| Rain stopped play!! (Not Cricket) Hi All Got up early this morning to start detailing the Fab because weather reports said it was going to rain about 2ish, Decided to take the wheels off and give them a good clean.............using Meg's All wheel cleaner..... before.. Not too bad.....  and after.....  Gave the calipers a quick clean...  So started by doing the usual Snow foam etc  and  Dried her off ready to wax but looked over my shoulder and was not impressed with what I saw!!!  PS: the bag on the roof of my shed is to stop a leak   I knew it was coming but it was 10:00am, So moved very quickly just to make her look good......... Wheels......  Right side....  Just managed to get all the wheels dressed before the heavens open fully....  and  A little pee'd off but aleast I got the wheels sorted, maybe another go at weekend..............

| Re: Rain stopped play!! (Not Cricket) HI, to be honest I just used the spray bottle attachment that came with my pressure washer, Fill it about 3rd full, top up with water and off you go... The good thing with my pressure washer is when my Kärcher washer broke I bought a really cheap one prob no more than £50 (Can't quite remember) and it's miles better than the Kärcher that broke .......... If it helps it's a champion washer... The bad thing is that I'm on a training course in nottingham tomorrow (220 Mile round trip)so I think she might need washing when I get back..........

| Re: Rain stopped play!! (Not Cricket) Weathers been very iffy here lately so you will need to wash it again, but dont worry about your wheels they probably wont be on the car when you get back to it
