Citrus cleaner?!
I don’t know what you’re talking about 🤐

I’ll update the photos above with pricing.

I’ll honestly have it on as soon as I can.
@Reno_LV needs to get set up to do a lot of shooting for me as it’s not with his while setting up to just take one photo, so we are trying to get caught up this weekend to shoot CitraClean as well as the 5 x bundle offers I will be adding to the site which will be a bit of something to suit everyone and the equipment they’re using.

Lol, I'm the same. Need a few things and also dying to use cleanse but delaying to order until the CitraClean is updated on site.

Is the new trim going to be included in the new update Ross?

Just put it up without a picture for now, we won't mind :innocent: :p

Appreciate these are crazy times Ross. In your own time, I'm sure there are a million other things to sort out too between Corona and Brexit, all restrictions, etc.

Too cold to wash the car now anyway, plus it's stinking again inside three seconds 😅

Ross @Big Pimp would the IK Foam Pro 2 work with articulate?
Long story short is I’m not sure mate.
Articulate isn’t a naturally foamy product.
When they arrive I’ll open one and use it for demo purposes

I’d say the multi sprayer version would be better suited to articulate or CitraClean use

Just before I blatter on with Cleanse, will it be ok for a polished face alloy? What should I dilute it to?

There's no solvent or acid in it but it is caustic. Don't think that should affect a polished face. But I haven't tried it myself.

It can be used undiluted but most seem to dilute it down 1:3 or 1:5, even 1:10. Maybe more, haven't tried yet. It's pretty aggressive and can take being watered down no bother.

I put it up to the top of the yellow line on the sprayer so probably 1:3. No issues whatsoever. Worked brilliantly as to be expected 👍

Thought I would try out Cleanse on the sub £1k passat that had about a months worth of dirt on it. Sprayed on and left to dwell for a few minutes. No agitation and no ultrafoam over it. Very impressed.

Before

During (sorry about the poor quality, its grand on my phone but YouTube killed it)


After

Came up well for a touchless wash using just Cleanse, Articulate, Ultrafoam and Ultragloss.

Really @svensktoppen ? I was under the impression it should be used neat. When I say under the impression @Big Pimp replied to an IG post of mine to say use as is..

I've polished alloys so would be good to be clear before I go spraying on.

@Lappintyre - I'd always recommend it used full strength on first use, and subsequent uses you can decide to dilute if you wish to dilute the performance.

In relation to polished / diamond cut - no issues at all. The wheels in which extreme care needs to be used is the unlacquered or hand polished wheels which have no protection at all. But then, on wheels like that I'd only be using something like Gleam anyway, as even articulate (being a high pH alkaline) is too strong.
