[gtikezz]

hey all looking for a bit of advice.
what do u use to clean silicone hoses ? spoke to some of the guys on the autoglym stand yesturday and they said that Auto Glym Bird Dropping Wipes are what people use as they are the same as the ones samco supply ?

i used to use silicon spray, then wipe it down later so the dust wont stick

Autoglym have brought out some specialist silicone hose wipes and they have the Samco logo on the box.

Saw them in Performance VW or Golf+ a month or 2 ago.

That could be true tbh, the boxes do look very very similar. You get some good deals from the Autoglym stands.

+1. Its a very good product. And gives the plastics a really good shine.

what does silicone hose cleaner do that say quick detailer doesnt?
Just wondering if it helps prolong the life of the colour or something?

anyone tried baby-wipes ?!?

if they can get poo off a babies bum, then I reckon they can get grime off a silicone hose

Seriously though, I use baby-wipes all round the house/car for general cleaning duties.

 

[rsmith]

Yep, it does sound daft alright, i used them recently and they did work well, i was going to a car show and forget some of my cleaning stuff so i popped into tesco and bought some, worked a treat.

 

[gtikezz]

so from the looks of it there are loads of options out there, thats what i like to hear

cheers for the help guys

have an oil leak with really new oil. mine have never looked newer!

on the serious, use a degreaser spray then wipe that off and then spray some WD40 wait 5mins and wipe it off. job done!
