Hi All, I just thought I'd share this quite nifty little bit of preventative maintenance I had undertaken by D4N Detailing, Tunbridge Wells this fine Sunday afternoon. Dan of D4N has been looking after the car on a fortnightly basis for over a year now. His past life as a BMW mechanic has proven very useful; in the sense that he understands how these cars are put together and has helped with replacing trims and external items. He's also offered valuable advice on a good local mobile fitter and dent repair chap. Both top drawer.
Anyway, D4N recently got a new toy in the form of a Karcher underbody chassis cleaner. It connects to a normal pressure washer lance and is in effect a high pressure lawn sprinkler on wheels. You move it under the parts of the car you want cleaned and, hey presto, lots of 'orrible gunk removed. It has an attachment whereby one can apply a preparatory cleaner which can be left to dwell for a few mins before the main business is done (Dan used a snow foam in this instance).
After the under chassis clean, DN4 then used the first attachment, used to apply the snow foam, to under seal the car with a coat of Bilt Hamber Atom Mac corrosion inhibitor. I had the car undersealed by JZM prior to purchasing the car from them last year but 17,000 miles later and it was probably time to add to that.
