Title: Ex smokers car!
Post by: dkw on 17 February 2011, 16:29: When I picked up the golf, the woman I bought it off said she had a thing for air fresheners!! hmmm she wasn't wrong, I think there was 7 or 8 of them hanging in there and stuffed under the grab handles! sadly I think they had just absorbed the smell of her fag smoke!!

Lots of the plastic trim has that grubby sticky feel to it, what's the best thing to clean it off with?
