you'll also find it called TFR, fraffic film remover, truck wash ois often a rather stronger version, certainly not what i'd use on any paintwork.....________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Even TFR can stain paintwork if you apply it too strongly or allow it to dry on. Use sparingly  ________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.

used tfr many times on my 306 to get lots of crap off. wash coaches with it! its good but when used in the right manner. it's for degreasing and removing stubborn stuff, not for just washing your car with. itll eat your paint if you arent careful. get some "smart wheels", that's a good one________________________________________ 306 rallye reproduction decals (full sets/individual decals) | 306 b-pillar textured vinyl weatherstrips306 slam panel esso stickers | 306 yellow / orange / pension fund red side door badges gti6 inlet manifold badges | 306 rear boot badges (p2/p3) winner of Extraction of toys from prams with outstanding vigour award 2009 [source: gti6 owners club] |

should be fine. great if you use a proper 150degree karcher steam cleaner, brings anything up like new. "reconditioned" parts anyone?  ________________________________________ 306 rallye reproduction decals (full sets/individual decals) | 306 b-pillar textured vinyl weatherstrips306 slam panel esso stickers | 306 yellow / orange / pension fund red side door badges gti6 inlet manifold badges | 306 rear boot badges (p2/p3) winner of Extraction of toys from prams with outstanding vigour award 2009 [source: gti6 owners club] |

Funny, I used Gunk when I first cleaned my engine bay and it came out great! Just wiped it all over, left a few minutes, agitated with a brush and then rinsed off, everything came up great!________________________________________ Bye bye Sundance Kid |

I use this, it's great on alloys and engine bays, dilute it with water to make 25liters and than spray it on, use a pressure washer to get it off for better results. it doesnt harm your paint if oversprayed but i wouldnt use it to wash the whole car with tho. We use it on tractors and combines too and it brings them up like new.clicky ________________________________________ My GTi6 track projectWhite Rallye project |

TFR is great stuff but it is acidic(goes without saying really  ), as daveyboy says use sparingly! Edit: Not so much of a worry on wheels, great for removing brake dust/grime. ________________________________________ I Live for the 306 TEAM CHERRY PINK RALLYE 2008 BMW ///M 320d |

Nice! I'll be cleaning my underbody soon. I'm doing the rear mounts just now so it's back end is up in the air with exhaust and spare wheel off. I'll give it a good scrub with Surfex HD followed by a pressure wash and then underseal the car with some Bilt & Hamber Dynax stuff. |
