Greased Lightning
« on: 17 May 2010, 23:28:03 »

Whilst channel hopping, I came across Ideal World tonight.

They were pushing "Greased Lightning", the waterless cleaner. Has anyone on here bought it? Does it work?

The demonstrations looked impressive!

To me it defies logic - like most things on these shopping channels - where does to dirt go if not into the fabric of the cleaning cloth and thence back onto the paintwork? :-? :-?

Where does the dirt go??? :-? it's BS it must get picked up in the cloth and hence you end up wiping dirt all over you car scratching it to shit ::)

Personally i've gone a bit anal on the new motor:

1. Prewash with PA snowfoam attachment on pressure washer (letit soak for 5minutes0
2. Rinse off.
3. 2 bucket wash with lambswool mitt (1 bucket with the shampoo, 1 with plain old water to rinse everytime - you'll be amazed at the crap that comes off in the rinse bucket ;))
4. Rinse
5. Dry (quality drying towel)
Optional extras:
6. Clay (contaminent removal)
7. Polish (paint correction)
8. Glaze polish (hide fine marks and give extra depth)
9. Carnauba wax
10. Loony bin :D

There was no bigger sceptic than me. My brother gave me some to try. I've used it for a while and it really does work.

It gives a better shine than my previous autoglym.

The wife also uses it on the house windows-she reckons it's the easiest and best cleaner she has used for the windows.
