Как да си мием колите [1] [на английски език]

[MaXimal]

Not seen the 1er so dirty - been really busy and had no time to wash it properly.

Anyway at a loose end yesterday due to arranging to be home for builders ( who never showed!)

I thought I'd give the BM a complete wash and share with you how you can remove lots of grime without actually touching the car! and therefore avoid inflicting more damage

Ok, so here's some grime shots of the disheveled 130i destroyer ( )





Anyway it was out with the gilmour.

I used the snow-foam in the bottle



And added some megs shampoo plus to aid lubricity



and set the gilmour to 1:128 parts mix (weakest)



First job as always is the wheels and arches so I used the schmitt wheel cleaner and various brushes



Then using the schmitt i took the main grime from the wheels and tyres



Following this the brush was used to agitate the awkward areas and free any stubborn specs



Then a microfiber work towel was used to slip into the spoked areas



Its worth noting that after my initial detail when i first got the car i sealed the wheels with PB WS and this now negates the need to use a dedicated cleaner! nice

The wheels easily came up good



Then onto the bodywork. in order to maintain my swirl free finish i wanted to removed as much grime as poss before making contact so as described up top the gilmour was used to spray over the car








following coverage the suds were left to dwell for five mins - just enough time for a coffee and a quick smoke



I then removed the gilmour bottle section and sprayed clean water over the car rinsing away the suds and grime. Considering I ve not actually touched the car yet its looking pretty clean already





anyway after this stage the regular wash routine was implemented and the vehicle dried off. What was obvious that the collinite was still beading away after a couple of months



thanks for reading, just thought i share how you can reduce risks of swirling further
