Andy665 0 Posted August 31, 2010 Decided to clean the arches and underbody of the BMW this afternoon - usually a painful, messy business but this time it was very different Used Bilt Hamber Surfex surface degreaser - all I can say is wow. Sprayed on and left for a couple of minutes, re-sprayed and this time agitated gently and left for another couple of minutes then pressure washed off - job done. Cheap at £14 for 5 litres and can be diluted down massively, I used 1 part Surfex to 3 parts water today Knocks spots off every degreaser I have ever used - all four arches and floorpan cleaned of 12 years of dirt in under two hours Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OSV 0 Posted August 31, 2010 Great result, where did you get it from? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy665 0 Posted August 31, 2010 I usually get it from www.elitecarcare.co.uk - the Bilt Hamber stuff is fantastic, just got some of the Dynax S50 anti-corrosion wax which is reckoned to be the best in the world Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted September 1, 2010 What does the run off degreaser / water do to the surface you are working on? I know you have block paving. Any idea the effect on a tarmac drive? (Though there is a hot pressurer washer place down the road from us with big soak away drains... I think when I eventually give the 8v the clean it needs underneath I'll be going there to get the worst off) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy665 0 Posted September 1, 2010 Judith The work was done on block paving and it just rinsed away no problems at all - I'd heard people rave about this stuff but didn't think it could possibly as good as people were saying - I was wrong :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VRTrickster 0 Posted September 1, 2010 Looks like I might have to get some of that gear. Does the job really well :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted September 1, 2010 Cheers. Will look into getting some as Kip has years of road dirt to remove from under the nugget too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andy665 0 Posted September 1, 2010 Big Ben - got one of those underbody lances - worth their weight in gold, makes cleaning the floorpan so much easier Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
