DIY Repair on a Rolls Royce Silver Spirit - PART 46

[@a1svideos557]

Take a pressure washer and a brush on a drill head to clean it. Works wonders on car interior carpets if you have them out

[@michaelmcpherson4130]

yup thats what id do

[@sanmiguel4019]

Agree with you that would be the right method, but I think it's too far gone!

[@AndytheWhite]

Was just about to say this! Well worth a go and worked wonders for me in the past

[@Lunatic3984]

100%, works for me every time too. A good upholstery cleaner, Shiny Garage Fabric Cleaner/ADBL Bonnet/Pol Star (Koch Chemie), plus a cleaning brush for the cordless screwdriver, wash out with the pressure washer at the end.

[@tiporari]

Yep. Plenty of aggressive cleaning solvents you can use cheaply to remove grime and oil staining. I love LA's totally awesome cleaner available at dollar tree near me for $1.25 a quart. It's the same as Castrol Super Clean and purple power.

[@aquatics117]

My wife is currently trying to give birth in the hospital and I'm sat extremely bored in the waiting rooms! Thanks Vince I needed this ❤️

[@JamesRea-yp2ci]

Hope the baby is extracted more easily than the stains in the carpet!

[@johnboi8346]

Hope it’s the right colour.

[@aquatics117]

@@johnboi8346 As long as it's not green and covered in suds

[@Mymatevince]

Good luck with everything👍👍👍👍

[@thomoism]

I had a similar experience when a bottle of fairy liquid was left on for a very long time. I had a washing machine so full of sud's it took ages to clean out and the stain remained faintly. So it's a pressure washer job. Peter T Wales UK

[@ctrlaltdelboy]

Hi Vince, the problem with the Green stain i think is because you are adding water to mineral oil. Water and oil when mixed will emulsify, and you will constantly get foaming. you need to use a product that will breakdown the oil. Acetone or IPA might be a solution

[@charlesdeens8927]

Ya, I was thinking maybe he should try break cleaner on the green stain. That with a pressure washer might get it out.

[@sharp1979as]

Wonder if Vince has any IPA haha 😅😙

[@timeggleton8142]

Hi Vince, When RR do their wood work they build it up to approximately 1mm of varnish and the buff it back to 0.2 mm so if you build up and then wet and dry it though the grades of paper to 2 or 3000 you should be able to achieve a similar level of finish that RR do 😊

[@gimble447]

I agree, but to my reckoning in addition to what you are saying it is easier when doing it himself to use a spray lacquer so then the prep and application closely matches that of clear coating/ lacquering a car, in fact you could even use automotive clear lacquer, to the point that after the fine sanding that you rightly suggest he could even then move to polishing compound if left to harden properly first of course, although to be fair in this case I don’t see the point, Vinces finish looks more than adequate to me, but that’s just my opinion 😊

[@EsotericArctos]

I think the dark in the door caps seems to match the dark in the dash, so I think they have turned out really nice. You're really doing well with this.

[@LouisPaterson]

Watching this to motivate me whilst working on a 2001 Renault clio window regulator. Not quite a rolls royce but it'll do

[@Mymatevince]

I hope it went well for you 👍

[@BlackAdderall]

That chrome pen worked better than I thought it would. Thanks for the video!

[@Mymatevince]

Thanks Sheryl, I fear though that it will not be reflective. After reading the comments, I think this light may not light up the road as much as the other side and could well be an MOT failure! May have to revisit this one 👍

[@MrGooseberry86]

Hi, I have been watching your channel for about 3 months now and have learnt alot from you. Like yourself I need to know how things work and how it can be fixed. I have been in the motor trade for 10 plus years but now I am a full time dad to my 2 year old daughter..... and you have given me the up and go to start fixing things up......... and possibly of buying and selling...... could you give us a show and tell with the tools you use fixing this. Keep it up fella

[@sp523]

More great progress Vince! Keep your head up and keep pressing on. You do good detailed work and that is why some of these “simple” jobs take a long time. I’m looking forward to your next video!

[@fosterb247]

It's not a box from Amazon Vince... It's a box from Rolls Royce circa 1988. There's a gazillon fixes in this box and I'm lovin' it 👍 Thanks 🤓

[@Mymatevince]

😂👍

[@4thStump]

Vince. Every episode is riverting. With every accomplished fix we applaud your patience. Keep going mate, you'll get to the end soon !

