Cleaning Pug

I am finding it hard removing some dirt on my pug, tried preasure washer etc
....

Could anyone recommend any chemicals etc to use that wont harm the paint
work ?

 

a gentle appplication of T-Cut will cut through that ingrained dirt an
restore the shine but don't rub too hard or you'll take off the paint. I
also find AutoGlym Polish lifts dirt but not paint! What year is the pug and
what kind of paint? Flat colours on new cars are using soft paint. older
cars use a hard paint. Metallics have a laquer coating on top.How dirty is
dirty?

 

If its baked on bugs etc. just keep hosing it down and keep it wet for a
couple of hours before sponge washing it.
Alternatively, do as I do, wash it after its rained

 

Its a Pug 306 W Reg (Metalic Silver (looks blueish).

hmmm dont like the sound of t-cut. My parents used it on there car and
got several shades of the colour of there car.

 

If you can afford the 25 squids it costs get a professional valet to do
the job for you. It'll save you many hours of hard graft and unless your
car is a complete dog that's been abused by going through 3 million car
washes it'll come up like new.

Trust me - I'm a (car) doctor

 

and make sure you get the T-Cut that is specifically for metallic paint...

pretty sure that will happen on quite a lot of manufacturers (and 3rd party)
alloys - some pressure cleaners come with warnings against doing this...

Autoglym Intensive Tar Remover - "rapidly and safely removes residual
contaminants from vehicle paintwork and trim to leave a perfectly
clean surface"

I've been using it for years, its great.

 

Buy a better model next time.

....or some decent aftermarket alloys, alternativly, don't be so damn lazy
and wash it properly by hand

In my day...

 

or even dont wash your car with the pressure washer. I cant believe
the wasters which use them on their cars. If you have a tank and you
off-road often then they are useful. Apart from washing drives and
walls and kiddies bikes (which isnt a good idea either) I wouldnt use
one. I tried the garage one on my car ONCE and did sweet FA cleaning
my car. As for the brush attachment...hmm, anyone heard of a sponge?

With a pressure washer the water gets forced into areas which you cant
get to and it just isnt worth the hassle. it would be nice to hear
how many people have washed their engines only to find they run like a
tractor afterwards.

The only real advantage with pressure washers is that you blast the
shite off your car on to your nextdoor neighbours. Just make sure he
doesnt have one too!
