Just finished bufferbeam off, has come out well. Will definitely use this approach in the future. Also had a try with some tdm cables on the 47. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

boeing7572t6 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Thanks for that, I think in some countries including mine(Cyprus) it is also known as denatured alcohol . I’ll give it a try.

Hi, Looking good! What do you plan to do about the perennial - Heljan - problem with the Serck radiator grills? Are the Cl37 grills and marker light surrounds from the MMP Mainline Diesel detailing kit? I have those to do too. 2 hours ago, boeing7572t6 said: Thanks for that, I think in some countries including mine(Cyprus) it is also known as denatured alcohol . I’ll give it a try.

Good point about the Dettol, I hate the small almost as much as other paint removal chemicals and it lingers!
