Default Car Cleaner - FW1
Hey has anyone heard of this stuff? FW1?

Got it off a guy who was flogging it at the local servo and seems to work quite well. Trying to work out why I've never heard of it before if it's so great. He did a demo on the bonnet so I bought a can then did the rest at home and was pretty blown away.

Anyone heard of this stuff?

my ex used to sell it when she was working for a marketing company, she took a can home for me to try.. was rubbish left some greasy residue on my paint that took a long time to get off. Not worth the $$ imo.

It definetly isn't like wd40, it's pretty good and after checking out the website I think I may get the enthusiast pack! Looks like good value, and I know it works.

I haven't researched it but have used it for a while now- not only does the waterless clean but buffs up really well- not a bad all in one solution at all.....ok, the girl selling it also had a pair of great attributes...sucker for cheap marketing I am!

While I havent used the stuff, isnt it annoying being approached by these people at servos. Especially when you go to the same one twice in one day and they dont remember you so try and sell it again.

Got some back in 2005.. out of pity for the poor salesman in the rain trying to flog them off. Last week I bought a car with sap and stains all over the place.. did the job in a big way! May not be satisfactory as a total care product of a new paint job, but for a good clean up or resurrecting bad paint, it worked a gem... try it on the glass windows, outstanding!

Yeh I just looked at their website. Found that they've got their locations on there so you can find ur nearest place to get some. It's fw1.com.au
Really isn't bad stuff. Will try it on the mirrors and glass and stuff now. Apparently meant to work on that to. Cheers guys.
