Built Hamber is so satisfying to watch! I actually think it smells amazing too, call me weirdCleaned the car today nothing major just a shampoo with autoglym body conditioner, a light decon with some purple rain 3.0 iron fallout remover then a coating of meguiar's ceramic wax.
Used bilt hamber auto wheel cleaner for the first time today and wow, i haven’t been impressed with a cleaning product for a while now but this was brilliant. Spray on and let it dwell and it reacts just like iron fallout remover. Dipped my wheel brush in the leftover car shampoo and the wheel cleaner continued to foam up as I cleaned. Can’t believe I had it for a couple of years now and only just used it but it’ll be my go to from now on.

You just can’t beat bilt hamber. There was hardly anything left on there for a contact wash. The wheels didn’t even need a contact wash. Makes the winter clean very easy. Can’t believe I washed the car in a t shirt today, so mild.

Bah, I'm starting to see why windscreen glass sealants are pointless. Had zero juddering after first install, but a couple of weeks later I have juddering.

Sorry to go against the grain but I have never once seen Bilt Hamber go red/react to iron on wheels?
Edit: think I mixed like 4 posts together lol.

Apparently the windscreen wipers can make a big difference! Will give it a clean in the New Year when I'm back from France - I've got loads of new products to try.

I find their snow foam to be better on wheels than most other stuff I’ve tried.

Guys,
I did a quick dual-wash today (both cars at once
) to get rid of the majority of crap. I also noticed the weather seems to have stripped my car of any protection as there is zero beading so planned to whack some AG Rapid Ceramic on as it says you can use it wet. Unfortunately it must have been marginally too cold so the Rapid Ceramic went on... odd. The paint doesn't feel glass smooth and you can see wipe marks.
I'll buff it over with some quick detailer; any recommendations to go over this with something else? Need ma beads
