Brewing up in the car ey!

Must get the sunday roast stains out of mine...damned gravy.



I just use one of those spray foamy interior cleaner things...spray it on nice 'n' thick, agitate it with a nail brush, leave it for a couple of mins., wipe off with a damp cloth, rinsing often. Repeat a couple of times on the gravy stains if required. Wizard!!

Smells nice too.


ps..does 'Vanish' work on women? Truck load please!

Yep - me too! 3 squid a can from ASDA (CarPlan or something), and works a treat in next to no time. No stain has beaten it yet, and it doesn't leave a residue!

Got to do whole panels mind, or you'll be left with edges/stains if you try to do a localised clean.
