I'd say it just would have come off with the steam clean.

Excellent news, Jen

I know what you mean about the excitement having the car there. Been through it several times myself with BMW motorbike arriving with our personal stuff when we arrived here, and then Monza and more recently the Opel Commodore .... sitting in my garage since Jan 2010 but still waiting to be complianced for NZ roads :roll:

One of these days! :oops:

Thanks Nik!! :D Well we need to check the engine out, seeing as it has stood for so long... and then it has to go for compliance... once passed, it will be WOF'd and rego'd... ;) I'm hoping pretty soon... all depends on what needs to be done to the engine to get it all back in order and the compliance... :D
