Fairmonts/fairlane's or similar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On this subject can anyone recommend a sweet product to clean the beige. Being a mechanic the days I do drive my car I accidentally get sh*t everywhere :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
