Ross, I think my Ultrafoam is broken

View attachment 273070

Yep, definitely broken

Had to wash the car again after my lovely neighbour decided to paint her fence right next to my car. To say I was fuming is an understatement, but thank God I got it early enough and it hosed off.

Order placed, rms discount wasnt key but much appreciated to get, and the free delivery to Ireland not just NI is brilliant. Thats one thing that stops me ordering from other companies, when they offer free uk mainland but the Ireland delivery charges are exorbitant.

I have some of your Solapower and its fantastic at taking grime off uPVC window frames (used neat) but it will not take off the black residue left when I wiped down the seals and the black water ran down the frames. Doesn't budge it at all! Any suggestions?

 

[gary1365]

Have you tried lazer

 

[svensktoppen]

Yes, Lazer should do it.

And no need at all to use any of these products neat! Solapower is like 1:80, and Lazer at the same or so will lift anything including mucky greasy old bike parts.

By all means use neat if it makes you happy but it's just a massive waste of product really.

With ultragloss do you spray it on and rinse off with the hose, or spray on wipe with a drying towel then rinse?

 

[gary1365]

Spray on and rinse straight off.

 

[Deezer-D]

Ordered some Purge, them hose yokes, SolaPower and a couple of buckets

Spray on wet car, rinse off straight away with a trickle from the hose. Then dry the car as normal.

What scent is best? Going to stick an order in!!

 

[svensktoppen]

All personal preference really. I like signature but have some grape on the way to try.

Signature and hybrid are my current choices!

have you tried it diluted down? You need a solvent to remover rubber residues and SolaPower has a mild solvent base.
Also if you try it with magic sponges it’ll make a good difference

Any suggested chemical resistant spray bottles?

Tried it diluted, no difference. It still gets the grime off when dilute but about half as quickly. Seeing as I have all the window frames in the house to do, I'd rather just use it neat and get it done in half the time!

Will try a Magic sponge, hopefully that works!

i also owe you a bottle of tarminator because it was you who coined the name if you remember!!!

Any suggested chemical resistant spray bottles?

the standard spray bottles are chemical resistant - it is the spray head which needs care

what chemical in particular needs the new heads.

I have an order placed for new bottles and spray heads but they are at least 6 weeks away due to shipping delays
i do have sufficient stock of the current style bottles and heads for the time being however

Hahaha that's right!

 

[mikerd4]

Im in no panic so Ill wait and buy a few when you get the new ones in.

edit:- I didnt see the current ones on your store

 

[WSK]

Small order in, took a punt on the Hybrid scent!!

 

[svensktoppen]

The wee spray bottles are not in the store at the moment for some reason.

Just wanted to comment to say that I had heard loads singing Anachem's praises on here and so ordered snow foam, car shampoo and spray wax. Have only got using the shampoo so far and am extremely impressed! A little went a long way, the smell (cherry cola) was class, it cleaned better and left a better finish than any other shampoos I've used. Will definitely be a repeat customer and hopefully get up to the actual store once this whole situation blows over.

May as well ask this - Does anyone know of any products they do that might help remove stains / water marks from vinyl wrap? I have a really bad case of what I think are water marks but nothing is shifting it.

 

[davyk31]

A dedicated Water Spot remover is what you need. Fireball do a decent one

 

[NATHAN606]

Just ordered a couple of things. Looking forward to trying hybrid scent

First time I had the balls to use some Lazer on a slightly gunky engine cover and it definitely helped shift oily embedded crap compared to the blast of the power hose beforehand. Will get a better go at it at a later point and report back.

Spray lazer on then put 2 capfuls in hot water and agitate it with a brush.
