375 Performance Alloys

Post by Kempy72 » Fri Sep 05, 2014 11:02 am

Well thats a few weeks now I've had my X6 & still loving it.

Although I must admit I'm not loving the cleaning of the alloys :cry1:, gave them a good clean the other night & it took so long it got dark :) never mind I think they look the dogs dangly bits.

Yeah, I think I warned you about that.  But like you say, they look so good.

Hi
Its a Karcher HDS5/11, really is a great jet wash uses standard hose fitting (I use mine off the water butt}

Only 110 pressure but on hot tends to clean most things uses normal diesel car fuel to heat the water.

its commercial grade so for home use should last for years. Aim to pay around the £1200 pound mark.

Bit heavy when full of fuel but fits in the X6 comfortably. Image

Replied with this to your other thread:

Just get some gtechniq C2v3 Liquid Crystal. It's superb stuff and can be used on the bodywork, glass and wheels a like. Then use something like Bilberry's wheel cleaner for washing with. Should be fairly easy to keep clean then and not too much effort.
