Advice needed : Really dirty ID3!

[andybond]

For one reason or another my wifes ID3 is filthy.

Its a white car if that makes any difference?

I have been looking at TFR and high alkaline contactless cleaners. Any advice out there? I want a product that will remove 90% of the detritus that is on the car. It doesn't need to be mint

Bucket of soap and some elbow grease should shift it.

It's an electric car, so beware of imminent combustion like you get on 11 Turbo's.

For a more serious answer, lets ask newly retired @Chris Smith to comment

I find this works well on the wife’s car




May be slight contact but can guarantee it won’t be a mint job

I use Carbon Collective foam, iron out and prewash - I give it a lashing of prewash for the body and iron out for the wheels funnily enough, leave it to stand for a few minutes (without letting it dry) before blasting away with the washer thing. Then do the same again but followed by a soapy titwank layer of snow foam. CC foam is very clingy and after 5 to 10mins makes quite a difference, when you power wash it will be quite easy to cut through the crap and make it look decent.

It'll benefit from a clay bar rub down etc making the above process much easier.

Or, go to a car wash that has a jet wash bay, lather the bitch in the prewash, jet blast it off, repeat if you have time.

Bilt hamber snow foam works great.

I don't actually use it as snow foam, I just dilute in a standard spray bottle....works just as well.

Got any citrus pre wash? Whack that in with your snow foam will keep… or a non acid sheen cleaner (just a dash)… gives it a real kick
