    A6 C6 Meets Poorboys Blackhole + Natty's Blue paste wax

    Thanks Robbie - I don't get the funny looks anymore as its standard stuff. I remember I did once a while ago though........I'd started to wash the car and was about halfway through when it started to rain, lightly at first, then quite heavily. I got more than a few funny looks as I stayed out...

    The BEST wheel cleaner around?

    Link to Sonax... Sonax Xtreme Full Effect Wheel Cleaner | eBay As for sealant? Your choice, I don't bother personally as the road grime / brake dust etc doesn't sit there long enough for me to worry about. I've heard some people using wax such as they use for the car, although there are...

    A6 C6 Meets Poorboys Blackhole + Natty's Blue paste wax

    Hi there, Nattys Blue was fine ( smells great too just like PB Blackhole ) It was easy on and fairly easy off as far as I was concerned. You can see from the pics it was a little overcast, but make no mistake it was like 22c and very humid. To be honest, I wouldn't want to be leaving it on the...

    A6 C6 Meets Poorboys Blackhole + Natty's Blue paste wax

    Had a chance to give the old girl a going over this morning.......then cleaned the car...lol Seriously though.....I managed to spend a few hours and got her washed / dried etc, inside hoovered / dusted etc, then broke out the Poorboys blackhole + Natty's blue paste wax. I wouldn't say I'm a...

    The BEST wheel cleaner around?

    Autosmart yes, cheap and reasonably effective for sure. IMO it does an okay job its the price thats attractive Bilberry - Yes a great wheel cleaner and favoured by a lot of detailers. As good as it is, not a patch on this, again IMO Iron X - Seems to be only for brake dust specifically! I...

    The BEST wheel cleaner around?

    Link works fine for me guys. Mike B - I'd guess detailing wouldn't be for you, patience might be an issue I'm guessing? What he shows is overkill to be fair......a quick spray on and leave it for a few minutes while you do your thing. You can pretty much just jetwash them afterwards and...

    Carpet cleaning??

    How about hoovering it first to remove loose dirt / grime etc then a fairly liberal soaking with an APC and if possible, using a high pressure blow line to force the dirt out? I've read of people using similar processes and it sounds on the money.

    Clean A6

    Wheel clean / tar removal / wheel well clean

    Tardis is what you want.....sposed to be the bees knees. All the pro's seem to swear by it.:icon_thumright: I certainly wouldn't recommend the Turtle wax stuff I used. You might also want to claybar them after to remove built up brake dust etc etc if you want a really clean / smooth finish...
