Title: Do I Buy new Wipers or Paint them?
Post by: Peaches on 11 December 2006, 11:08
Buy new sets of window wipers or slap hammerite on em  ;D

If anyone has some tips on painting them go ahead, their a bit rusty and may have test spots of spray paint on them now  :embarassed: which um may not have taken lol

With your "list" I would have thought these would be low priority!  :D

Best if you buy new. But if you replace the blades its only the arms left so maybe some black hammerite will suffice.

sunroof lacquer - best option is to strip it back, and repaint it.
paint chips with an overly long t cut needed - don't use t-cut, it's sh!t. Get a bottle of safecut, much better, and use it 2-3times then polish with autoglym resin polish
engine poish up . not sure about a steam clean yet
i need speaker pods
window wipers - do you mean the arms or the bits with the rubber in, if the arms, then just hammerite them
bumper and trim needs a bit of tlc - kiwi boot polish, and some simoniz back to black keeps the water off an all
interior clean
