That wind deflector mesh...

[buze]

Today, small job, clean the inside of the car... I tell myself I'd remove a couple of traces on the mesh, clean the loops etc... all dusty right...

I wipe a paper towel on the mesh and it comes out... *black*. The thing was *filthy* absolutely completely disgusting, 20 years of smog, possible smoker driver and other horrible treatment, no wonder it looked a bit in poor shape!

Anyway, I went heavy handed. Warm water+dish soap, and a stiff brush, brushed all the in/out, and everywhere... then went a rinced it all using the garden hose... The water was absolutely disgusting!

Now mine even looks *black* amazingly, never knew it was that color before

I washed mine a few weeks ago. It was also filthy!
It is amazing how much crap a mesh screen can hold!

Yep, been there done that as well, in fact I cleaned it in the bath once. It's amazing how dirty they get and it's the same for you in the cabin. The joys of open top motoring

Yeah, but hopefully you don't wait 20 years to wash your hair!
