Party in my gaff!!! :icon_pidu: :lol:

Nah, using it for detailing the car. Its the easiest thing to use to wipe body panels completely clean from any left over wax, polish, residue etc before applying fresh layers. Just mix it 50/50 with water and away you go. After machine polishing, you can wipe away any oils left over from the compound polish to see an honest result because the left over oils can sometimes mask leftover swirls :thumbsup: Can get it easy over the internet but didnt want to wait this time so want to buy locally and support our economy :lol:

Not sure but I never have any knocking issues when the temps are high so I suppose it's working?
 
Interesting use of it by both of you lads!!

Wonder how much it brings temp down by... :ponder2:

Personally... I like Robies party idea... :lol:
 
So mixing them 50:50 would make the I/C Spray more efficient, therefore reducing knock? Would this get around the issue of the the bottle being located in the engine bay ie hot water being sprayed into your intercooler?

Must be a pain in the arse to keep full though Niall? My I/C spray light comes on every second day with out fail
 
It's not too bad. :icon_jook: Obviously it must be using less as the mix is more eficient but then mine cars not exactly a 'daily driver' :whistle:
 
Most motor factor have it,But it's labelled as the de-icer for frozen windshields.Read the ingredients though in case it contains other nasties.Would'nt want to ruin all your hard work.
 
Thanks lads :thumbsup:
