Bye Bye JML Parking Sensors
 
Hello

It's amazing what you can do with a pressure washer!

Having got a Taurus P123 parking sensor kit for Christmas, coupled with the fact that my ugly cheapo JML parking sensors were starting to play up (I think that water was getting into the actual sensors, coupled with them being cheap rubbish), I decided to remove the JML sensors, which many of you will remember were stuck to my bumper:

Anyway, popped down to the local Total this morning to clean the car (birds using it for target practice), and soon realised that a close range burst from the jet washer on full blast would take them clean off without doing any damage to the paintwork or glaze on the bumper.

If only all stick-on stuff would come off so easily.

Plan is to fit the Taurus in early Feb, possibly at the same time as my centre armrest power socket.

To remove the sticky-stuff use the Autoglym Tar Remover and it does it in a flash! Took me forever removing just part of the glue on the double-sided tape holding the number plate on with all sorts of hot water and detergents etc. ... tried the tar remover and it did the lot in less than 5 minutes!! :eek:

Isopropyl Alcohol about £5.00 for 500ml from any chemist or direct from J.M. Loveridge plc Southbrook Road, Southampton, SO15 1BH, you may have to buy a quantity from them though, by far the best tar and glue remover. Will not damage paint at all, evaporates almost instantaneously.
