We use this to get all finger prints and other marks off customer cars. Only definetly try it somewhere unseen as sometimes the old sun attacked rubber doesn't like it.Agreed with above somewhere. Get onto it ASAP. Once this dries it will become a whole lot harder.We had a spray paint can explode all over my car,got onto it straight away with prepsol and rags, got the majority off. The only stuff we didn't get was the bits we didn't see (dark blue paint on a slightly lighter blue) but it is not something I am worried about (the car is 26 years old), it was my father that did it and he paid for the car.

Eew Aah, I know that feeling, the same thing happened to me in Bris about 20 years ago with my VL Turbo (only bought it because of the Nissan RB30 engine) It got covered in industrial crap that ate into the paint in 2 days. The guy that made me park it there died suddenly from a brain ambulism 3 weeks later. And they say voodoo doesn't work. Mate at least it wll come clean, and it will be better than it was it was and if you get some cash you will be able to get some mods or something nice for it.

Yeah it should look better than brand new.Yeah mods sound good but I will probably wait till the car has 10k on the clock then head straight to Nizpro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if for some reason a really really cluey mech at Ford for some unknown reason decided to read the flashes and it said less than what he has on his records, then there's no other explination other than if it's been unofficially flashed.SO tempting... Edit: I mean, who the f*ck is going to check the flash count? If I get it serviced by my trusted mechanic and not Ford, if I did have an insurance or warranty claim, there's no reason why I'd have to take it back to Ford other than to have that specific item looked at.It's a risk, but you only live once...

But unless you get some inexperienced tool to do the car you shouldn't have any problems anyway. Now you've done enough ks to show up any inherent faults. Remember once you make more grunt your rear diff support bushes are gonna flog out really quickly, so you need to change them, this requires a complete diff cradle drop, and the diff hat and the bolt or your going to get real bad backlash.
