Oh god...

Clean your cars before you sell...or at least before you take a picture

We need a tumblr just for that one pic that transforms a yawner CL post into a disaster.

This was my colleague’s son’s first car.

It’s a 2006 F ifth G en Mk6 Ford Fiesta.

It belonged to a garage that used it as a shop runabout.

Thankfully. It cleaned up.

Thanks. Just time, a good degreaser, stiff nylon brush and a wet vac.

Plot twist: that is after clean up.

I keep my car clean but I do wish I could fly you over to Michigan to give my car a full detail.

Wh ats a good degreaser for seats and carpets?

I use Bilt Hamber Surfed HD. It's a water based degreaser, I use it at 20:1 or weaker on fabrics as it really shifts oil.

Thanks!  I’ll look for that.

No worries. It’s a fantastic product and can be used almost anywhere. It works great even diluted down to 200:1.

Some people use it as a spray on prewash for cleaning the car before a 2 bucket wash.

Some use a snow foam lance to do the same thing.

Use on UPVC doors to remove stains, carpets, windows, fabrics (test on an inconspicuous area, 40:1-50:1 is a good start, then you can add a little more Surfex if it’s required).

*worth noting it isn’t intentionally a snow foam, just can be used via a snow foam lance to clean at a higher dilution ratio or to clean and strip at a lower ratio.

Ha rd to get stateside, but a couple of places on ebay have it.

I’ve tried having a look for stockists in the U.S. with no joy.

Will e-mail Bilt Hamber for U.S. stockists if that’s okay?

Yeah!  I can technically order from them, but their shipping is astronomical.  A 17 pound jug costs 38 pounds to ship.

I’ve requested a list of Bilt Hamber stockists in North America.
