Re: [doc] Cleaning the Colonel

This probably isn't a lot of help to you now, but if you'd have heated up  
the stripes with a hair dryer and slowly peeled them away they would have come  
off fairly cleanly. But as Mike said, get some white spirit and a rag and 
start  scrubbing like a mother. That should do the trick.

Been  scrubbing away and several buckets of mucky water and half a bottle of  
baby oil later it 'aint looking too bad.

However, I've had to  remove some non-original stripes from the body in the 
wrong place..... but  what can you use to remove the glue residue after 
removal of the  stripes?  I tried T-Cut in a small area but that seemed to 
change the  colour of the steel.

Also, r.e:stripes:  I'm sure the double pin  stripes around the rear windows 
are original.... but outlining the "T" on  my roof is also double striped and 
looks a little over the top..... it it  an original fearure or can it be 
removed?

Will be in need of  Carpets once the Clutch is done, and my door headliners 
are fine, but the  centre headliner is a saggy, dirty mess.... any  suppliers?
