If the WD won't shift it pop along to your local paint supplier/motor factors and get a can of Pre-clean (there was a branch of Autopaint international in Withington last time I was down your way- its about £10 for 5 litres) it shifts anything, doesnt damage paintwork and smells jolly nice too! Also handy for removing felt pen and crayon from freshly painted walls ( my daughter Lola thinks she is Jackson Pollock this week)

Spot on advice -  it doesn't damage the paintwork and re-polish afterwards.

Darn it - just seen on telly that they have arrested most of the workforce at my local hand car wash for being failed asylum seekers and working illegally - going to have to sort this out myself after all!  ::)

Sounds like somebody else who enjoyed the fringe benefits of making Airfix kits, before solvent abuse became fashionable. ;D

Oh and the whiteboard markers!  I see that blackboards are no longer politically correct in schools, even though they were green.

I've been trimming the hedge (it was 20 foot tall) and my hands are covered in ....you guessed it... SAP  It really is a buqqer to get off.  I recon I've cut half a ton of wood, so reducing my carbon footprint by 600 gallons of diesel, or nearly a years worth of motoring.  Timber!
