I've seen this said on many occassions. How about compiling a definitive list for new Wedgers.

Number 1. It's always difficult to get into reverse without graunching unless you put it in 1st first.

Gerry,
Not a bad idea. We do get the same question often which is no bad thing - I tend to bookmark such topics which can help. Perhaps Ted could help by having a 'help' page where a topic is posted when it is about technical help and then left there as a library file!!
Ho humm just ideas.

Best thing for the yellow film on the back of a wedge after a run:

Spray it liberaly with Mr muscle kitchen cleaner, and you will see it run of onto the floor. My car is arctic white. I tried paint briush cleaner, white spirit etc etc. With mr muscle you just need to put a bit of polish on after, ready for the next time.

Try it, you won't believe what runs off. it is also brill for removing tobacco stains from upholstery. I used it on the interior of mt taimar.

Got to be oil/burnt petrol juices. I've never noticed it on mine, but that's prob due to her not getting a long enough run, poor thing

Firefox, I have noticed that your Wedge has a particularly bad case of yellow film. I think you will have to have yours resprayed...

I think its the stuff that comes out with the pops and bangs. Any hard wax gets it off I have found.