[@RasterYT]

Hi Vince, just want to thank you for all the videos you’ve made on the rolls Royce, you’ve inspired me to buy a project car of my own. I’ve been modifying my daily cars for over a year now (since I could drive) and I went out and bought a BMW E46 318ci which needs a lot of work. If it wasn’t for you I don’t think I would have bought it. Once again thanks vince and I hope for more success on your rolls :)

[@Mymatevince]

Thank you, I hope your restoration goes well👍👍👍

[@RasterYT]

@@Mymatevincethanks vince, when we get our cars sorted, hopefully we can see them at some sort of car show! I would love to see your craftsmanship in person

[@Mymatevince]

@@RasterYT It may not look quite so good in person😂

[@RasterYT]

@@Mymatevince dunno about that, it’ll be better then mine haha, once the paint is done on your roller, it will look amazing, the front near side wing alone looks amazing so I have high hopes for the rest of the car

[@alext8828]

Vince, on the door caps, you can use a gel stain over the varnish to darken them. Gel stain is used on sealed wood, either shellac or varnish. You can get the glass finish of the dash if you sand it and apply the finish with a cloth. Be very careful as it might be veneer. There's a product called Wink for getting out rust. It's phosphoric acid. It works but be careful.

[@stevetealey2804]

Keep up the great work your doing on the rolls well done.

[@markhowell8539]

I definitely would have jet washed the carpet, and if unsuccessful dyed the whole lot. Great to watch. Really enjoy your channel

[@RetroTechRepair]

Another great video in this epic series. Really starting to look good. I did chuckle when you cut to the scene by torch/flashlight reminds me so much of many a day I've spent working on cars in the past. Good Stuff! thanks for sharing.

[@Mymatevince]

There isn't enough hours in the day for this car! Thanks so much for watching Roger. Hoping your keeping well👍

[@chrisred87]

For the carpet bit you stitched, find a part of the same carpet that matches but is hidden, trim off some of the pile. Use PVA glue to lightly coat the area you stitched (as little glue as pos) then blow the pile onto the glue. The trick is have the pile you trimmed in small pieces and use a very light smear of glue. It will take the eye off it and look loads better.

[@CannibalShadow]

Turning into a right silver fox there Vince 😂 loving this series.

[@richardgreene3460]

For the headlights on my Spur, I used aluminum foil with the shiny side up! I glued it on top of the damaged chrome finish! When the glass cover was reinstalled, it looked perfect!

[@shevshep]

Thoroughly enjoying the RR videos, yours is a car that keeps on giving. Can't wait for episode 47.

[@urglegurgle5807]

When I was a kid, I found that a bottle of matey bubble bath would travel very nicely down the bannister of our stairs. Had hours of fun shooting it down the bannister, and catching it at the bottom. Until we slipped up, the bottle cracked leaking the contents onto the carpet. The suds just kept coming, and we ended up having an especially clean patch of the carpet for years. Gave a nice fresh smell to the hall way too. Kind of the opposite to the rolls carpet.

[@dodgydruid]

Spotting the needle and thread, I picked up a set of "easy-thread" needles few weeks back on Aliexpress, was like a pound for a large selection in a tidy wooden capsule like holder. All you have to do is catch a loop of the thread you are using up against the eye's little tang and that's it... threaded. What an insanely useful little thing, no more messing about going cross eyed trying to thread the buggers or using those stupid metal things that lose the little wire.

[@SW-ci9zv]

I think the door caps look BETTER than the dashboard - I feel they look MORE like PROPER wood - A good job done.

[@hellooohowareudoing]

I love this series - I'm sad that it seems to be nearing the end now! Hopefully you do another car project but after this one, I doubt it 😆

[@clivewitney3557]

A few years back there was a company in Birmingham that used to replate the headlight crome. Had to box them up and post and within a couple of days replated lens returned, had it done to a pair of MGF lenses which failed mot was small cost compared to replacement. I would also recommend pressure washer for carpet pretreatment with oil remover

[@toddschroeder8971]

RR probably have a tint in the varnish. I think you did a fantastic job!

[@wingzero743]

Don’t get discouraged mate I want to see this finished your doing a amazing job and finish line is not to far keep going I love these car vids give me the courage to work on my own car

[@kevinoakes1171]

Vince, as many people have said here, if the green stain is oil, you need to use a solvent to break it down before you can clean it. Probably most solvents will work, turps, white spirit, thinners, even petrol or your favourite, IPA !. Great video btw.

