if you get to the stage where its been a few years (or a decade or so) since you've mucked around with cars and you thought it might be great to get down and get dirty, this is for you.
Airtools - very handy. Tip - the frigging air ratchet really only need a few drops of oil prior to use. Do not, repeat NOT overfill it and immediately undo shocky nuts INSIDE the car. If you do, oil mist/droplets will cover the entire inside surface of the vehicle. This tip is brought to you by dick and head.... |

Best way to clean off oil off your paint is to wash using double the amount of car wash. If that doesnt work, household dishwashing detergent in a bucket will get it off, caution it will also remove whatever wax is on the paintwork so u will need to reapply. |

Ronwest, Have seen many problems cause by those tow blokes, "dick" and "head"?
You need to make sure you don't invite them over on the weekends you work on the car ok?  Sorry that you had to see oil everywhere :( |

 lmao , i was picturing it in my head as i was reading. Before i got my AU it was around a decade since i last messed with cars , and yeah they have changed alot in some ways - and some ways not . Better to run airtools half dry if your gonna use them inside the car (havent oiled my air/rattlegun since i bought it nearlly 15 years ago , and it still works fine , just clunks away , but works fine ..lol), lesson learned the hard way  : ... again ..lmao , wd :lookedat:oh , a good upholstery cleaner from supercheap auto or autobarn or something will clean that mess up .
