Some people just aren’t true Renault enthusiasts

This is a terrible answer but I have some AKG headphones that are like Trigger’s Broom - I keep adding replacement foam and they keep performing. But the outer is just the same. Eventually got fed up and tried allsorts, convinced that the old school Tar & Adhesive Remover I had in the garage would destroy it because it comes from an era where your health mattered less than the cleanliness of your car.

Nope. Fail.

As a last resort and ready for binning them I got a plastic scraper (guitar pick, strong, sharp and not too bendy) and took the thick off. Then I used the glue remover above and that was still a chore, certainly doesn’t walk off but it worked.

Btw, worst thing I removed last year was resin from the hedge clippers. Scrubbed and scrubbed with petrol and a very stiff parts cleaner brush, you know the type. No way was that coming off. Then I decided I’d play the ‘no way’ card and used an old electric toothbrush frequently dipped in petrol. Well hello there. OK, it didn’t walk off and took me an hour but it was crazy how good it worked. Feel free to ignore this method for the interior of your motor vehicle.

I could buy a whole new Renault for that kind of cash!

Not sure if serious?

K550? They look a bit deeper than mine, have you got a very small head?

Indeed they are a k550.

Not quite sure how to answer if I have a small head or not.

Wait…'snot you…'sme…I’ve got a very big head…I found this out when I did the odd karting session when they would pretty much end up giving me the equivalent of the fire bucket. As you were.
