Keeping your patrol clean & tips

[big_fletch]

Well I have just spent all morning cleaning and cut and polishing my troll, needless to say it needed it after our vic meetup trip..
Got me thinking though..

How often do you clean your patrol and is there any tips or tricks you might have to share with others?? Cleaning products that you have used that you have found ect..

I for example use a product on the inside of my patrol called 'armourall multi purpose cleaner'.. This stuff will get anything from dust to truck grade grease out of seats, door trims and roof linings without damaging or marking anything.. absolutely brilliant stuff and def give It a try guys

Looking forward to the replys guys and girls

hey Fletch how did you get the marks on the Roof Lining ?. Was it from opening Cans or Foot marks LOL

[NissanGQ4.2]

I use 2 drive mine through the river 2 give it a wash, but they blocked all access 2 the river now, hence why it doesn't get washed anymore :(

[wildgu6]

Only wash mine after a weekend at Loveday, 3 times in 2 years, nature takes care of the rest.
As I'm a tradie, you can picture the inside........LOL, dont think even Rosscos blower can fix that.

[Sir Roofy]

the boss uses the vacume cleaner and into the car wash when dirty enough

[damianovdd]

The last 2 months i use snow... I am waiting to stop freezing to wash the troll for the first time.

[tracemul7]

We've cleaned our girl 3 times since we got her in August. However, this is a full on clean inside (vaccum, wash carpets where needed and clean up all the dash/plastic) followed by 2 shampoos, chamois dry, wash/polish and clean the windows.

She looks so good when she's clean, but unfortunately we live near a building site (1600+ homes being build) so the dust just covers everything as soon as it's clean. :(

I love taking pics, so can't resist snapping her when she's all sparkly :D

[Finly Owner]

Not enough options...........once in two years......

[gec]

Oink Oink Flap Flap, oops must be time to wash the old girl, Hehehe

Embarassingly, I've had a bottle of this stuff since I bought the GQ 4 months ago, but I'm yet to use it! I should give it some serious thought since I accidentally let off the powder fire extinguisher inside it last week. Now everything is covered in white sticky powder!!


Generally though, I try to jet wash the GQ after I've been through a lot of mud, I hate the thought of it setting solid in all the nooks and crannies.

Brake cleaner is great for getting grease off upholstery and carpet - old mechanics trick!

Bummer... I must admit the Yarramundi Crossing on the Nepean used to get the odd visit many years ago. The Hawkesbury got a bit too deep after that and theer was another good spot up near where Penrith lakes are now. Used to turn off just after the Drag Strip

where are these spots ET? I know the lakes.......

[the evil twin]

Yarramundi Crossing was the back track up to Springwood and the Blue Mountains. Heading from Richmond to Penrith on Castlereagh Road you turned right and went down and crossed the Nepean on a dodgy old wooden bridge. Was a great spot for a fish or swim and a p1ss up. Its called Springwood Road now and has a higher level bridge I believe.

The other spot was upstream of Devlin Road. Heaps of lagoons and, sandy ridges and gravel beds

[Finly Owner]

Out behind Quarry still seem like a place worth playing in Emu Plains.

[katwoman]

You cant go past white vinegar !! Will remove just about anything. On your carpet and seats anyway. Katrol gets washed at least 3 times a week when I'm home.

Same, if it rains I might get out with a broom and give it a scrub

I don't know where to start ... the mud all over my dash, the mud all over my seats, the mud and water all over the front floor pans, or the ridiculous amount of filth on the outside!!! LOL

[Dhuck]

I will take honors for the dirtiest Scotty. You can have all other honors mate
