    Great job. I usually do this every time i change from summer to winter tires or vice versa. I use silicone spray as a sort of dressing and water dispersant on the plastic and rubber parts, instead of the water based dressing, as i think it lasts a bit longer and can actually help with keeping suspension bushings soft and flexible. Further more I use some aerosol cavity wax where i can fit the nozzle in and usually give my rusty metal components a very quick lick of spray paint.

    I found that cleaning arches is more important than just making them look nice but for keeping suspension components working well. I had coilovers that squeeked and found that cleaning all the crap out of them helped a lot

    Hey Joe, really enjoyed that. I have the same Tein coilovers as you on my CRZ. I plan to do this in spring and remove the liner to treat any rust hiding behind them and a bit of underseal. Be sure to watch out for that video. Lots more crz content to come

    Great video! Love the voice! Have I mentioned before now that you should consider voice acting. Your voice is easy on the ears. Water wasting is only mentioned by those around the globe living in aired climates. Here in Canada we have lots of water, but also use lots of road salts that rush out our vehicles. Use all the water you need to get all those road contaminants off of your car!

    Thanks Joe, just a UK diy driveway detailer of my own family fleet, I have been very pleased with 🚗 Gods range, for all round value at my local Tetrosyl car parts shop, in terms of 💷vfm and the off the shelf bigger volumes of their potions. I wish more shops not just online sold 5ltrs as well because fortnightly 🚐🚙🚗 family fleet clean day requires semi bulk useage, but not needing to go OTT buying 25ltr size product.
    Their red diesel looking pre wash and purple bleeding Iron fall out I rate highly too.
    I cannot praise Bilt Hamber snow foam enough for leaving such a nice gloss on the paintwork👌and BH’s protection products to motor underside and bay area metals also is top notch as you so elequently spoke about. All the best for this years content CG.

  • @thijss1272

  • @seashackf1
    @seashackf1 Рік тому +2

    Looks great. I do the same in Spring after snow is done and sand is cleaned off the roads. Interesting to learn about Atom Mac. We only recently have we been able to get BH in the US. The problem with rusted rotors has only had one solution for us and that’s Hyde’s Serum Rust Stopper. It a clear liquid that works well to cut down on rust after washing wheels, but it’s very expensive. Currently it’s $90 for I US gallon (128 fl oz). The Atom Mac is $45 for 500ml (16.9 fl oz). So it’s considerably cheaper when you figur the Atom Mac is a concentrate and can actually make 340 oz at 5% dilution. The Hyde’s is pre diluted. Looking at your rotors it it seems to work at least as well. I’ll have to give it a try when my Hyde’s runs out. I usually only do a light mist to the rotors when wet. It looks like you coat the rotors heavily with it. Is that what it calls for? What dilution do you use it at?
