Car cleaning and valeting discussion
NeilS, I've been on Youtube looking at the latest twist loop drying towels which are impressive. There is also a mention of circle pipe towels although I haven't found any reviews yet.

Not sure I agree with you on the wheels. I find them a pain to clean properly. Too many spokes for my liking... I think I count 15 of them. Of course its all about how they look for most people. Perhaps they take their car down to the local car wash to get it cleaned

Not come across those myself…..no doubt I’ll end up trying one but it’ll have to be something special to beat the twisted loop.
I’d have to also disagree on the wheels - from looking at them and seeing them in person, I I can tell you that they wouldn’t be easier than mine. I can get right into the barrels and behind the spokes with ease, even with my shovel sized hands.

Just bought one of the ones you recommended Neil. Waiting for it to be delivered. My Auto Finesse drying towel is a few years old now so I’ll see how it compares! Sounds like it should do the job though from what you’ve said!

Whats the best / easiest to use wheel cleaner, used to have some for my previois car but wasnt up to much, lately been cleaning with warm water but noticed the odd bit of brake dust/ metal build up starting so want to get on top of it before it drives me nuts.
Also any recommendations for wheel protection

Bilt Hamber Autowheels is what you need.
Wheel cleaner and fallout in one product. Wouldn’t use it neat on every wash though.
You can dilute it 1:1 and use it on a more regular basis on not so dirty wheels or if you have any protection on your wheels, a little APC and shampoo would do for maintenance washes.
Spray and rinse sealants offer good but short term protection - easy to apply and makes drying simple too.
