£20 - works the same as the Gtec C5. https://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/carbon-c ... 4DEALw_wcB

With the wheels you're choosing, these type of products mean the 'nooks and crannies' are cleaned with a standard alloy cleaner and a jet wash. No need for brushes etc..
You think 15ml will get around a set of 19" multi spokes?
if its got tits or tyres..its trouble :D

Didn’t on my 276’s an a lot less spokes than the knuckle scrappers you’ve bought. The post that said the C1 is the same, I looked at that and it comes in a 100ml bottle for the same price as C5 30ml

    Yep, did my 19 inch CSLs with some left over (albeit not much). One of my favourite products this is mate.

    Those little tight areas that sometimes just dont come clean, which there are loads of on CSLs, it creates a barrier so it just comes of so easily.

    Not for everyone though. I'm just lasy with wheel cleaning. Has to be the worst job, other than cleaning the inside of the windscreen. :o

    Okay!!

    Carbon Collective is a 9H coating you put on the wheels. By saying it hardens they alloys is probably not 100% accurate, but you get the idea. The coating makes the alloys 9H.

    If you had clicked the link I shared you could have read that yourself. If you want to know more on what is 9H hardness, read this: https://avalonking.com/blog/what-is-9h- ... c-coating/

    But it doesn't make the "alloys 9H", indeed it doesn't affect the alloys at all. The 9h hardness you are referring to is the hardness of the ceramic coating, not the hardness of the alloys.

    Just so that there's no misundertanding for people reading your original post.
