Great job Cliff
That little Mini is now looking very proud, you can even see it smiling. If you were to sell it, it would fetch so much more now. Last edited by Dallas; 4th June 2018 at 21:44.. |

Only a bit of banter Cliff..............I'm actually quite a fan of the original Mk1 Binis The red/black combo looks great too!

Hi Cliff,
Does the phrase "Technique trumps product every time" sound familiar. . She looks lovely. Just don't copy the thread onto the DW forum . Regards and Respect. Andy. |

Very sound advice . Todays little task was going to be a brief cleanup in the engine bay, but lo and behold, bonnet won't open . Looks like it's going to be a case of removing an arch liner to gain access. The folks who do my servicing have said if I can wait a couple of weeks I can pop over in the evening and they'll put it up on their ramps and sort it for me . At least it will be clean under there . Suppose that's what you get for neglecting cars . Cliff

What did you do to the plastic trim?

Got the dirt off by scrubbing it over with some Turtle Wax upholstery cleaner that I happened to have to hand, then dressed it with some Gyeon Q2 tyre dressing. To be honest, I find the plastic trim a nightmare to keep looking nice. The Gyeon usually lasts well on tyres, but not tried it on plastic trim before, so it'll be interesting to see how it holds up.

Daft design though. The end of the inner part of the release cable is held in place by a small hook, and had become dislodged. Very easy to do, but just as easy to put it back (once you've gained access). Cliff
