You will see a difference with that stuff. I had to use a few different cloths as they got very dirty. It does work really well.________________________________________ Peugeot 306 GTi 6BMW 320 td compact M-sport 1967 Mini Cooper 1990 Jaguar XJR 4.0 |

Thanks, its a blue alacantra so you can see the dirt on it more so than in a 6. Cheers ________________________________________ Cherry Red 306 HDIChampionship White Integra DC5 Type R |
