  1. Snots needs a touch up in some areas - need to get the existing polish off.

    Ta.
     
  2. Sugar soap.. its alkaline so won't dissolve you fingers too quickly or send you on a trip with the fumes. Oh and its cheaper than thinners etc.:D
     
  3. It'll remove wax/Autoglym?
     
  4. Panel wipe is a dewaxer...
     
  5. Just use plenty of hot water and fairy liquid, its very good at stripping polish and waxes off and then after that use panel wipe
     
  6. Any good names for suppliers of panel wipe, tack cloths, etc...usual painting stuff?
     
  7. I use rust
     
  8. I use UPOL system 20, get the slow one, this gives you time to beable to wipe it off before it dries
     
  9. I'm sure my mum used to clean the carpet with that in the 70s...
     
  10. o_O I think its pure petroleum
     
  11. You should have a automotive paint supplier localish to you... I've never found anywhere else that's cheaper!! :cool:
     
  12. naptha is refined petrol and its what panel wipe is
    Its also sold as white gas for liquid fuel camping stoves but at a massive price increase
     
  13. Is that what the Coleman fuel is?? :eek:
     
  14. Zed

    Zed Gradually getting grumpier

    Colemans go ok on unleaded. :D
     
  15. Sorry...it's "2001" I was thinking of ;). Cleans a big, big carpet...
     
  16. Yes coleman fuel is panel wipe lol but lots more expensive

    Ive ran my coleman for years on unleaded the just soot up a bit quicker thats all
     
  17. I only ever use unleaded in mine.. But that is good to know I can bung some panel wipe through it to clean it!! :cool:
     
  18. I find that bird sh*t is quite good at getting polish off :)
