How long did you leave this stuff on before washing off?

When I did mine, I used an old piece of scotch brite with the wonder wheels which really helped in removing stubborn marks.

Hi just a heads up, I bought the 5l bottle of wonder wheels from costco last week for Â£6.ish, not sure of the exact price as I threw the receipt away.

Iâ€™ve heard just normal bottled water especially evian bottled water really works, itâ€™s to do with the mineral content which molecularly works at an atom level liquidising any stains and pitt marks. Go on try a bottleâ€¦

quickie... can I apply the cleaner with boards on the car or would you suggest removing the boards as cleaner could damage the paints/plastics etc? any hints?

Just put masking tape along the bottom of the doors to add a bit of protection and if you can, avoid splashing cleaner on the paint. It will depend upon how acidic/alkali the cleaner you use is.

If it's only on for a short time it should not do damage to any waxed paintwork. I put bilberry cleaner on with a softish brush and that seems fine.
