RE: [doc] Re: Cleaning the Colonel



Can anyone recommend a reasonable company to replace my floor carpets on PSO? They shouldn't be black, and they are looking tatty. It may be a case of replacing the whole of the cockpit carpet. It is a grey interior car from Nov 81. What carpet type and colour should I ask for, also, being a RHD the shape is not the same as the LHD, so it will need to be a company that can steam the carpet into shape in the car. Not a small job, but needs to be done before the NEC,

Kind regards to all,

Stephen.

Hiya Dean

Glad you made it back safe with your new toy!

I personally used 'vanish' applied with some damp kitchen roll
applied with the grain of the bodywork and then washed off and
sprayed some of DMUK new cleaner / polish over it.... the vanish gets
off loads of black muck and the cleaner leaves a shean covering over
it.   Any stickier bits .....have you tried metholated spirits or
even white spirit  (((   Just avoid any paintwork :)    )
