Title: Car Washing
Post by: searly on March 08, 2011, 11:16:34 pm: I have just ran out of BTBM and do not know what to get next . Been looking at Lusso Auto Bathe , but seems limited where you can get it .

any advise on what I should be trying , or staying with what I have been using .

Post by: stealthwolf on March 08, 2011, 11:37:34 pm: I used to love BTBM. It's slick and easy to use. Don't need a lot and foams nicely. Where I found it lacking was in cleaning power. I've switched to duragloss 901 and love it. It doesn't feel as slick or as nice to use but I feel it cuts through the grime better.

Not dissing BTBM. It's great to use if you wash your car regularly but for times when you haven't washed the car in months, I'd go for something else.

Yeah. Smells more like calpol and not as delicious as BTBM but I swear it cleans better.

Very, very good everyone I know that bought it recommends it, small amount required as its a great dilution ratio. you could also search out CG Glossworkz

Post by: SimonBash on March 10, 2011, 12:34:43 pm: Only point against basics of bling is its inferior dilution ratio compared to BTBM, althought basics of bling is cheaper....

Is that recommended by the Stevie Wonder school of Car washing? :grin:
