Haha I think you guys are giving it too much credit! But yes it does have those kind of vibes. I should guy another reel of the stuff and just go utterly mental with it hahahaha

So the convertible 9-3 has been serving us well, my other half has commandeered it as her daily car now. I have the other Saab and she has her ML but for the short school runs the ML isn't too practical nor is it good on fuel. She she's doing about 100 miles a week in it. It never misses a beat...

I've never had an issue with Rain-X, as long as you don't let it bake on or over apply. Lasts well enough as well. I actually prefer the glass cleaner that applies as you clean the glass. H2Go by Angelwax is a bit better a product, more forgiving to buff off too.

A hair dryer or a heat gun will definitely help. I've used dental floss to get behind the badges and that works well but you can heat up the badges, peel them off by hand and roll most of the glue off with your thumb. Then use a tar remover to get the left over glue off. Light polish and job...

Been having fun with the Saab of late. I mentioned that issue with intermittent limp mode, well it came back as a one off the other day but no EML. Then behaved absolutely fine. So I did some digging, asked some on a Saab FB group and the symptoms (some of which I'd not described) all pointed...

You'll protect the shine with a wax on top of the Super Resin so I'd recommend it. Could even apply a spray sealant over it for ease if you prefer, Turtlewax Seal N Shine would do the job.

The new car scent is specific to each brand and usually consists of the materials smell from assembling the car, glues, fabrics plastics etc. So you'll never get that exact smell and it is hard to describe but we all know it. The smell will fade of time, regardless of what you do. Autofresh as...

WD40 would work, or a tar remover will do it too. Just let it soak via a towel and it should break it down and let you wipe the residue away. Could speed it up a little with a hairdryer as that'll soften it up a lot first, may even just peel off. Same works for glue from badges etc.

Whatever cloths I've used get washed every time. So that's drying towels, microfibre cloths and wash mitts. I'll then tumble dry them on the lower heat setting rather than a line dry. Line drying to me seems riskier as there's more chance they'll end up falling on the floor and possible...

To be fair the CL has been pretty good so far but I'm not using day to day. The last MOT saw it need a few bits but it was the first one in my ownership and I wanted some niggles sorted, so that was £1,200ish. It's been so far better than the S Class I had prior. That had only done 900 miles...

Out of those three it would be the CL, it can technically do everything, handles amazingly for a big car, spacious and I could get the kids in. Would leave the missus at home haha. No probs mate, been a hectic few months but was nice getting outside whilst it was finally dry haha Haha yeah I...

Finally, after moving house at the end of September we finally have all the cars clean! Worst of the lot was the other half's ML, it does make for an excellent family car and living in a more rural area it's getting used every day for taking the kids to school. But it's also been about four...

Can't comment on what it is you need but if you're looking for a decent treatment process for it, I can only comment on what I did for my Saab 9-3s roof. I gave it a good clean with Protex Canvas Cleaner. This removed any green from the roof, gave it a much darker black finish and looked so much...

Get yourself some Chemical Guys Nonsense APC or Inner Clean, both really good for interiors, some cotton buds and a couple of microfibres. Unless you go crazy spraying onto switches you'll be hard pushed to do any harm. Inner Clean actually has some UV protection built in so it's good for...

Though I'd pop some pictures up as the last of my cars to get from our old house in Surrey to the new house in Gloucestershire was the CLS. I'd had it stored in a facility locally, which was pretty awesome, carpeted, radiators etc. So I had to hunt down similar near the new property and...
