Alcohol Problem

Hi all

I bought some side rubbing strips to stop my doors getting battered in car parks (again!). I hoped it would come with alcohol wipes to wipe the door with before fitting but it didn't. Any ideas where I can get some? My local Halfords and MotorWorld can't help or what I can use instead to prep the surface?

Thanks

Rog

PS - Sorry to all you alcoholics and councellors who thought this post was about something completely different

Seriously, its all I'd ever use. Fitted few rubbing strips now (not on GLs), the shampoo does a good job...washing up liquid is better cos it leaves a dryer surface but can fook yer paint over time. Just dry properly.

Anyway yer choose ta do it, I hope they stop the Asda car park Barstewards that make it there duty ta tw*t yer door every visit.

red eye will degrease anyfink. . . .hic

methylated spirits do a corking job, but make sure you re-wax the any bits that you wiped down, but aren't covered by the rubbing strips.

Only trouble is getting them of the crusty old p**s heads rattling around some of the dingy corners of this forum

go ta ya locul car paint shop ,und get sum PANEL WIPE

Cheers for the advice guys. Went for the shampoo/warm water and through drying option plus some good old elbow grease. Fitted the strips just now - This is the result.



I think they look really good against the Ascot Green... and hopefully will stop ignorant old gits from damaging it again!!

Cheers

ffs painting the front disc red might look pretty, but it sure as hell won't do much for your braking ability !
