Red face truck wash

does anyone use truck wash on there trusted steeds
i use it and find that it really pulls the grime of dailey driving out of the paint and leaves the body work feeling alot smoother than if i just use a good quality wash on its own

Yeah, i use it, and it's exactly like you say!
i used it once on my red orion though, and christ, it turned so dull, nealy white! i had to t cut it twice with a buffer then re polish it! thought i'd give the car a good clean before i left for centre parcs was a bit of a rush!

You can use it either way....watered down or neat does wonders on interior trim carpets and seats with a scrubbing brush

here anyone of these tfr is really good i use it every day as stated above can be used on nearly everything but if you pit in on paint work and you do not dilute it you will need to really polish your car to get the shine back this really is strong stuff
heres a link on ebay honestly be carefull with the i would recomend diluting it at least half tfr and half water

tfr is the best to use, truck wash is the same sort of product only it is acid based this is why it dulls paintwork.

am i not right in thinking it cuts through the polish on a car? i use to do valeting and the bosses would never use it on thier own car as it removes the polish etc, a tango wash use to bring it up with a good shine for quickness
