With people getting aftershave/perfume for Xmas we had a discussion about favourites and ones we'd like.

I got strange looks when I said I'd love an aftershave that had a smell a bit like classic cars - leather, oil, petrol, hot metal............is it just me?

Proper MAN smell that is!!!

Clean tools off with it. Also more of a fan of plus gas

Use it for spraying inside the door locks in the winter, cleaning tools and light degreasing, spray it inside dizzy caps and electrical connectors, it makes a nice engine bay dressing when selling a motor, obviously after it has been steam cleaned to within an inch of it's life

Having had a straight four Ford Corsair break down with a good sized iceberg on the side of the carburettor one morning on the way to Southend for a fishing trip.... I concur with you ...

Cleaning & lubricating the airbag connectors under the seats of French cars to return the airbag warning light on the dash to normal service - i.e goes off when it's supposed to & stays off. Often solved by just wiggling the connector or unplugging & plugging back in but some need the WD treatment.
Just done it on my son's Renaultsport Megane.
