I was browsing through ebay and came acorss this,

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cg...116322&r=0&t=0

Sonax liquid wax. At $20 for 12 bottles that seems like a good deal, a very good deal, good for gifts and such.

Just wanted to show Autopia this,

Don and I came across a comparable deal on their car wash (which is quite) good but the numbers we saw at the wholesale site suggested 5 litres of their wash for $28 or something like that!

I have one of the SONAX waxes but I don`t think that is the same one.

**JasonC8301** · 08-08-2001, 04:48 PM

and 5L at that, oh well, got my trusty Gold CLass, Some C, and my back up washes.

PLEASE let me win this! I`ll send out 4 bottles to people who want to test it for $5 or so to cover shipping and handling (hey I am a High school student, cash is tight). It retails for $13.60 or so at http://www.carecaronline.com

Anyway, PLEASE let me win at $20!

Does anyone have any experience cleaning weel wells that are coated in a carpet like fabric? I tried APC with a tire brush soaked in car soap, and nothing gets it really clean. Especially now that all the leaves are on the road. The tires shoot the leaves into the well, and it is extremely difficult to remove.

I was just going to ask this; my father bought a new RX350 that I washed for the first time today, and both front and rear wells are fabric.

I was able to get it 95% by hosing, soaking in APC and scrubbing thoroughly with a brush, but they only had one weeks worth of grime on there.

What is everyone`s trick for these when they have significant soiling? Is it possible to vac them?

They dont seem to get as dirty as one would think. I usually end up scrubbing them out with APC or Super Degreaser, spray on a liberal amount of All Season Dressing and they end up turning out pretty darn good.

What would be considered an All Season Dressing?

I myself usually end up scrubbing them out with Meguiar`s APC or Meguiar`s Super Degreaser with my long handle well brush and let them dry out. So far this has work for me.

On our 09 Jetta, usually just a good hosing gets them pretty clean but if there`s something stubborn a spray of an APC and a scrub with a stiff-bristled brush works.

Both of our Volvos have that and I just use the high pressure at the car wash and I use a foaming tire cleaner spray after it dries.

Ever since I bought a car with "carpeted" wheel wells my pressure washer has become my best friend. I just blast the heck out of them then I spray them down with Safe D-Greaser, let it dwell for a bit, and then blast it again. Once it`s nice and clean in there I spray them down with Hyper Dressing.

Yup, the pressure washer is key.
