Re: [doc] Cleaning the Colonel

Cheers,
i'd thought about the old hair dryer routine but was doing it a mid-day 
after the suns heat making them pretty hot anyway.... i think it's the fact 
that they'd been put on 20 yrs ago didn't help them come off cleanly.

Tried white spirit.... has taken some sticky off, not the thickest areas 
yet.
