At £2.99 this must be worth trying.

Absolutely! After the UKBA visit, what else could you use ... ... ...

I had a Rib Eye Steak from Aldi tonight - close to one of the best I've ever tasted. Almost as good as the local butchers, who are the butcher of choice for many posh restaurants, (Frosts of Chorlton, Manchester).

Great stuff. I bought a bucketful last year.

Have already used it and its good.
However if you can not get it and you are near a caravan shop also buy some 'Silky' about £4 a tub, I use it both on the caravan and boat with excellant results.
One tip with Silky 'don't let it dry', wet boat and then clean with Silky (it also removes all marks) then just hose off, job done and spotless.
Needless to say you don't see Silky for sale in boat shops!

Backpacks (£4.99) and set of torches/headlamp also look interesting on Sunday.

I would rejoice only my Aldi battery charger seems to have been defeated trying to resurrect my old battery.Maybe I could use it for cooking one of their steaks?

Yep that cleaning stuff is the DBs, just run out so the offer is timely.

I remember that being a "caveat" raised when they were last discussed, it's a consequence of it being an "automatic 6/12v" charger. It will have decided your dead 12v battery is probably a 6v one due to the current level of discharge. So not really the charger's fault.
VicMallows; I bought one of the headtorches last autumn & it has been a Godsend for walking the dog on unlit country lanes. If I switch it on when I spot a car, they invariably slow down & approach cautiously. It also provides plenty of light to walk by even if there is no moon & the path is overgrown or uneven. Still on the original batteries too, much to my surprise.

I tried this stuff last year. It was rubbish, save a few quid towards a pot of Y10

I don't know about the caravan cleaner but the black streak remover is likely to be different from Oxalic acid. Oxalic acid (Y10) is not very good on black streaks. In the past I've used Stabright black steak remover which is very good indeed but, as Stabright is more than £10 for a bottle, the Aldi stuff is at least worth trying.
FWIW Y10 is an expensive way of buying Oxalic acid, but that has been discussed many times on the forum.
I'll try some of the caravan cleaner but whether it is just an abrasive cleaner or something else, I don't know.

The Caravan cleaner is what I use to clean my boat. I recommended it here about a year ago when I first tried it.

You need to give a really poorly battery a blast with an ordinary dumb charger to lift the voltage a bit, then swap to the intelligent one.

I need loads of the caravan cleaner, but no Aldi on the Isle of Wight!!!!!
Can't believe they don't do mail order.

The literature with the Aldi charger (the one I bought recently) does not claim that the charger will to be able to revive or improve the performance a failing or failed battery.
The charger does have a pulse mode that is automatically controlled and it seems to be a good product.

They are also doing a Phosphoric Acid based bog descaler (for washing machines n dishwashers) pretty cheap.

On the strength of the thread I just got two bottles of the black streak remover. Surrounded by power stations a clean hull round these parts can be heavily streaked in days.

Not the case Searush.It had no trouble differentiating between a 12 & a 6 volt battery.
The trouble came when it failed to move it on from 12.3 volts & I decided the problem was sulpherization.......It has a mode between 7.5 & 10.5 volts where it pulse charges to "reactivate deep-charged 12v batteries."
I connected up my fridge (among other things) to reduce the voltage so that this would kick in.I did it two or three times over two or three days & this seems beyond the battery chargers ability to cope with.It now only appears to be recharging the battery while my old 1970 cheapo charger seems to be doing a sterling job.(still not beyond 12.3 volts).
