Andyuk911 Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 I have decided that a RS4 not only atracts attention but also dirt. I now have a relatively quick method to clean the car minimising any scratches. I am also convinced the zymol on the car saves stone chips as the surface is smooth and stops the stone digging in. First off how dirty it looks. This is my Karcher which I bought quite a few years ago. It also produces hot water, but I don't use that on the RS4 as I don't want to remove the zymol. The Lance, but I have always fancied one with a angle end ... never seen a nice one to buy .. So out with spray, note how clean the front of the car is .. I use to use hot Wheels.. but despite what MG say, you can smell acid .. I now use P21s, but today nothing as the wheels have jet seal 109 on. I now have a fully wet car... This is the foam gun I use, I add a splash of Zymol wash to it Yum, Foam foam foam While foam does it's job, I make up my wash bucket I now spray the car off to remove the foam and hopefully any dirt At this stage I have not touched the car or wheels by hand. looking much better Now I start to wash and include the door shuts... I use the jet wash without the lance to clean the sponge.. This is what I use to clean the wheels and ALSO the inside of the exhaust at the back. The exhaust were cleaned with Zymol metal cleaner and only need soapy wash to stay shiny No Kerbed alloys here, LOL Behind the caliper, but you still need to move the car slightly if you want 100% job. Clean exhaust Now I spray off I use this to dry, with the odd squirt, LOL I also have this I now dry all the wheels, note different towels, No fading of my RS logo, as I don'y use acid on my wheels Sometimes, I wipe the tyres down with this ... Job done, but the light has just gone, LOL .. about 1 hour The following morning .. Hope you enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P_G Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 Nice and clean there Andy, where do you get your wheel brushes from? You asked how clean the RS was, this clean...... Nothing as elborate on the products front, just my Karcher as a hose down, Megs NXT Shampoo with mit, drying towel, CG Mirror Glazed and Collinite 915 on body, Poorboys Wheel Sealant and Megs Tyre Gel. What's Jetseal like? Thinking of some but at £20+ it's a tad pricey.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyuk911 Posted October 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 I just use Jet seal on the wheels and seems to work. Don't use a mitt as it can trap grit. Zymol tyre gel I think is over rated and does not seem any better than anything else. I would recommend you clean the inside of the exhaust. Makes the car have a 'new' appearance. Zymol metal polish is 50% better than Autosolv. The brushes from The polishing Company, the only ones on the market that don't flick dirt at you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
