I am constantly getting into trouble for dribbling on my owners trim.

Any recommendations for dribble and other stain removal?

BTW air conditioning should be mandatory in all cars if they wish to transport Bull Dogs

Hector,

I'm sure that your Lord and Master doesn't appreciate dribble (or drivel!) on that nice alcantara trim...

Have you tried Autoglym Car Interior Shampoo?

Failing that a Bib?

It's the 'other' stains bit that bothers me...

TTFN

I was told a certain Mr Ian Cook or was it Nickiy Grist should have been wearing waterproof trousers ;0[~]

I am particularly interested in getting the rain marks off the dash board and door trim.

It has a "leopard skin" look from the time I ran out of fuel in France on the way down to Catalunya. To compound my misery the rain started to come down horizontally into the car. There may be a salt component as well, I don't know if the French would have beeen salting their roads that time of year.

Often the best way to clean the dash/trim etc, is with a sponge and soapy water (but not too much that it pours out of the sponge and runs into the electrics etc!!)

Rinse off with a damp chamois and leave to dry. If necessary, apply some of the trim polish stuff available from all good accessory stores, but this may make it too shiny...

If that doesn't work, then you can always get the car professionally valeted, as they should know all the tricks/chemicals required to perform a decent job.

Pampers baby wipes work wonders on all sorts of stains - even the sort they were designed for !! Post nappy days we still buy them for such nasty jobs.

Anyway Hector, dogs being dogs and all that, shouldn't your head be out the window with streams of slobber running along the exterior bodywork ?

I tried putting my head out of the window just to hear that wonderful Scroogy Sport exhaust note.

Unfortunately it ruins the effect of the Air conditioning http://bbs.sidc.co.uk/redface.gif[~(

That and the fact that my drool led to sudden over steer when it hit the rear wheels means that the windows stay shut http://bbs.sidc.co.uk/redface.gif[~(

Autoglym Car Interior Shampoo worked a treat!
This was lent to me by the famous Anthony at Scooby Sport, it only cost me a cup of coffee :-)
