...I decided to do something that's nice.
Finally got me some bonnet insulation.
The general consensus on this forum is to use 3M 08090
Not easy to find that here in Holland. I can get it from England but then the postage time and cost made me look for an alternative.
I remembered teasing Robin-H over on BW about a nasty case of Bison ticks =>
RESTORATION BEGINS: Interior & Exterior - Page 44 - Mercedes-Benz Forum
So on his recommendation I got some for myself.
(I'm hardly ever impressed with Bison stuff so we'll see how it goes)
I just got a little tin (nearly cost ten euros - humpf market leader has had it too good for too long)
Cleaned the underside of the bonnet
(Most of it was cleaned earlier on in the thread - way back when)
Brush on - no chance of ending up with all of those "oh **** look at that over spray" troubles - does take longer though I'm sure
Brush on the other side
Let it dry! Contact adhesive is weird stuff.
It went on all right. Not too bad for an English bloke in a Dutch car park working by himself if I say so myself.
Th crinkly bit in the middle towards the bottom was due to the way it was packed in the box - honest gov! A bit irritating - but may be a bit of heat will make it different...
