    Autosmart G101 is a highly concentrated multi-purpose cleaner, and should thus always be diluted to an appropriate strength before use. For general cleaning duties it should be diluted 30:1 (water product), while for more intensive degreasing duties it should be diluted 8:1 (water product). Autosmart G101 may also be used for wheel cleaning and synthetic sealant removal duties; in such cases it should be diluted 5:1 (water product) and spot tested before use. In all cases, an appropriately diluted solution should be sprayed directly onto the surface to be cleaned and then agitated thoroughly with a suitable detailing brush (a Meguiar’s Slide Lock Detailing Brush is usually ideal) before being carefully rinsed off. Ensure that you never allow Autosmart G101 to dry out fully before it is rinsed off, otherwise permanent staining may occur.

    Can go down to 5:1 so they say, I have to say I only have the Megs APC that i have used to take my car back when I'm starting afresh but the G101 gets good reviews. You could mix 100ML G101 with your foam and as they say "dont let it dry"

    Mini as it was. As it is. As it always will be. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, it's up to you to decide if it counts!

    I think I might join him.

    Rain went off so I went out to have a closer look dear oh dear.

    BTW yes that is a little swimming pool and yes that is grass. The rear window was jammed hence the water.

    Removed the boot lining and as is well underneath.







    Managed to get 1 or 5 washes with some G101.

    All being well should have most of the work done by Sunday and some after pics. Weather permitting

    That's in some state isn't it? good luck, I think I'd be getting CSI involved when you look at the interior! I've never seen grass growing in a car like that.
