Rob84 Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 Just finished the first stage of cleaning of me car for trax this morning. i've got 95% of the baked on bugs and flies of the front of me car and wing mirrors. so that saves me a job next saturday and whoever said auto glym tar remover is good for flies, is wrong! it did feck all to shift em ended up using Auto glym super resin polish and with some elbow grease, the vast majority have come off. any1 else started cleaning, or doing little bits for next weekend?

Mike C Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 am starting 2moro. Gotta get the wheels off to give it a good clean, and i need a part, but dunno whether there's anyway I can get it before Trax, gotta see how fast delivery times are or if not it means a lengthy drive in the week unless I can fin somewhere else! Can't wait tho! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
