Tye Dressing

Hi again, I remember reading a post someone wrote that AutoGlym Tyre Dressing or something like tat was brill for the alloys, jst wanna confirm cos my alloys gettin grummy and i like to have gud stuff to rid the dirt.

Yes it was me.

Wash the alloy thoroughly and then rinse. Whilst still wet spay the tyre dressing stuff on. Ignore the streaks and runs - truest me they will dry and disappear.

The alloy will now look BETTER than new. If they have got too grubby first use the Autoglym Wheel Cleaner.

Hope this helps

Expensive way to keep your alloys clean if you buy it from a shop. I have a trade account if you really want to use this stuff, email me for the pricelist with your address. Personally I just use a good old fashioned sponge and water with some Autoglym Shampoo Conditioner added to it. Then afterwards use Autosol to get the wheels really gleaming.

Goo dpoint, I forgot to mention shop prices are very expensive and I have posted on here before how to get a trade account for those that havent yet.

Ring autoglym HQ up and tell them you are wanting to start a valeting business and want the contact details for your local trade supplier.

They happily give the info out then.

Ring the local trade supplier and buy it at a fraction of the cost of shops. You may even be able to sell some to your work mates and makea few quid (delacred for tax of course

)

Having said that it did show me the most time efficient way to clean the car. Saves loads of time when there are 2 dirty CC's wanting attention

Rob,

Cleaning one CC is bad enough, i feel sorry for you having to do two.

With the roads the now, the car is as bad as ever the day after washing it.

yeah ur right there, i had dimond brite done to my car, and it sure does help they reckon u dont ned to polish it at all after washin wif tat special shampoo which sounds fine to me seems ok btu can i polish it if i wanted to? and if so wot u rekon i sud use? Will normal polish mess up the dimond brite im wondering?
also wen i run outta of this "special" shampoo doesn anyoen know where else i cud buy the same stuff?

Both of our cars have been supagarded (same sort of stuff)

The guy who did it said not to polish it as it takes the stuff off. I have polished mine now its going and I will let you know if there is a difference between mine and Melanies.

As for shampoo, I would suggest Autoglym shampoo conditioner. It does a very similar job to the stuff they supply with the treatments. Its not cheap, but if you read my other postings you will find out how to get it lots cheaper. If you buy 5ltrs at a time it works out cheaper than the cheapo stuff at Wilkinsons..

oh thanks alot, I was so tempted to polishing it as i always do, but if tat means takin the stuff off NO WAY am i gonna do tat!

Yeah again thanks for the posting about the autogly stuff, I have the prices for the 5 litre bottles, gonan save me some serious dosh! Cheers!
