Yep funny subject I know!

But at the weekend needed to do something with the seats on the company C2, they were filthy, so after a bit of head scratch, thought ha ha, and hot bucket of water with a handful of Aerial Bio, and wow all the dirt and grease came off , loverly.

The vehicle was filthy outside as well and having almost a full bucket and sponge washed the outsdie with the Aerial, and wow did it come up a treat. The dirt cam off easily a white solid paint and all of the dead fly's, result.

So has any one else ever washed a car with Washing Powder, I know its most likeyy taken the paint off etc etc etc, and would not fancy it on the S but for a deep clean LOL on the company car a result!!!!!!!!!!! yes its full of bleach and such like

Washing powder is EXTREMELY aggressive which is why it cleans so well!
It will attach stuff like aluminium.

The GT100 owners might be interested, to keep their cars looking whiter than white.

Seriously, are you mad? :freak:

You will be using a brillo pad to get rid of dead flies on your bumper next!

Not sure which is worse - Fairy liquid or biological wash powder!

When you were told 'your answer lies in surfing', we did not mean this.

A good friends son used scotch bright on a neighbours car when he was cleaning it to earn some pocket money. It cost his parents more to get the car resprayed!

I agree that washing powder is very corrosive on alloy.
