Day 9, cars started to get dirty but beading is still looking pretty good.

Would def recommend not putting the Hydro on the windscreen, effects the wipers!

So this wheel cleaner doesn't need any scrubbing? Just spray it on and leave it for a while. The jet wash off.

Seems too easy Especially how much these damn wheels clog up with shite.

I've driven an F11 520d for the past 3 years and 70,000 miles and not cleaned it myself ONCE. Before that a mile cruncher E90 well pimped with full MP Kit, 2x R32's, 2x E46 M3's and others that I obsessed over like a nutter. Spending hours outside at weekends.

But the F11 was shoved through the local hand job place everyweekend without a second thought.

Now I have the F31 335d xDrive, I'm digging all of my kit back out of the garage and firing up the Snow Foam lance once more!!!!

Funny what the right kind of car will do to you. I feel bonded again to a car that is awesome to drive.

So, YES, I'm washing this weekend!!!!!

How good is Bilthamber Auto Wheel? Does it remove brake dust and tar spots easily without any or much effort?
I used to use Wonder Wheels a long time ago and I found that extremely good, even though some people wouldn't use it due to it being very acidic.
I'm currently using the last recommendation from Auto Express, but it's pretty crap tbh.

If the Bilthamber is as good as they say, then I may give that a go.

Cheers

I've used it once and it was amazing! Wouldn't quite say it took everything off touchless, although car had been unwashed.

My only very minor issue is I used up a lot of the contents so could be quite expensive if used every wash.

Yeah I would probably use it every other wash. I guess I'll add it to the list of things to get 👍
