  • Am also a fan of it so much I stick it on my cornflakes .

boiled linseed oil, it'll soak in and get darker over time. will last 3 months or more

Was just about to send the same message, it's amazing stuff, make sure it's boiled though. If it's used on any interior parts you deffinately want to wipe down with a second rag though.

any diy store will have it ..make sure its boiled one , its about £3-4 a bottle

you can add a little bit of white spirit to help it spread

That's great thanks so much for advice what shall I apply with microfibres cloth?

wouldnt waste a mf cloth...either a old rag or cut a corner off a sponge ,wipe plenty on and leave it an hour if theres dry patches put on some more then wipe off the excess , do it on a nice day so its got a few hours to dry before rain

believe it or not wet rags can self combust lol ...so once youre done wet em so they wont catch light lmao

I saw this, but couldn't be bothered. I just painted mine. Pound land matt black(dont shoot me lol)

This worked amazingly looks like new thank so much but one question does anyone know hot get it out of patio bricks my dog knocked over!

i guess it would want scrubbing with some kind of solvent...thinners /petrol etc

I hope it works gna try sumfin like terps hope it doesn't damage drive

Standard thinners/Methanol and a blow torch.

In fact a blow torch alone will probably evaporate the oil.
