    Had a thought today, I have some Muc Off just laying around from my bike riding days, reckon that would be any good to use up as pre rinse till I order some other stuff?

    Dont see why not pal. Only one way to find out. Personally I would dilute it first before application and take it from there

        Dont forget to take your confirmation email showing the reduced price. If they dont know what they are doing, ask them to contact their Head Office.

          Is it true that pressure washers can actually cause marks on vehicles, if they are high pressure?
          Read something recently that suggested high pressure washers, and those Petrol station type high pressure washers, can actually push dirt, grit and grime into the paintwork for a split second, and cause minor damage to the clearcoat?

          And no it wasn't last April 1st, but didn't check weather it was a bucket and wool mitt manufacturer sponsoring the article LOL
          Made me wanna stick to the mitt and 2 bucket method tho- or hose

              Thanks Andy. Hmmm. So there is a thought that pressure washers could cause damage
              But if you do it at a 45deg angle, yer OK?

              Bucket and Mitt for me LOL

              Of course we all know the best way to prevent damage to paintwork when cleaning- Don't clean it :-)

                Should be ok at 45 degrees, some actually just use a pw for a low pressure application of foam then rinse off with a hose.



                "Dont clean it"



                Are you mad? Even with your quoted tongue in cheek, that is a crazy thing to suggest lol

                  At least "Dont clean" doesnt harm the paintwork swirl wise?

                  Rather than 45 deg- cos i'll get it wrong- I'll stick to my Mitt
                  Unless i get a detailer to sort it, then will let then get on with it

                    This looks to be the best angle

                          Ah. That's the detailer referred to in post #53
                          Did have a word with her that flip flops weren't very H+S

                            Upon closer inspection, that belt is totally unsuitable aswell
