I'd have thought a trip to your workshop, up on the lift & bob's your aunty!

Ok, I know you'll get a fair ammount of water & crud everywhere, & will take you weeks to clean it all up, but it's a start......... Confused

Well I want to know how to detail behind the headlamps - I was shocked when TFC removed one of mine yesterday to see the dealers hadn't cleaned behind the headlamps last time it went in for work Whistle


It could be worse, they could have cleaned behind the headlights like they did with ours it seems resulting in misting lamps.

Beware the dealer over-clean! Evil or Very Mad
