sound mate,will give it a try :thumb:

[Spudly]

Trust me that stuff used correctly will shift anything from anything, its really good!

[bakerznova]

have you used it on interior before - seats ect...

[Spudly]

Many times mate im a valeter and thats what we use, it will shift oil from roof linings, mould from seats everything, needs to be diluted properly though so read the labels before using it!

did you buy it completely standard ?

[dj_wudgey]

yea apart from it had reclinable buckets in it!! i got rid off them and put some full buckets in but the origional interior is saved for when i want that back in!! ive kept everything to put it back standard if i want to but tbh i dont think ill change the suspension back or take the webbers off!! ive spent loads on gm pannels as it has to be done properly lol but i kept it as close to standard as i could bear just wheels a few engine bits and suspension nd the seats and thats all id do!! id never change how she looks or put a cage or owt in i dont want to drill into her she's to good for that!!

[1chiz]

Autoglym do a great upholstery cleaner, however be warned you should do all the seats all over as it sometimes changes the shade ever so slightly and looks odd when only do one.
