I was sat in the car most of the day after the rain started

I rather be sitting in the car in the rain rather than go home and get moaned at by the misses and kids.

Say hello next time


AL Did not know the car had wax oil on untill i just tryed to clean the lower sections of the engine bay and around bulkhead

heat gun and a cloth ( lots of cloths ). Very messy.

Or White spirits should work. Again, very messy.

Or if you can take it somewhere with a good steam washer, and get them to blast it. If cleaning underneath....then they can get covered in the stuff instead of you lol
