Muck Off

[Rich 11]

Just to share my thoughts with you all regarding this product. I have been using the wax polish for the last 2 yrs. I have all the exspensive stuff , Swissol . Zymol etc but this always comes up trumps. My last 5 cars have been black ( which is the worst to keep clean ) and its easy o easy off . Being canuba based the shine is fantastic. My wife has a red 911 and that looks awasome when polished.

Not used it but I use Collinite 917
Not seen anything that comes close to beating it...yet including Swissol
Is this the stuff?

Hi

Any thoughts on the best method of cleaning my civic? I don't have access to a hose so can't use a home pressure washer and as live in top floor flat, trapsing up and down with buckets is totally inpractical.

Are there any pressure washers which have there own water tank?

Alternatively, is it best just to use a basic wash from the garage pressure cleaner and then wax when home?

Probably all stupid questions, but i am having real difficulty cleaning off all the bug marks at the mo.

This system is available:
Wash Matik 2 Car Cleaning System

You can see a video demo.

I've had no experience of this system, and you will still need one bucket of water. So, short of hanging a long hose with a 'stop' valve on the end, out of your window, you could get friendly with another car owner when you see him cleaning his car and get him to fill your bucket!

PS: You could get one of those garden sprayers that strap on your back to carry the water downstairs?

Haven't tried the car products, but I too can vouch for their bike cleaning stuff.

Yes, that price on QVC is for the complete kit including a window cleaner, not that you would need one of them in a top floor flat!

I believe a part kit with the main car brush is around £10, or so.

used a brush on my CTR last week, new jet wash @ our sainsburys, now have brush swirls in the paint ! Use a songe only, IMO.

Don't use sponge use a sheepskin mitt. Sponges hold grit, dry with microfiber cloths not chamois leather for the same reasons. Like the idea of the garden sprayer, handy for cleaning those awkward to get at places.
