Car Valeting Pro – Leeds, Harrogate & York

If yours alloy wheels don’t leave you a lot of access to put your hand through the spokes then you’re going to have to remove your wheel. This will make the job of removing the old wheel weight easier but removing the wheel can sometimes be a pain.

Carefully prise the old wheel weight off the wheel, don’t worried about the glue been left behind. If you wrap a thin rag around a butter knife or screw driver this will be the easiest way to remove the wheel weight without damaging your alloy wheel.

Ok were now on to the awful glue that is left behind, if you’ve taken the wheel of use a hair dryer to heat the glue up and it will peel off a lot easier. If you still have the wheel on then try and soak the glue in some Tar & Glue Remover.

I have found the best way to remove the glue is not to try and peel it, but to try and roll it from the longest length side from the outer to inner of the Alloy.

In Summer the front of your car can soon become something like a scene from Disney’s film Bug Life, in between your weekly car wash with the build up of 100’s of various flys and bugs splattered all over your front bumper, windscreen and bonnet.

So the time comes to wash your car and the chore of removing all the bugs is a long and tedious one, which often takes ages.

I have found a great product that makes this task of removing dead flys and bugs from front the front of your car, so much easier and you can have the front of your car cleaned with minimal work.

OK so the product i have found to work is Jeep which is a APC (All Purpose Cleaner)

1: Spray the area concerned liberally with Jeep APC and then leave for around 5 minutes to dwell, in which time the the Bugs & flys are slowly softened and loosened.

2: Just before you use a pressure washer to clean the area just spray again wiuth jeep and then clean straight away with the pressure washer lance.

3: With a couple of slow passes with the pressure washer lance you should see the bugs and dead flys been blasted away.
