Could you also use it on the door hinges etc ?

You sure it doesn't mess up the electrics?

Sportspack Mark · May 4th, 2008, 12:59 PM

Well when I turn the radio on my wipers come on

And when I select reverse the headlights come on

Apart from that its great

Only kidding

In all seriousness though, I never had any bother with it

But its your own choice, do it at your own risk

its a BMW, it can take it

What do you use on your wheels? I got some wonder wheels today but its been raining since so I havn't been able to use it so far?

I find the wheel arch linings also need cleaning regularly but its tricky without removing the wheel which I did once! Never again, took ages
