Re: Tyres and jet wash
Do not jet wash the tyres. Bucket of water with some car shampoo in it and a brush with a long handle.And bobs your aunt Dave
But what happened to your other sign on ,If you PM Newtsalad he could sort it for you.
Long handle brush or plunge brush from Home Bargains .

Re: Tyres and jet wash
Thanks all done now I didn’t use jet wash and it looks clean at least (I do miss the chrome on the c90) but anyway needs must. Now I noticed a little bit of rust around the exhaust bracket and a little on the exhaust,so I’m asking the wizards can I put some “waxoyl under seal on affected areas(I have this leftover from doing the rear wheel arch on 90) I’m concerned that the heat from exhaust is too much ....or should I get black hammerite... will that cope with the heat....thanks all

Re: Tyres and jet wash
BBQ paint , hammerite is oil based and not high temperature.

Re: Tyres and jet wash
Hammerite is horrible to paint. Horrible to clean brushes up afterwards. I hate the stuff...
