Waterless car cleaning

Goodday,

I have been away for a few days on a trip to the coast. A total journey of 3000km and as you know your car can get very mucky and dirty picking up insects, oil splatters from trucks and tar from all the road works.

When I got back my car looked as if it had not been cleaned in at least a month and was an insect graveyard. I thought to myself, “This is going to be an all day job to get Gypsy (my car’s name) back to her normal sparkling self.”

I went down to our local car spares shop to get some car shampoo and wax to clean Gypsy and was going through all the various car cleaners and waxes when a spray can caught my eye. It said waterless wash and wax, which intrigued me so I picked up the can and read on.

It claimed it could remove all the grime I had accumulated on Gypsy and more, it could also clean my windows, car rims, chrome and plastic parts and wax her to boot.

I thought to myself, “Well if it can do what the can claims I have a winner”, all I needed was one can of spray instead of dash cleaner, mag cleaner, chrome cleaner and window and tyre polisher. I need only buy one product instead of 3 – 4 products to do the same job. Why not give it a chance, if it worked WOW! What a saving!

I got a can of the FW! Racing formula and off I went home to clean my car with only one can of spray on cleaner instead of a whole packet of goodies, not too sure of the outcome.

When I got home I read the instructions on the can and started to clean Gypsy as instructed. The whole cleaning did not take more than an hour and I was delighted with the results. I found that the formulation also had UV protection in it so it will protect my dashboard and paint surfaces from the sun.

You can carry a can of in the trunk of your car and if you pick up tree sap, tar or road stains on your car you do not need water to clean the dirt off your bodywork.

Apparently it is also suitable for boats, bikes, aeroplanes, trucks and even the kitchen sink, which I have not tried yet.

Watch this space for more information on if it works on other things too.
