Let us know how you get on with removing the excess oil Andy.

It may be advantageous to just remove the excess as you sugest...since the oil does have water repelling properties....and not removing it all may improve its effectiveness.

Its all a learning curve isn't it?

NOW...what the best thing to use on tyres to keep them nice and glossy?...I don't like the Meguiers stuff I have.

Could it be.........Nut oil?
