M240i Clean

After a trip to the lakes earlier in the week and it raining on the way home my car was in need of a good clean.

Used GT Wheel shampoo in a IK foamer and various brushes for the wheels.

Lower half of car sprayed with GT Decon 1:25 rinsed then Labocosmetica Primus foamed.Bucket wash with Labocosmetica Semper.Towel dried using Labocosmetica Idrosave as a drying aid 1:10 in a sprayer this leaves a really shiny,slick finish and works out really cheap at 10ml in a litre of water.

Tyres dressed with Gyeon.

What ratio GT Wheel shampoo ( product to water ) did you use in your IK foamer.
