LC Detailed

[Alex S. Driver]

Thanks guys. I didn't read your replies until after I'd done the deed but I must admit when I used the blade I was thinking - "Now, I've got to be ultra careful here". It's an interesting issue. I'm unsure but I think that anything fabric has got more potential to capture and drag grit that a clean silicon blade - Dunno! 🤔. I used a very light sweeping motion and tried to avoid using any real pressure - just skimmed it over the surface. It was very effective at removing the water I must say, and the drying towel did the rest in one go.

Any my god, those wheels are deep. I can see why your detailing guy takes them off and cleans them from the back side, Chris.

Wheel brushes, these are really good, but not cheap

Well that’s an outstanding result, Graeme.  Worth the effort and almost certainly increased the property values around you.

PS. My apologies, Graeme, for calling you Chris in my previous post.  And further apologies for possibly confusing Chris!

Yeah. Well, up to now it's only been Landies, Porches and Mercs parked in drives round here so you're spot on. 😁