[@jaywalker1233]

You can achieve that flawless gloss finish on the door caps - you just need to keep on with varnish/dry/sand, varnish/dry/sand! I used to work for a narrow boat building company and the works manager wanted a “wow” feature on every new boat to be a mirror gloss fitted counter top. Each one he did himself using a two-pack varnish - took about 20 coats and about two weeks (not full time obvs). The result was always stunning - just a pity that the first time it was used it would start getting scratched…

[@lukedavis436]

I kinda wanna restore an old Volvo as a project, sounds fun

[@wisher21uk]

Top man maybe that is fairy washing up liquid ? Can’t wait for it to be completed looking better every time I see it 😊

[@chrisrose2522]

hi vince , the fluid used in the suspensions spheres i think is glycol based , so try to find a cleaner that neutralises glycol . really enjoy watch your vids 👍

[@flashbond]

Chrome pen was like a magic. For the first time I've seen something like this

[@Sunnypim12]

The most funniest video I’ve ever seen in my life, cracks me up to see you using a Chrome pin instead of taking all that cover out and sprayed it with chrome spray

[@maxedoutmegablith6473]

Hi Vince, when I was a kid my dad helped get me out of troubles. I had stained the carpet with some sort of chemical. I forget now what I was doing but my mom would have been very upset. Dad used Lighter Fluid and removed the stain. I know that is strange, but he used lighter fluid and then washed it using a carpet cleaner and the stain was gone. Since that happened, I have used that method time and time again and it actually works. It may help you remove the green stains. Just a thought and maybe worth a try. At any rate, We love your videos! I always tell my wife, Hey Vince has made a video and we both enjoy them immensely!

[@Mymatevince]

Great dad hack, I would have never thought to try lighter fluid👍 Really happy to hear you both watch the videos. Thank you.

[@steverowe9024]

Hi Vince, have you thought that the green liquid could actually be Fairy Liquid ?

[@Beetlefan]

Vince try and use a pressure washer on the stain, the lighter fluid seems a good tip too. Good luck from a fellow Silver spirit owner👍

[@StorMBattlePirates]

Yes lighter fluid good as it petrol also good for getting sticky labels off as it melts the glue also nail varnish remover gets ink out of cloth.

[@Boogie_the_cat]

That's just like me, always playing with chemicals as a child. BTW my dad's reaction to a spill in his precious Isuzu Trooper would have been a lot different.

[@RSFred555]

Instead of green hydraulic fluid it could be some kind of laundry detergent or liquid soap that has leaked out of a bottle that was left in the trunk. Love this series thanks again for sharing.

[@AcornElectron]

23:00 legitimately laughed. “It’s a clown car!” 😂❤ Keep on keeping on Vince and, as always, stay safe.

[@fathertiresias8561]

Hi Vince, I've removed many stubborn stains from car carpets using a product called Elbow Grease from B & M's. Spray it on, scrub it in with a stiff brush and and rinse it out with the carpet vac but with plain water in the carpet solution chamber. It is brilliant. And the best thing about it is that its very cheap. I've found it far better than any purpose made upholstery or carpet cleaner in both the cars and the house.

[@DJ_Sycottic]

You could have tried French polishing the wood on the doors. I learned how to do it with KZbin videos and since then I never varnish anymore. You did a good job though, well done Vince. The Roller's looking great...

[@gary1705]

As for the green patch on the boot carpet just put a small container for all your cleaning & polishing items held in by self adhesive Velcro over the top of the stain 💁

[@azmoz1321]

Or you could put a plant over it :-)

[@rwdplz1]

I think you're right about some of those rug cleaning videos.

[@OldCharlieRum1903]

Hi Vince. Loving this series. I too share your frustrations as I have an F reg Mini which seems to have been the junior partner of your circus clown!

[@Mymatevince]

Hahaha😂 At least I'm not the only owner of a clown car!

[@angelamcmahon]

Doing very Vince, keep at it. You've had a tough year so don't worry too much.

[@maxstress8427]

I use to work at a place that sold used cars, I cleaned and detailed the cars when they brought them in. Most of the cars didn't require much cleaning, some required a lot of work. Every so often they would get a trade in and them cars would be all mess up. When i cleaned the carpets i used Mean Green Cleaner & Degreaser. Mean Green will take out any stain you can think of, i believe it will get rid of the rust stain and that green stain. It works so well i actually use it when i clean my house.

