Default Stubborn Stains

Without wanting to sound like a sale add;

If anyone has any stubborn stains on there car; i.e Insects, Bird @@@, tar etc, then I highly recommend the WuRTH, PVC-Reiniger Type 20. I spent about an hour trying to remove one stain on Saturday with a variety of Cleaning materials but was unsuccessful. One rub of Wurth the next day however, it went almost instantly.

To test it wasn't a fluke I tried again today...and yep. Instant again.

The fluid itself is supposed to be an anti-static PVC cleaner but i'm amazed at it's versatlity. It also works wonders on the mirrors, no smear marks and sparkling clean.



I'll try and post a supplier link later.

Is this something I could buy here in Germany? I have some stains that appear to be sap from a pine tree, but it has discolored the paint.

Many apologies for the delay. Trying to find a web link for this product is seemingly impossible. I came across the product through my Dad who uses it all the time for his job (Signage Trade). He then started using it for just about anything...mostly motorbikes etc...

I'll pop down the Factory later on to get the catalogue he orders from to try and get some contact info.

In the meantime, a cataogue link on Wurth's website provides more info on the product;
http://www.wurth.co.uk/catalogue/pdfs/UK-CD_03_1210.pdf (English)

Whilst looking for a link there are loads of other Wurth products specifically for cars. Half of them are probably this product re-badged, but would be reluctant to try them after knowing this one works so well. Many people seem to rate Wurth's Clean Solve. The product is detailed in Wurth's UK website but I can only, at the moment, find US links to online shops;

US : http://www.dccarcare.com/wurthcleansolve.html

Amazon.com: 32oz. Can of the Wurth Clean-Solve: Automotive

Will post UK contact info today if I can get the catalogue.

Wurth is in fact a German company so I'd imagine the products should be farily easy to get hold of.

Spoke to me Dad yesterday about this and he either phones Wurth up directly to order, or orders through a rep which frequently pops in.

Apols for not having a direct link...thought there would be a much easier purchase sources.

Anyways...telephone and contact numbers for most countries are on the following page;
