Haha, well that's what those kind of products are designed to do - make it look good. They don't actually ged rid of the problem. Just wait til it dissappears...
No Mate, they're gone. One of the (few) advantages of being old is you have lots of experience. The marks rubbed off with a damp chamois. Then when the panel was dry I applied the armourall. |

Ahh so the amourall didn't remove it then  You've missed the point. You said above they were still there and I hadn't removed them." Also I don't think Amourall removed it, more like covered it up.." I did. Two step process. Job done. FWIW, I reckon had I used armourall only they'd still have gone. |

I said I don't think Amourall removed it. In any case, it's obvious that your marks were just wipeable ones and not actual stain type marks. That's the type I am referring to.

The ignition key entry is very close to where one naturally has one's accelerator knee.
So when you have a bunch of keys and other things on your keyring, the whole thing dangles and hits against your knee constantly.
Better to have in on the centre console maybe.

My mate told me that I just don't understand irony.
Which was ironic because we were at a bus stop at the time.

It is a good idea to keep your car key separate from other keys anyway, not only does having a weight of keys swinging in the barrel have a detrimental effect on the barrel over time, if somebody pinches your keys at least they can only steal your car and not also get into your house, or vice-versa.....................

also dont keep a tag on your keys that gives details of the car such as color,model or rego number because if lost,the person that finds them may steel the car or steel from it.  |

Not sure if it's been mentioned - haven't read through all the posts, but when I lock the power windows so the kids don't play with them, it also locks it from me being able to control them. In my other car (Ford Territory) I keep the lock on all the time, but if I need to control the windows I still can. If I need to use them I have to unlock them and if I forget and the kids find out - up and down go the windows again  I then need to quickly wind them up and snap the lock on before the start winding them down again! |

Surely this should be in the other thread "things I don't like about my kids". Alas in my case the thread would be bigger than this one  |

 Seriously (?) I have another one (although minor) whenever I switch to iPod, or if I turn the car back on when the iPod is selected the Random Play slection doesn't stay on. I always have to turn it back on - only minor but frustrating nonetheless.....

From a security point of view, when you press the unlock button on the remote, all doors unlock. I hear stories from time to time about car jackers targeting and waiting around certain cars for the owner to unlock the car. Then they will jump in through the other open doors. From an insurance company point of view, I hear they will rate a car better if the remote unlocks the driver's side door first, and when the button is pressed again the other doors unlock. Holden Commodores have that feature. Not sure about Ford Falcons though.

:lol:Wow this list of negative things just keeps on getting bigger and bigger. Maybe the car isn't that good after all.  There are a few repeats Oh I dont like the fact I have to turn the steering wheel to the left slightly to engage the steering lock. An I dont like the fact the silver surrounds on my foglights don't match the black surrounds on my headlights. |
