Ok. So how come no red floor tiles?😂😂
The beauty of Swisstrax is that you can go as wild as you dare..........

I chose to go with black and grey tiles for a restrained look..........................which I then undid by painting the door fire-engine red! :giggle:

Because of the modularity of this floor, there is no reason why I can't add a red band later down the track.

I want to keep the look clean so I don't think I will be going this far, I would be happy to paint the walls in a flat grey and use the bright red to be the talking point.
Agree, that's prob OTT. Simple and clean is good. I do think the stripes makes it pop just enough though :rockon:

Anyone else get this yellow stuff coming out of their wheels after a wash?

I use Bowdens products and assume it is the wheely clean reacting, but i do go for a quick spin after using it, and the wheels get a good squirt with the pressure washer after using it, after washing them and also after using the happy endings. Usually comes out the next day after washing when i go for a drive.
It’s a PIA and pings my OCD big time…

I too am/was a Bowden's fan but I find their wheel cleaner just too aggressive. I have recently changed to ceramic pads on the front and soon will do the same on back. Far less need to use any of the iron removing cleaners.

@Zacaxel that's annoying, looks like rust. Haven't had the same experience with B's fortunately. When their stuff reacts it turns purple, could it just be rusty water running out from behind the wheel cap off the rotor hat? If it doesn't happen with just straight water it might be worth sending them a pic as they're unusually helpful.

Rust from your brake discs after washing coming off when you drive.

It's most likely rust from the rotor and hub.........

That said, you really shouldn't be getting that sort of rust staining. Next time you wash the wheels, try using regular car shampoo to eliminate/prove if the Wheely Clean causing that sort of thing. Other than that, perhaps a bad lug nut?

Which ceramic pads have you gone with and are you happy with the amount of dust that comes off them and is there a compromise in braking.

Yes, that contemplation was very useful, I now see the error in my ways. To make it up, I decided to clean various other things too..........

The mowers.......
