A new bottle? Looks more like dust or something in there?

They can all vary a bit in colour, it's just a die and changes over time.

Haven't posted much on here recently, but with some new Anachem products now launched, I gave the R a quick wash and thought i'd share some thoughts.

Started off with the new wheel cleaner - Cleanse. First thoughts...incredible. Seems to be as effective as Purge at removing dirt, but you don't need to spray nearly half as much. Plus it keeps the Purge for what it was designed to do - Removing Fallout. Another big plus for Cleanse is how it removes dirt from the tyre, even without agitating, dirt was falling off it. Something Purge would never be able to do. Also great for exhaust tips!

Carried out with the normal - Spray down with Articulate, add Snowfoam then a 2 bucket wash and rinse.

Sprayed the car down with Ultragloss then got to try the new DI Resin supplied by Ross. Using this filtered water is so handy for the winter if you aren't wanting to have to dry the car or use quick detailer. I've been using this stuff for years and I rave about it all the time so its great to see Ross now stocking it too. Also perfect PPM reading from it too.

Interior got a very quick clean inside with Trim and a spray with the new Cherry Cola Scent...smells unreal!!

And that's it. Let it drip dry with zero watermarks - then drive away! Products really are next level!

No it’s the second dose out of the bottle it’s just been sat in my shed.

Mine went similar, I just put it down to the dye and not liking colder weather. Didn’t have any effect on the product though as it was fine when diluted down.

Can’t see the DI vessel on your website @Big Pimp? When’s it going up?

Got a proper go at using Cleanse today on the daily. Car was stinking, so it was a good test. Right away you can tell it's a very powerful cleaner, as Mark said above the dirt runs off the wheels and tyres easily without any agitating. Another awsome Anachem product by @Big Pimp

Nice quick 50/50 shot of just articulate and hosing. Shows just how good a prewash it is especially for the winter. Washed with Gleam, UltraSlick on Tyres and a spray with Hybrid. Even though my tyres are usually pretty clean, you can definitely see how the UltraSlick took to them even better top stuff

How do people make their scent smell last?

Not just with anachem but anything i use in car seems to only last 1 day.

I normally spray carpets a wee bit but doesn't seem to last

Spray the headliner, mats, parcel shelf and if you are really keen...pull the cabin filter out and give it a spray!

 

[svensktoppen]

If you haven't, give the interior a good clean. Solapower + upholstery brush + vacuum on all carpeted surfaces. Works on cloth seats as well. Scrub away to get everything out. You'd be amazed how much crud comes out compared to just a hoover!

Better to do this in warmer months though, can take a few days for everything to dry out again at this time of year.

Then the ventilation system as above.

Spray it like you’d spray Lynx Africa at age 15.

Is ultra gloss supposed to be cloudy.

No, definitely not. It looks like contamination to me. Was it like that from the start?

I’ll replace it for you FOC on your next order if you add a note to seller.

Can’t see the DI vessel on your website @Big Pimp? When’s it going up?

Now. Don’t know why it’s not live yet as I added it to the site last night

 

[Michael M]

Ross, would like to try some Cleanse! Could you give me a shout so I can put an order through?

 

[svensktoppen]

It's on the site.

I think it was a bit cloudy at the start but not as bad but to be honest i can't remember 100%. I'll try it the next time I wash the car and if it still works ok I'm not worried about a replacement.

 

[Michael M]

It's on the site.

This is a trade order I’m after

Stole @Reno_LV ’s S2K today so it was only fair I gave it a clean before it goes away for winter.

Cleanse could well be my favourite product, absolutely awesome at wheels, tyres and exhaust tips.

Next up gave the soft top a deep clean with Solapower.

And finished up with a fresh coat of Hybrid, Hydraclean, and a tidy up inside. Also used Ultrasheen this time to mix it up a bit!

 

[Jrooney06]

This isn’t a critique as such but @Big Pimp have you ever considered getting the bottles for the foam lances cone shaped. I’m for ever picking mine up after I’ve knocked it over.

I love that car, best looking S2000 I’ve seen.

Thank you so much and a massive thank you @Mark315

 

[Big Pimp]

I absolutely adore @Reno_LV 's S2K - its perfect

I am looking at getting a wider base for the next version of them!

 

[svensktoppen]

I'm not sure a foam bottle will ever stand on its own with that heavy brass nozzle at the top... Or at least it will always fall over easily. I just put mine on the side, or wedged against something.

 

[Crow555]

I had one of the ebay ones that you see everywhere. I picked up the autoglym one during prime day sales and it's a lot more stable than the ebay ones.

Dr Dirt lance bottle is a great job. I’m sure someone could come up with a more ‘cost effective’ version but I have one and wouldn’t be without it.

The Dr Dirt Foam Lance spare bottle is a uniquely designed foam lance container. Unlike traditional containers, this is conical which makes it stand firmly on the surface without tipping over. There is a measuring scale on the side of the bottle. Bottle holds up to 0.8L (800ml). Suitable for...

Take up a lot more space in the cupboard though. Swings and roundabouts and all that, good to have options
