Title: Reach & Wash Van - Chemicals to carry?
Post by: Rob_Richardson on November 06, 2018, 02:37:21 pm
Hello

With a newly fitted RO reach and wash system I am very happy with the results but what additional chemicals and products are you guys carrying to make life easier?

I am thinking along the lines of harder ground in dirt, UVPC and frame cleaning products, pre-treatment products etc?

Thanks

G101 or any other all purpose cleaner, flash will do . - first cleans, connys, gutters - this is my go to stuff
Tardis - glue remover - hardly ever used this bought it in my car valeting days but im sure it`ll come in handy at some point
Bleach - jazzes up my G101 as a conny roof or first clean  prespray (watch your eyes)
Washing up liquid - Adds a bit of stick to bleach or G101- plus looks nice and frothy (ive even once or twice attempted some trad with it)
Cream cleaner - for restoring plastics, removing light scratches etc.
Bronze wool - very rare ill crack this out, they have to be paying properly if this is used.

Rare this lot is used though, i mainly just clean windows with pure but you can beat making a deadly concoction for a mingin first clean, ive whacked all 4 in the mix before, lovely.
