Re: Chestnut Leather
iuse, turps on arag for tar spots/removal,
some say thats not wise, but it works for me,, ithink is included in the Mix of Most car polish anyway
so carnt see it doing any harm,
for bumper trim and plastics, ifind Baby oil does the trick but it only seems to last aweek or so before it dulls off again,

Re: Chestnut Leather
probably autoglym intensive tar remover would be good.grasmere59 wrote:Whats the best stuff for getting tar off?

Re: Chestnut Leather
I couldn't afford it if I wanted too. I'm looking what? £2,000 for yours maybe?

Re: Chestnut Leather
£2000? I wish. If I thought I could get £2k it would be gone already. Back in September when I was supposed to be getting that 520i I wasn't even looking for that much. Is it really an extra £500 for the 20bhp on insurance though? That's shocking!Bailes1992 wrote: I couldn't afford it if I wanted too. I'm looking what? £2,000 for yours maybe?
