An example of nut oil on black trim. I am treating mine today. I use it very sparingly, a little goes a very very long way on the plastic trim at least. And always rubb off the excess. Should stay like that for a while.

I've just done mine Russ (with some oxidised walnut oil that was for the fuel tank!) without seeing the above and that is precisely how it has come up - looks great.
Took it out for another long run today and I think it's just a cracker of a car. By being so comfortable I'm more able to enjoy the run without the need to press on at the expense of economy. Taking it to the Classic Car show tomorrow.

Ahh. Great minds think alike! It's a good result isn't it. Works best in cold weather though I find. In the summer it was evaporating out of the rubber and plastic and wasn't really working. Not bad for a cheap fix.
So your completely addicted then Charles!!

Jee, she isn't that tidy is she?? Wow, what have I sold!




Sooooo pleased you are happy with the car Charles, theres always a thought of "Ooo I hope they like it", or "Whats the chance of them finding something they dont like" ..
Im fussy now who or what I sell to who. Rather more, I select who is gonna buy, this is to save my own mind, and also, with the aid of the blogs, know exactley what they are getting...
