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,

I can remember way back when i had my MK3 Capri's i used to use old engine oil on the bumper plastics,it really did work well!

probably autoglym intensive tar remover would be good.

ive always used and will always use autoglym products.

Yup it works well but smells abit,

Irember my mate trying to sell a Astra estate, paint was dull & faded it put people off,
other than that it was anice car,

itold him to give it a wipe over with an oily rag, it looked nice and shiney after that
told him to tell the buyer to keep it out of the rain

I used to find if a used too much oil the flys and midges use to stick to the bumpers

That is so perfect it's unreal

I so need a diablo estate... I so need monies

Just hold on to that thought mate - I'll try to save it for you...

You're lucky I don't live further up North otherwise mine would be on its way this week after what I've seen for sale 180miles away.

I couldn't afford it if I wanted too. I'm looking what? £2,000 for yours maybe? Then an extra £500 insurance for the 110

£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!
