Okay like most I have armorall lying around from gifts etc

Use it to detail the tyres mostly

My doorhandles and glovebox handle thingo are nearly white

Most people say armorall is the devils work etc.

My older revhed mates all say hit the handles repeatedly with the armorall

will eventually make em look the correct color

what is everyone using my handles look bad

rest of the interior is pretty resonable

other than the remnants on my dash of the black silicon previous owner used to attach the boost gauge

that will be the next mission I guess

Any suggestions????????????????

I accidentally got a couple of drops of the stuff on my new leather gear boot. instantly took the color out of it. Now on the blue leather there is a couple of white spots that I'm stuck with. Not looking forward to the comments that passengers may come up with ;)

I wont be using it again. Slightly Damp cloth FTW

Armor all is evil

It's basically a mix of solvent and sealer. The solvent gets in and attacks the plastic (vinyl / whatever) and the sealer seals it in to let it keep attacking.

You be the judge.

And it costs about 25c a bottle to make.

I detail cars for a living and have found anything Maguiars is the shit! Not only do they work well but all their products smell good too, doesnt smell like chemicals. Amour all is absolute crap and will cause damage eventually.

If the plastic wont go back to its original colour try a bee's wax, that fixes most things! If that fails you may have to replace the parts effected.

Hope this helps.

I use Mothers Naturally Black, you can buy from any auto shop.

Pour onto the plastic, let it sit on it for a couple of minutes, then massage it into the plastic. Then buff it after it has dried. Its a longer process than all the typical black restorations, but this is different as it isnt just some black liquid to hide the faded plastic.

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • I believe @Duncan has given it a crack at Mt Buller before (in actual race conditions)
    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.
