Des Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 Picked these up today, at first glance I assumed the esteemed Turtle Wax name was being applied to tat, but further inspection finds these were intended for foreign markets, instructions in hurdy gurdy and frog. Bonus unbiased product test! Dirty NSF wheel. Sprayed the wheel jizz on, nice acid bang to it, even sizzled slightly when it trickled on the ground, left it to soak, batted a broom at it and hosed it off Cleanest it's looked this century, but now I have an odd wheel, but on the bright side I can now deceive people into believing I've had a recent puncture, NYA HA HA!

Alexg Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 Handy to know. I always pick up some dashboard wipes when I'm in there. brickwall 1

oldcars Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 I saw the polish and a wax in a bottle too the other day for a quid. Be good to see what you think of the polish. Wheel has come up well.
Vince70 Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 Cheers Des for the info on the Paaaund land products I've just stopped off and bought the spray wax and the liquid wax and the glass cleaner.. (We didn't have the other stuff in the Bexhill branch).. I've now got enough wax to last till I give up driving in about 30 years time or if someone broke into my garage tomorrow they would think I've got a car cleaning fetish but for a quid it's got to be bought lol brickwall 1
Des Posted May 22, 2015 Author Posted May 22, 2015 Check that glass cleaner, I tried mine out, excitedly applied Triplewax to Triplex and didn't think it much cop in spite of smelling solventish, read the foreign and deduced that it's more of a clearview type of a coating for after the glass is cleaned.T-cutty stuff appears to be T-cuttyish and the wax polish spray seems polishy though.

Bren Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 Perhaps we should have a game of "can you guess what this shit is ?" Only on this site would the users buy cleaning products because they cost fuck all without actually knowing what they are for. barefoot, Vince70, inconsistant and 3 others 6

Vince70 Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 I picked up two of the glass cleaning bottles by mistake rather than the polish.Oh well I guess the windows on the car will be clean for quite sometime plus I might even clean the windows on the house with it. brickwall 1
PiperCub Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 In a similar vein, I found Aldi alloy wheel cleaner to be surprisingly (OK, amazingly) good considering it was so cheap.
robinmasters Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 I only wanted the wheel cleaner-guess which one my local Poundland had run out of? Took me a good ten minutes to find it-they'd put it at the opposite end of the shop to the other car stuff, with the slug pellets, between the soft drinks and the makeup. Vince70 1
Vince70 Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 I got my old car out the garage today and gave it a clean using the Pauuundland spray and it didn't come up bad. Only thing if you use the window cleaner be careful not to get It on the paint as I splashed a bit on my car and it dulled the paintwork straight away and I had to compound and polish it and think if I hadn't cleaned it straight off it could of done some permanent damage to the lacquer...
beko1987 Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 Theres a reason expensive stuff is better. That glass cleaner looks like itll strip any glass sealent off, which would be useless if you had nice beady windows already! Vince70 1
DVee8 Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 I got some the polish,wax and the glass treatment. That was all that was left.
