Flies !!!!

Edited by RoryC

I just have a big pet spider that lives behind my radiator grill, getting fatter all the time..

Water with lemon juice and/or white vinegar on a 50/50 mix.  This will bring the glass up a treat and will also help with plastic/kevlar bodywork too.  A method of keeping the pests off the bodywork and numberplates is well tried and tested and works really well too.....smear a thin coat of petroleum jelly onto bumper and plate, when the bugs get on there, they stick into the jelly and you just wipe them away with kitchen towel.

What about F1 helmet visor rip-offs (pun in there somewhere!) just take a big sheet of cling film and replace every 100 miles.

Getting them off...I use Zaino (I am the UK distributor...)

Getting them on - this is a friend's 911, after a top speed run in Germany. 172mph on speedo, 164mph on GPS.

For removing flies I use a product called Amberclens, made by Ambersil, it's a foaming aerosol cleaner used for computer cleaning I think... Spray it on the screen or the paintwork, it foams up, leave about a minute then just wipe it off bugs and all... easy. lots of companies use it (maybe yours does too..) but I don't know where you can buy the odd can. I also use wonderwheels and it is nasty stuff but does a great job.

Its when they are baked on that they are a real pain.

I used to get the fekkers off my motorbike screen using a towel that I had soaked, wrung-out, then microwaved [truly!] to get it steming hot. Sort of like those things you get after a biriani and before the kulfi arrives, only full size.

They come off the front of the car quite easily mind you, so I haven't had to resort to the hot towel method.

I polish my motor with zymol cleanser wax, then field glaze, and even baked on flies drop off after a few second with the hose.

wonder wheels is really good, not just alloys but tailpipes too (just mke sure they are stainless NOT chrome!) but on  the allys its best to seal them with wax after.

I use Wonderwheels on my alloys, and I really cannot fault it.

For dust that has been left for a while, it may take a couple of applications but it always seems to come off.

 

Thanks,

I think I'll also change back to Mintex pads as the Ferrodos are a nightmare, one good drive and the wheels are caked!
