I have 100 gallons of special. High strength. Industrial cleaning stuff in my garage. Well it's not mine it's my sons. He cleans an artic trailer with it in Four and a half minutes.
I keep forgetting to take it down to the boat to try it on that. But keep forgetting, and it is 310 miles away. I would lik two or three people to give it a try. Spray it on with squiry thingy or garden spray,leave for a few second then idealy power wash off. It works on my car and dont melt it or the plastic bits. Just one or two of you who live close to a really grungy boat.

Think I'm visiting you more than my own boat at the moment!!
Would not say no though. Bit busy at the moment, but I'll be over some time. Why you not come and pick some up??

I live next to a railway line just where they all brake on a slope going into a station.......I have therefore a wonderfull coating created by electic conductivity grease bonding metallic brake dust over all horizontal surfaces - glass, car roofs/bonnets/ etc
If your stuff can shift it it might be worth more than Solly!
Any chance of a bit? I might be able to collect.

I use that stuff, called Truck Gleam or something. Does work well. I get it in 25 litre containers for 15 quid a throw. Stuff I get needs diluting down a bit. Its ok on the cars paintwork as long as you don't leave it on too long. First it takes the wax off, then the laqeur, then the paint, then the primer and your left with shiney bare metal and a pool of multi colour crud around the wheels.

Used it on the boat too. Spray it on and hose it off. Brings it up all nice and white. Funny that as it was blue when I started! Then just give it a polish, good stuff.

Re: 12 wheels on my wagon

Give up. Why is the quad bike, in a trailer, in another trailer. I know you Northern types go for belts and braces approach, but this is approaching Happy levels - wouldn't a spare set of bearings and a jack do the trick? /forums/images/icons/laugh.gif

This stuff is in a blue container. Its not red, think its clear. Been a while since I used it. Say on the label 'For industrial cleaning only'. So its ok on industrial dirt, but no good on your bog basic everyday dirt I presume.

Re: 12 wheels on my wagon

I know. I think he should have been in a circus really. No this was only half the gear. He was cleaning a big shed. So He had a scafolding tower anchored down on the trailer. The quad to drive it round building. and I think the other trailer was for another washing machine and tank of water. Said he used 8 tons of water to wash the shed!!
