Ah ok I'll get it then end up getting a product free compared to buying what I was going to get from clean your car just with the 15%

The packaging just threw me

Is the bilberry stuff good? And I guess it's better value than autoglym/meguiars due to the need to dilute it?

The missus' focus has multispoke alloys and they are a complete twat to clean, so this would make the job a lot easier and not cost as much.

It's brilliant. Goes a long way at the recommended dilution ratio, or you can use it neat for really grubby wheels.

Auto Finesse Imperial is also worth a look if you're in the market for a decent wheel cleaner.

I usually use Bilberry first, and if that hasn't done the trick bust out the Auto Finesse.

As with all wheel cleaners, don't leave it on for more than a few minutes, especially if it's warm, as they can spoil the finish.

I use the Valet Pro Bilberry wheel cleaner at 1:3 and 1:10 dilution depending on how dirty the wheels are. In most cases the 1:10 will do a decent job, but if they're particularly dirty then 1:3 and some decent brush action usually works well.

Of course you can play with the dilutions and find what works best for you. I always brush it a bit though, but if it's not got too much brake dust on there then you can spray some 1:10 on, give the spokes a quick wipe with a detailing brush, and then you just need to rinse and dry.

Will the Bilberry strip wax? Got some CB Wheel Wax coming and was going to use this when it was bad, but hopefully with the wax it will be easier to clean but if I do use it will it strip it all off

You need to come and machine polish the Z4. Noticed the other day in the sunlight how swirly the paintwork is

Well some of the stuff has arrived, very impressed with them. Speedy delivery and great communication even through in some cards and haribo

Some boring pictures for you

just need some applicator pads and my car back then I can try it all

Quite impressed with the deep pile microfibres to, they chucked in some normal yellow ones to which I can use for the alloys. So all in great company to deal with

It will, but if you use it in a weak dilution like 1:10 then it shouldn't be too harsh on it. It probably won't last quite as long as it should though. Make sure you put a couple of layers on to help it last longer

Yeah was going to put a few layers on, it was between the Chemical Guys & the Poor Boys but this is meant to last a bit longer so we'll see

Cool, I use Poorboy's so not sure what the Chemical Guys stuff is like. I'm sure it'll be good though

Correcting a BMW with a DA - sounds like a fun day

buy a rotary

some guy had to do 16 passes with a DA to get a decent level of correction on a Z4

those light blue clothes get clogged up with polish/wax residue quite easily. they feel nice, but i only used them once then went back to microfibre cloths.