[@policewitnesspoplar4865]

Hi, excellent video ,... White Vinegar will remove the rust marks , and Petrol should remove the LHM stains , I think , (depends on if it's mineral, or synthetic) . I'd wait till the carpet is thoughtfully dry before doing this .

[@yeovil07]

If there's any tufts of the grey carpet in the cleaners brushes you could glue those onto the stitching of the hole to see if it would look better.

[@Mymatevince]

Good idea 👍👍

[@JKanavalla]

Good quality hand dish washing liquid works in oil quite well. I use those in car mat quite often.

[@DavidDeLuge]

Such a great series 😀👍🏻

[@Ladfixesmachines]

When u mentioned about the front roller turning on that carpet washer its always spins on bissells because the belt that drives it is connected to the water pump which is also belt driven from the main motor other carpet washers use a belt lifter tension pulley which lifts the belt up of the motor so the brushes dont spin in tool mode. And some use a mirco switch which also cuts the roller of in tool mode and some use a separate brushroll motor so u can have the roller on or off. For example a Vax carpet Washer A bit like a upright vacuum cleaner.

[@JustinHughesRoberts]

Try green swarfega to breakdown the oils in the carpets etc. And as already suggested use a brush attachment on a drill. But keep the speed on low unless you want to kill the brush prematurely

[@Omega_Mark]

Vince, I've seen some people using power washer to clean carpets. First they soak it with a cleaner, then use high pressure water jet to blast the crap out. It would certainly help with that green spot that just "keeps on giving." I wonder how much of that stuff has leaked all over your trunk under the carpet in that corner...

[@stealthtecify]

I think the wood work is French polished rather than varnished, having said that what you have done is very respectable sir

[@TechGorilla1987]

@12:31 - They do make a carpet seaming tape that adheres when you heat it with a specialty iron or even a clothes iron. It's applied from the back and should be able to go over the stitching.

[@Omega_Mark]

25:14 Vince, I think your headlights need a rubber seal where your glass headlight lens is. It probably got corroded from moisture there. Also, don't forget to put back that rubber seal hanging there where your blue plastic on your blinker is.

[@subdamage]

Hi Vince, when I clean my car carpets and rugs from home, I just use normal washing liquid (like Fairy, Yes or Dawn, just the kind that works on fat/grease) Washing liquid is also perfect on oil stained clothes, never had trouble with stains since I learned this trick. Then a semi stiff brush on my drill and after that I use my pressure washer to rinse it off, if it's a durable rug/carpet you can use the turbo accessory on those stubborn stains.

[@GadgetUK164]

I think with that carpet - maybe try a bit of washing powder and TAED! I did also wonder about Swarfega or something similar that can break down oils and grease. I did laugh as you pointed out how that foam kept coming back :o) I think the four door caps look incredible varnished - I prefer them to the dash lol!

[@Mymatevince]

TAED - I'll have to Google that 👍 The never ending foam, it did make my hands fairy smooth though - 'For hands that do dishes to be as soft as your face... mild green, Fairy liquid' 😂

[@zoerandall-rea4459]

Hi Vince, the green stain I don't think is the LHM fluid, because that's basically oil & shouldn't foam up like that. I would suggest it might have been some sort of detergent spilled in the boot. Hence all the foam.

[@dantheman3162]

Maybe even Fairy Liquid? Green and frothy.

[@victor58010]

Hi Vince - before buying another indicator fitting,maybe you could check if the broken part is ABS plastic. If so,you can repair it by making ABS glue,there are plenty of tutorials on youtube.I Might save you a few pounds.

[@ratgreen]

For the carpet tear, you could hide your threads by glueing some fluffs of carpet (pinched from areas that are not seen) ontop. For the headlight, maybe try brasso or some other non abrasive metal polish. If not then perhaps pay to have them 'wrapped' internally with good quality chrome wrap ?

[@smashyrashy]

Silver masking tape for inside the headlight vince!

[@hearnia2k]

Hey Vince, good to see you back on the Rolls. For the carpet what about putting something absorbant on it? Maybe bicarbonate soda, or perhaps salt? Better still what about something like shake n vac, or Dyson Zorbz? Some of these things might neutralize it or absorb it?

[@DainSmart-vm7pc]

Great show my friend 👍🏻🇬🇧💂🏻‍♀️

[@trevormegson7583]

Can't believe we're on part 46 already.

[@williamharris8367]

Does it conclude with Part 50? I expect that Vince will either drive it away or we get to the see the car being crushed.

