Okay like most I have armorall lying around from gifts etc

Use it to detail the tyres mostly

My doorhandles and glovebox handle thingo are nearly white

Most people say armorall is the devils work etc.

My older revhed mates all say hit the handles repeatedly with the armorall

will eventually make em look the correct color

what is everyone using my handles look bad

rest of the interior is pretty resonable

other than the remnants on my dash of the black silicon previous owner used to attach the boost gauge

that will be the next mission I guess

Any suggestions????????????????

I accidentally got a couple of drops of the stuff on my new leather gear boot. instantly took the color out of it. Now on the blue leather there is a couple of white spots that I'm stuck with. Not looking forward to the comments that passengers may come up with ;)

I wont be using it again. Slightly Damp cloth FTW

Armor all is evil

It's basically a mix of solvent and sealer. The solvent gets in and attacks the plastic (vinyl / whatever) and the sealer seals it in to let it keep attacking.

You be the judge.

And it costs about 25c a bottle to make.

I detail cars for a living and have found anything Maguiars is the shit! Not only do they work well but all their products smell good too, doesnt smell like chemicals. Amour all is absolute crap and will cause damage eventually.

If the plastic wont go back to its original colour try a bee's wax, that fixes most things! If that fails you may have to replace the parts effected.

Hope this helps.

I use Mothers Naturally Black, you can buy from any auto shop.

Pour onto the plastic, let it sit on it for a couple of minutes, then massage it into the plastic. Then buff it after it has dried. Its a longer process than all the typical black restorations, but this is different as it isnt just some black liquid to hide the faded plastic.

    • One of the things that never seemed right was the handbrake. Put in some nice new Project Mu shoes. We figured the rears were out, so why not. We're right there. My handbrake never worked well anyway. Well, this is them, 15km later. 67fdcf94-9763-4522-97a4-8f04b2ad0826.mp4 Keen eyes would note the difference in this picture too:   And this picture: Also, this was my Tailshaft bolts: 4ad3c7dd-51d0-4577-8e72-ba8bc82f6e87.mp4 It turns out my suspicions that ne side of the handbrake cable was stretched all along were pretty accurate, as was my intuition that I didn't want to drop the tailshaft to swap them on jack stands and wasn't entirely sure about bolt torque. I have since bought the handbrake cables which have gone in. I'm very glad that I went to my mechanic friend who owns an alignment machine to get an alignment before the track day, because his eyes spotted these various levels of "WHAT THE f**k IS GOING ON HERE?". Turns out the alignment wasn't that bad, considering we changed the adjustable castor arms out for un-adjustable castor arms, and messed with the heights. Car drove pretty good with one side of the handbrake stuck on, unbleedable rear brakes, alignment screwy, and the tailshaft about to go flying and generally being a death trap waiting to happen! (I did have covid) (I maintain I adjusted the handbrake correctly, but movement caused shennanigans and/or I dislodged the spring on the problem side somewhat, or god knows what). G R E G G E D
    • Very interesting, im not sure how all those complications fit in to running a haltech instead of a stock ecu but I'm starting to think I'm a bit out of my league.
    • I just put 2 and 2 together. This is a Neo converted R32. The Neo ECU (in concert with the R34's AC controller) runs the AC quite differently to how the R32 ECU and AC controller do it. If you just drop it all in, it won't work. There is some tricky wiring required, including changing to the pressure switch that the Neo controllers want to see. I don't know what it is, because mine was done by a guru. It was a year or so after I did that transplant before he worked out what needed to be done.
    • Don't assume the AC relay signal from the ECU is +, some models including Stagea use an earth trigger.
    • Hey good to see you on the forums! Haha Considering this cars past with electronic issues I am leaning towards it being a wiring fault somewhere in the engine bay. When testing the ac relay in the fuse box there was no earth trigger. I am probably going to try "bench test" the compressor by giving it direct ground and power to see if i can hear the ac clutch click otherwise I will be pretty sure I have a dead compressor. If it does work then I will be tracing some wiring it seems.
