Stuff to make your life easier ...

... This stuff spray on Fabric seats to make them waterproof stops staining and gives you time to wipe up Piss or Puke

I intend to buy this Fabsil product John m, but how long does it take to dry properly in wintertime ?

And how many 400ml cans would I need fer just the upper back seat (not lower as it's leatherette covered) and the front passenger seat in full ?

berry scented windscreen washer fluid.
when you get a smelly cunt onboard turn your air blower on pointed at your face and hit the washer fluid with the wipers. it picks up the scent from outside and blows a pleasant fragrance right in your face. a must have piece of kit.

I don't like adding anything to my screen wash except plain water fer the simple reason that anything added only wears the rubber on the wiper blades.

PS. Thanks fer the Tip DMG on the Silicone WD40, it worked a treat on my schreeching side front window panels where the basic WD40 had failed after only 2 weeks fer many years.

I gave the wipers a clean too with it, but they were working fine before and after so nothing to report there.

it's perfectly safe for your rubbers i've been using it for years.
you don't add it to water you just fill the reservoir with it.
if you wipe your blades once a week with the silicone spray it'll keep them new and protected.

Is that not just a basic jack with a rachet handle ?

My bending and lifting days are coming to an end, I'm looking fer something real simple that almost jacks the car up by itself.

It's probably the only bit of exercise I get Ken....but the ratchet handle makes short work of lifting it...although my jammer is a heavy bastid!!