[@brendonelton]

LHM is a mineral oil, you need a chemical to break it down, water doesnt really do a good job of breaking the oil away from the carpet, saturate the area with WD40 or fuel, then blast it with ideally a hot water pressure washer. Keep up the good work.

[@clarkpink1955]

Great work vince

[@marcellipovsky8222]

Hi Vince, regarding the stains - something something one part of each - white vinegar + baking soda, let it sit there, rub out a bit and then wash out with water.

[@S3ARCH_N_D3STROY]

Vince I’ve got 2 favourite KZbinrs, you and a bloke I just recently stumbled across called Nekkid Watchmaker. I know you love your watches and his restorations are out of this world. This isn’t a plug for another channel but as soon as I started watching some of his videos I thought to myself, “Vince would love this” Ok onto your video now 😁

[@Zadkiel343]

try not to 'paint' varnish - the brushing you learn when painting isn't good for varnishing. Unlike paint, varnish and lacquer starts to cure almost instantly, within just a few seconds, so if you do short brush strokes repeatedly over the same area you're going over varnish that was already starting to cure and putting brush marks into the varnish, the result over many layers looks patchy and even cloudy. For varnish you want to put a generous amount on the brush and try and apply in single long brush strokes - don't worry too much about it looking thicker in some places than others, it will self-level as it cures and the slight differences will even out over multiple layers

[@clarkpink1955]

Sprayed finish on the wood but vince they look great

[@QsTechService1]

Definitely a project It will take some time to get her the way you want her lol I picked up on a 1981 Mercedes 300SD Turbo charged 5 cylinder diesel It's pretty clean but got lots of work to do on it There ain't really no rust Will be doing some repair videos on it too It takes a long time Plus it's not easy recording and doing the repairs lol Keep the good work going vince Can't wait to see when she's done 👍

[@Mymatevince]

Cheers, I'll check out the videos when you upload them 👍

[@QsTechService1]

@Mymatevince Okay awesome thanks Also about To get the stains out of the carpet if it's a grease When I clean carpets I use a chemical called DW Davies DC99 Chemical that they sell world wide Manufactured Is here in my hometown Racine Wisconsin ...It's a degree wax stripper Maybe they possibly sell it over there.

[@Mymatevince]

@@QsTechService1 Cheers Q👍

[@xxxxx2147]

For the door panel finish it with clear coat lacquer on the wood and for the carpet get strong carpet cleaner from any suitable carpet shop and use drill brush attachment with a pressure washer. If you haven’t got a pressure washer take the carpet to and hand car wash and they’ll do it for you

[@RobertSmith-di5ll]

Its amazing what YOU achieve with that screwdriver

[@Inverius]

Used to work at a full service car wash. When ever we had stains like that we used 2 different things. Mineral spirits and gumout. Just test the mineral spirits in a small area. We use to mix 2 parts water one part mineral spirits.

[@johnrazor8720]

I vote that’s the green stain is a spill of a detergent like Simple Green which was allowed to dry over time. Pressure washer? Do you have self service car wash stations in London?

[@Mymatevince]

My dad has a Karcher pressure washer, I'll try it in a future video 👍 Thanks.

[@fishandreptileinfo]

25:41 Vince maybe use some of that chrome type tape, that air conditioning engineers use on pipes. Just a thought.

[@bobnot.]

The green stain just needs a bit of elbow grease and it will come right out. 😂 Isnt that just the way it always goes with a project there is probably a week of seemingly tiny jobs just waiting to lure you in and eat up your time but best to do them when you see them get them out of the way. Really enjoying the series. Thank you.

[@MurrayMints]

Hey Vince, this is on of the funniest video's ever (unintentionally of course). ***Vinegar neutralises suds from detergent***, give that a go. Keep up these videos mate 👍🏻

[@rovermg25]

Vince u should try power washing the carpet, I did this with some and it worked great. I know u never see people doing it but car carpets are so tough a power washer does them no harm . Worth a try

[@StorMBattlePirates]

Use DW40 to loosen up the rust stain and the hydronic fluid. Used it to get blood out of bedsheet, worked a treat. But be careful rub it to long it will take the die out of cotton don't know about wool carpet.

[@djdime2002]

For the carpet. Put a brush on your power drill, go over it with CAR Carpet cleaner. Make sure it is for cars, not for homes. Then, if you can get one, spray it out with a power washer.

[@fmdof]

detail geek would have that carpet looking brand new

[@dinosaur6756]

You need steam, stain remover, and a pressure washer. Then, use an upholstery attachment for a wet/dry shop vac and vacuum the water out.

