Stick it in the washing machine with the rest of your cleaning clothes on 40c with some detergent ( no fabric conditioner though).

 
Cheers,

Wayne

I have a mitt for the wheels, one for the underside of the skirts and arches, one for the lower panels of the body (everything below bump strip level) and one for the upper panels (everything above bump strip incl roof).

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Thats somewhat re-assuring to hear you suffer from it aswell, I thought it was just me! This is my first but Ive had mine almost as long as you had the ones from Dan!
