Yep, I know the colour now, almost has a touch of bronze in it.

Thanks for all the tips guys.

What do you use for the windows Merlin. I can never quite get mine really clean.

LOL! What a spirited response to a simple question!
Simple: soft water and a dash of ammonia in a spray bottle; dry quickly with CLEAN microfiber. And on cool glass, i.e. not in the direct sun. If you can't get out of the sun, work in smaller areas: spray, wipe, spray wipe, repeat. The trick is to avoid evaporation; that just leaves streaks.

I heard Armorall isn't good to use.

Absolutely, I'd never Armourall a dash.

303 Aerospace Protectant is great on vinyl and plastic.

Jesus is that a price misprint?

No, worth a shit load these days. Was the original of the series.

Beautiful cars...if you can afford one.

The two green ones are genuine 1971 GTS 350, rare as rocking horse poo, these could fetch between AU$200,000 to AU$250,000 each in the right auction.

A lady at work showed me a pic of her brother's HQ Holden that he keeps in showroom condition tucked away in the shed. Apparently a bloke offered him $250,000 and he wouldn't sell, the bloke asked how much would it take but he still didn't want to sell it.

Thanks Merlin.

Do not use ammonia!! if you have window tint on your glass. The ammonia will deteriorate the tint film and it will start fading prematurely.

@Nasscar Not sure if you have this in AUS but Invisible glass cleaner is the best glass cleaner you can use, and it is safe on window tint film.

I'm sure that is only if you use too much ammonia. The ratio for cleaning glass is very small. But, we were talking about outside cleaning, not inside, anyway.

 

[robz32]

Ammonia will attack the tint film regardless of the ratio.
It is safe to use on the outside, however people usually clean both outside and inside glass at the same time with the same product, hence my recommendation.

Those look like the Chevy Nova of the early 70's.

I wouldn't use any chemicals on the tint. I was only talking about the outside of the windows. I will check out the Invisible Glass if we have it over here. Thanks.

Does anyone know if you can clean the HUD screen. I was looking at mine today and thought it was quite dusty and unclean.
