Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
That's some serious coating.
I've used brake cleaner on a cloth on the outside of the volvo to prep it for Rain X.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Not sure about the phone calls but the scam emails are getting better. One got through my spam filter last night telling me there was suspicious activity on my online banking account. Right bank, right logos, proper spelling/grammar, everything. "Click this link to verify your identity and reactivate your account". DELETE.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Ever try to find Red Rubber Grease in an actual shop anywhere?
Such a shame all the little stockists went out of business over the years, the look of of unknowing or the exclamation of 'I have a 30 year old tin I use, but no i don't sell it' is all i'm getting. Oh well back to fleabay |

I was in there yesterday and I actually commented to them on the exact same thing, having spotted large pots of it on their shelves. http://www.motosofkenley.org/