[@TinUK74]

Hi Vince, I think the green stain might be concentrated screen wash maybe? Try taking it home and putting it in the bath and agitate it now and again so it can dilute over time possibly?

[@TinUK74]

Edit: hydraulic fluid should not foam that is very bad for hydraulics so that is why I think it’s screen wash possibly

[@Dave64track]

Citrus based solvents are good at getting out oil and brake fluid stains from carpets etc worth a try and not expensive.

[@ricksons1646]

The green stain try using some grease solvent, like the stuff you use to clean carburetors or brake or engine degreaser and for the rust some rust remover will most like to remove it beater

[@DIYRepairHour]

The varnish that was used on the dashboard is probably marine grade. Hence the difference between the doors amd the dash. Marine will settle to be thicker layer and will be darker as well.

[@UserUser-ww2nj]

It could also be shellac varnish , from the way the old stuff flaked off that would be my guess

[@ford1546]

very well done.

[@Arachnoid_of_the_underverse]

With the headlight have you considered silver foil (aluminum tape) over the wear marks ,as you can smooth it to quite a shiny finish and with it behind a lens it wont show?

[@dillyflaps]

love your videos man, you're a good bloke.

[@travellingslim]

If you have some baking soda or cornstarch, you can make a paste with that and a touch of water. Scrub that into the green stain and let it sit for 15-20 minutes to let the paste soak up the oil, then wash off. Might take a few rounds of that but should work a lot better than plain water.

[@bobp6742]

Hi Vince. There is a chemical that you put in carpet cleaners before you do new carpets to stop them frothing up. I use Vax defoamer just pour it onto the stain, it might help or might make no difference.

[@iancollege]

Hi - Hydraulic Fluid (particularly the RR363 stuff) is Hygrophobic - so it absorbs water. When you're agitating the carpet, you're creating an emulsion (like whipping eggs and vinegar to make mayonnaise, but you're adding air bubbles too). The water you're adding is being absorbed by the hudraulic oil and just spreading the oil thinner and thinner. You're right - there's something pretty interesting happening here! It would be interesting to put a bit of hydraulic fluid into a glass and pour in some water (maybe add red food colouring?) and timelapse it. Water absorbtion is a problem in brake systems, and the special Rolls Royce RR363 fluid (probably what the spill was) contains added castor oil to make it more viscous and stick to the moving parts hydraulic system even when cold. I think that continuing to use water/soap is going to reult in you being in an endless loop! Have you tried using some I.P.A - that would be a wonderful conclusion to this saga if it worked, I guess that alcohol might do a better job, or alcohol, then some kind of absorbent powder like baking soda. You might want to get an old bit of carpet, intentionally spill green fluid on it, and do a test run....

[@iancollege]

I should say, I'm not a scientist, but the reason I thought about this, is a crazy story - a friend of mine is a bike mechanic, working on expensive road bikes and eBikes up here in the Newcastle area. He had been working on a bike and unbeknownst to him, a bottle of hydraulic fluid had been knocked over on a shelf above him, and dripping into his water bottle on the countertop which had the lid left off it. It was a hot day and so he downed the water, which by now contained the colourless flavourless hydraulic fluid mixed into it, and because of the hygroscopic nature of the liquid, he was rushed to hospital in an abulance to have his stomach pumped - the liquid was preventing his body from ingesting what it needed and he was very, very poorly indeed and stayed in hospital for a week or so. He made a full recovery but I've always remembered that about brake/hydraulic fluid since then, don't drink it!

[@nik_xr6341]

I think a sponge stick will help you achieve e better glossy finish like the dash, keep up the good work 💪

[@davidclarke9767]

There's one sure way to get rid of the carpet stain in the boot that can of petrol you showed us at first just tip a small drop of that on the carpet get a match and place the match on the carpet light it and the stain will definitely disappear.

[@Stubear22374]

An all purpose cleaner from maguiars and a stiff brush and a jet wash sounds crazy but it’s a good detailers trick and do it on the floor not hanging up as you’ll get more agitation on the mat

[@DanielGauthier-m8t]

Vince, working on an ‘85 silver spur and having a hell of a time finding a direct replacement fuel pump. Do you know of any alternatives?

Apologies, I don't. Luckily for me the fuel pump appears to be working fine (for now) 👍

Sometimes with big projects it does feel like you aren’t making the progress that you would like but actually little bites at things and suddenly you see a massive jump forwards.
