Halfauds do this nice sponge thing with a mesh cover that works wonders on the bugs, dosen't seem to affect the paint, worth a try?

Still that looks like a scene from starship troopers!

The front gets like that every week !!

And the rear gets covered with unburnt fuel gases which are equally hard to remove 100%!!!

Bought 2 bottles of Megs Quick Detailer for 10 squid!

Can someone recommend a wax to seal alloy wheels? (available from Halfords of course)

I got this stuff two weeks ago,

http://www.halfords.ie/webapp/wcs/stores/s...tegoryId_212511

Sparys in a thick liquid so your not chasing it in drips, been beading up nicely.

Cant believe how much brake dust the OEM pads give out though, really shows on polished whhels
