How do you get the little buggers up to clean all the wax out of the crevices?

Just pull them there held down by spring tension, quite easy.

Get someone to spray them and then grab the little bugger when it is out

or wait until the temperature falls to -12C again and then they stick out  :laugh:

Put the wax on correctly you messy bar steward.  :grin:

Jesus Snoop, don't shout that out too loud, the mk2'ers nearly took a heart attack when they found out we paid £80 for mats  :laugh: :laugh:

Seriously though, they are exceptionally good and very handy little swabs. You can re-use them, although I dont know how long for.
