprenticeship as a motor mechanic I done the same thing, visiting all the high-performance shops & offering 2 weeks free labour for a chance to...
KillaCam, SD is a perfect tyre cleaner @ 4:1 & once you have it you will find other uses for it (great for oil stains on concrete...)
Destroys APC @ 4:1...
Have you tried a strong cleaner (undiluted APC, Tufshine, degreaser) & a stiff brush until you get clean white foam?
Should fix the problem although it's only ever temporary.
I don't always rinse before foaming (although it doesn't hurt) but I always rinse after foaming, before bucket washing the car.
My reasoning is I am using the foam to loosen & soften any stubborn...
Have used the orange hand-pad to remove a small area of paint transfer & it worked great. I wouldn't like to polish a whole car with them but I wouldn't want to polish a car by hand full stop......
Good choice. If the DA won't cut it you could always pick up a $60 rotary from SCA. More dangerous for your paint than a DA but a lot safer than sanding...
You may get better results using the wool...
Just FYI, there is a member on here, Mr Megane(?), who I think is a legit chemist. If you're not 100% confident what to use as a cutting agent it may be worth asking for an opinion...
Yeah, after Leatherique products my 19 year old BMW leather has a nice natural finish & feel to it that I didn't get with other (admittedly cheaper) products...
Exactly my thoughts. I felt like it wasn't penetrating the gunk at all & was just sitting on the surface.
As mentioned I felt like my brush was just sliding on a layer of APC, not actually reaching...
Yes. Chances are they are not as clean as you think...
Has the car been driven? & even though the tyres were new did you clean them before applying Optibond?
davidc, I haven't used 601/105 but I wouldn't worry about 845 not coping with the heat.
It was actually originally designed for high heat industrial applications
First thing I would look at is cabin filter.
Owning from new you probably have the car serviced at the dealership due to warranty? If so a simple phone call & they should be able to tell you if/when...
Adding ONR to a normal shampoo mixture can reduce suds.
I've only added an oz but I suppose if you added a couple you may be able to kill all the suds?
