Reviews / Review of angelwax wheel cleaner and snow foam
« on: January 28, 2016, 04:32:09 PM »
So after a few weeks of not cleaning my car it needed to be done, having just bought 2 new products thought I would give them a go and post a review:
To start with will review the Angelwax Bilberry wheel cleaner.
So the dilution rate is 1:10 on light contamination and 1:2 on heavy God only knows how dirty the wheels would have to be for 1:2 dilution rate, I used 1:10 dilution rate and made myself 500 ml of the cleaner. Using 50 ml of the bilberry cleaner and have to say this was more than enough to clean the wheels it even cleaned off those stubburn marks from heavy break dust contamination. Have to say that as soon as it was applied to the alloys it got to work really quickly, removing the dirt even before I had even touched the wheels. I used a small detailing brush to lather up the wheels and that seemed to be enough to clean the alloys. I found it better to apply the product to the alloys after a quick jet wash tried it both ways and was definitely easier when applied to wet alloys.
Ok now the Angelwax fast foam snow foam:
This product was bought without much thought mostly chosen on price. The dilution rate on this foam is not the best out there at 1:9. Again with this product I made 500ml of this and found it was enough to do the car. The foam was very thick clinging to the car really well. I was really impressed by it even though the dilution rate is not as good as others the thickness of the foam means you can apply the foam lightly and it won't affect the clean imho.
This is my first real review so be gentle
here are a few pics of the finished car.

Meets & Events / Meet south Wales
« on: January 20, 2016, 08:08:34 AM »
Was just wondering if there would be any interest from the Welsh section of Abarth forum having a small meet somewherel. I know there are not many of us. Ofc anybody from the forum would welcome.
Just an idea as there are a few meets elsewhere but not any this side of the bridge.
It might bring in more members to the forum if we get noticed.

General Chat / Engine cover idea
« on: November 27, 2015, 03:29:17 PM »
The idea of the yellow hose kit ellapress was talking about got me thinking, how hard would it be to change engine cover to yellow or do they sell them ? Seen this pic on the net and thought it would go nice as my car is black with yellow calipers.

General Chat / Private Plate
« on: October 06, 2015, 08:32:16 PM »
Well never really wanted to buy a private plate for a car, but I felt that this car deserved one (after a chat with Maloutant ). I did try to get TR04 FEO for my A595 but missed out on it so I decided to go with T70 FEO think that will set off my Trofeo abarth
