Markoos Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Hi Guys, the glanza is getting parked up for quite some time (years) and i need to know where to get that brown paper to wrap my brakes in so they don't seize up etc searched on google and no look because i don't know its actually name.Markoos Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daz gt turbz Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 if its being parked up for years i would put it on axle stands so the tyres dont get flat spots and just take the brakes to pieces then they defo carnt seize up. and also get them moisture absorbing bags to put inside it so it doesnt go mouldy. and disconnect the battery and spray wd40 on the connections.

nazzurro19 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 what , why ? sorry off topic but i have no idea on the paper lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Galliano Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Similar to masking paper that mobile body repair guys use? Actually I think bodyshops use it as well. If so then any auto factors on trading estates do it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Galliano Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Give it a wetvac Zac, then spray fabric freshener on the seats, carpet, headlining, doorcards etc etc. To do the carpet, remove the seats to get to it all.Deffo one of those Bags though, they are the win. How much do they go for?And as asked, why sitting for years? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rob_bower Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 get some some moisture traps you can but them from tow sure for caravans and stuff and make sure air can ventialte it!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Galliano Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Ill let him know mate, Absolutely Stinks tho, will be hard to get rid of that imoWhip everything out.. Carpet, seats, doorcards, and then do the job and let them soak a little longer and then leave them outside on a hot day, air out and dry.Bootcarpets and any other material items may aswell go through the stages too. Our valeters do this kinda work at work, and its great stuff.Spray looooads on, then leave to soak, then hoover up, and then leave to dry for several hours, so that way its not damp in the car to give you a soggy butt.
