Roshan, wondering if you have ever tried Megs Super Degreaser for comparison? My go to tyre cleaner @ 4:1... I did try D101 @ 4:1 but found it felt a bit "slimy" under the brush & I felt like the brush was just slipping on the surface of the tyre.

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 it has been changed. If it hasn't or it's been a while that could be all it is. These things...

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? Or as suggested use a rinseless...

Have had Megs APC & Super Degreaser for maybe 18 months & no problems so far. But you're saying these are years old so it could happen... I really hope not as my storage cupboard is inside over floating floorboards & I think either of these products on the floor at full-strength would ruin it...

I was actually told about this by a member just recently (statusdetailing) & experienced it myself over the weekend. Was this on smooth plastic or textured vinyl/plastic? I just bought a very cheap ute for a workhorse & it was FILTHY! Ex tradesmans car & EVERYTHING was sticky & dirty. I cleaned...

I have had industrial Aluminium Brightener in a Canyon chem-resist sprayer for well over a year & have had no problems so far. Obviously, as stated by Mr Megane, chem-resistant is a fairly generic term & in reality not all things are equal... Also as stated these cleaners are really bad for...

This would obviously have to be while the leather is removed from the foam & would have to be left until it is no longer greasy or oily. If some of the leather conditioners worked as well as they claim, soaking into the leather, any excess that the leather couldn't soak up quick enough would...

Looks good to me, very professional. As others have said some colour wouldn't go astray but even as is I would be quite happy. Sometimes you can go too far the other way & things start to look cheap & garish. It can be tricky to find the sweet spot between professionalism & showmanship. If I...

+1, although Leatherique say that PC leaves some protection behind, it's main role is to clean the RO from the surface. After this PC can be used as a maintenance cleaner. Also I think you would find it quite hard to remove RO without PC as it becomes quite thick & sticky. When I used it I let...

Thought about doing that to my car with Leatherique rejuvenator oil but haven't got around to it yet. Seems like a good idea to me...

Good to know, thanks

This may not be your problem but what I see most people do is hook the water up, turn the machine on & try to start spraying instantly. At this stage there is little to no water in the unit & it runs dry for a bit, sputtering, etc until it primes. It's not much but over time it can't be good for...

Would love to see someone try Megs Super Degreaser against TufShine & some of the other cleaners, like Adams. Best I've used for tyres although, admittedly, I haven't used much... Tried Megs APC & that was terrible in comparison. The brush just felt slippery on the tyre & there was no brown...

Can you give more info on your problems with Megs APC, even if it's via PM (don't want to hijack your thread...) Just find it interesting you had problems with SD & APC but not APC+ which, I'm fairly certain, actually has degreaser in it... Anyway I'm an APC user myself & just interested in what...

Have to agree, they are good but a royal pain to roll up. I'm now looking at an industrial rubber hose from a local supplier which should be kink resistant & not want to roll up in coils like this plastic one does. Take your fittings to a local industrial hose shop (not sure if you guys have...

Never had a problem with Karcher. Had the base K2.080 for years & it's still going now. Now have the K5.650 (which is very similar to the 5.740) & have had no problems. It can be a little top-heavy so you need to take care when pulling hose off the reel but that's about it... Otherwise they're...

Ultima Paint Guard Wash. Buy the gallon, you won't be disappointed...
