hi chaps.
got a new car and the alloys are pretty dirty. Looks like i will need to take the wheels off and get right in there. Could you guys recommend me an alloy cleaner? many thanks
Bilt hamber auto wheels will bring them up like new.
thanks will check it out. Would you recommend i take off the wheels or would this stuff be strong enough to clean deep?
Well i can definitely now agree with those of you saying using snow foam isn't a lazy mans fix
Also struggled with the snow foam lance at first and it was just running off. I assumed the +/- would be the amount of foam so had it turned all the way to the plus. However after a bit of messing i turned it all the way to the minus and got a decent thick foam.
I quite enjoyed it though so i think the next bank holiday i'll buy a few buckets and things and do the job properly.

Anyone here used Gyeon can coat? I've been trying to use this on the Mark X with varied success. It seems to flash off almost immediately after application, I mean you don't really even have 2 seconds to buff it off. As a result I'm finding it extremely difficult to get a good even coat on large panels like the bonnet. In fact it went so streaky and horrible that I had to mop it again to get the mess off and then used a carnuba wax on that panel.
The panels with successful application though and a totally different league in terms of the hydrophobic-ness and it makes the carnuba look pants.
I did have a hard time buffing the polish residue off the bonnet to begin with though, the clearcoat was in a bad way prior to machining it. Maybe the clearcoat has some kind of permanent sun damage?
Typically if the paint is fussy with application its best to dilute the product a bit with distilled water or similar.
