[Giller]

Surprising that you ever see the car if you work methodically from the top left

Oh thanks for reminding me, need more Smirnoff

The Lotus water repelling glass cleaner is excellent.

Don't knock it till you tried it, sounds corny but it works…..


Fallout remover is a specialized, pH-neutral detailing chemical designed to dissolve embedded iron particles, brake dust, and industrial pollution from automotive paint, wheels, and glass. It acts as a deep-cleaning decontamination step, changing color to purple upon contact with contaminants for easy, spray-on/rinse-off removal

Similar to Autoglym Magma. The stuff I use. Tis very good. Looks like you cars, bleeding after you use this stuff.

Partial to a bit of beading. Oh wait bleeding

Yep, particularly on White cars. Not used it on the X Power, yet. Will have to remedy that.

Eejit, but true

I regard my dirt and grime layers as similar to a ceramic coating.

Anyone else clean under the bonnet when they give their cars a wash?

Or is it just me?

Yes I do, and inside the door and boot openings, and around the door edges.

It's funny you mention this, the Mrs saw me cleaning under the bonnet the other day and she said, I wonder how many other people do that, I said probably not many.

You're welcome
They work well with Temu and Ali xprs copy batteries

I would be very careful with that! Most of those batteries have very poor to no protection against overcharging! I've disassembled a couple of them, and the charging circuitry and protection is highly questionable, to put it mildly!
I would strongly advice to never charge them unattended, or even better, DON'T BUY THEM!

Occasionally- but only ‘cos it’s so much easier than when you had an ice motor on display under there.

 

[Gomev]

I'm not sure if you can open the bonnet on mine to do that.
