Sorry Matty I've been out all day a clean rag will do CRC or WD is also excellent at removing stubborn grim (not on cloth vinyl only) and spray and wipe to remove the residue left by the CRC
Cheers mate

hey guys check out my trims... i know, there fb trims... i like them better than the ek ones...

thanks for the tips on cleaning them... i ended up going with the jif... wow that jif is good shit...

check out before (on the left) & after, but before the chux, (on the right)...

then my wife, nicole, the clean freak... introduced me to the chux majic eraser, just ad water... now if you thought jif was good, well... i'll let the pictures do the talking

this was taken before i used the chuk eraser... they already look good, dont you think...

well... check this out, it doesn't get much better than this... (i only did one row, can you pic which one)....haa

hey buy the way that jif was awesome on the dash trim...

before..

after...

Hi Matty,

Those Chux Magic Eraser's are awesome, i use them to keep my Slot Car track clean but i never thought to try one on the trim.

Well i know what i am doing next weekend.
