I use a small amount of brake cleaner, spray on to cloth and rub.
If it goes a little dull you can use furniture polish to bring back the sheen.

I'll know it's there! Not just for these parts, but for future reference, cos I'm bound to do it again. I was concerned about melting the vinyl or bleaching the colour out of it. O.K, brake cleaner, with marker pen as a back up then

Are they actually called Sharpies, or is that a generic name for marker pens? It was all Rotring drawing pens in my art college days.

Just get a good one that's really permanent, not one of the cheap bingo markers.

I know what you mean Andy.
Enough things to consider without external forces having a go as well!!!

I haven't even thought about starting & running either of my projects for ages. Struggling to find the enthusiasm at the moment.

Getting older but no wiser! Just using bigger hammers. The answer to most problems, fire and lots of it.

Still de-rusting the passenger side of the chassis & painting it, but have at least got a couple of coats on the cab area & moved further forward to start cleaning up the engine bay section. For those who wonder why it's taking so long & why I'm so disheartened with it, this is the view under the cab. The Pop was driven for a couple of months after they started gritting the roads at the end of 2013. Then it stood outside Loony's workshop under a tarpaulin for 3 years in all weathers. Although it's only a few years old, the chassis's covered in rust & looks like it's been dragged out of a swamp. I'm working through it slowly, scrubbing it down to bare metal then treating it with rust killer, red oxiding it & top coating it -but it's a messy, miserable job. It's been a gorgeous day here today, but I've spent the whole day in the shadows, laying under the Pop.
