Iron X through this mob: http://www.waxit.com.au/collections/carpro/products/carpro-iron-x-snow-soap-50-500-1ltr-4ltr

Most people bought the Iron X LS....but I bought the snow soap stuff cause you can dilute it and make more (and cause I'm a stingy kent and like to get the best BFYB lol)

It wasn't as awesome as I thought it would be, but definitely good enough to get the job done. Can't compare it to other stuff cause I'm lazy and never used anything else before....but with a rinse down, few sprays and a bit of a rub down, the stuff comes off pretty easily. I was hoping for the ultimate 'no scrubbing' required product....but that is just a dream and I don't think such a product exists

P.S. warning the iron x stuff SMELLS LIKE SH*T....I wear rubber disposable gloves when using it cause the smell is terrible lol can't remember if the snow soap smelt as bad (cause only used it once so far).

Just grab some CT18, a weed sprayer bottle and a brush.

The expensive wheel cleaner bottles do an ok job - good for a quick spray and blast with high pressure water a few minutes later.

That does ok for most brake dust, but nothing is as good as using a brush (physical contact) with the wheels.

There's still a build-up of brake dust in the corners that the wheel cleaning liquids don't get rid of.

It's the brushing that does most of the work, so you might as well try CT18 and a sprayer bottle.

Guys is there anyway of getting the factory overflow tank nice and clean or do you need to buy a new one? There are so many of these that's gone that disgusting yellow/ brown colour.

Just buy a new aftermarket one.

Item: Dayco Coolant Tank:

Part Number: DET0003

Price: $44.60

In Perth, Veale have them in stock.

The Dayco one has two outlets at the top - BA style. My taxi (BFIII wagon) only had the one outlet so I bought a suitable thermostat housing and coolant hose to suit the two outlet Dayco tank. My BF Tornado already had a two outlet tank, so the Dayco bolted straight in.

However, the tank will go brown pretty quickly if you don't get a radiator flush done at the same time.

I had previously had a bit of success with cleaning the coolant tanks out with hydrochloric acid. The acid attacked the yellow plastic cap, though.
