Mine are black from brake dust!
The Tech Choice is put on everything. Paint, glass, all black trim and wheels. Wipe on and wipe off. I don't dry the car fully either. I highly recommend it :D .

‘Twas a bit of sarcasm :)
Both sets of Peg’s were powdercoated black prior to me buying them (and the car) because the original owner didn’t like brake dust.

It’s great stuff! Try it on your counter tops, bathroom mirror, shower walls/curtain/glass, kids slides, kids sleds, boat hulls... Just don’t do the kitchen (or any tile/wood) floor with it! I’ve even done all the glass in our home (in and out) & we have a lot of it for such a small house.
Great ideas and will definitely keep things in much better shape and with less maintenance, that is after I do all the work you've just created for me :roll:. Actually, the stuff is a breeze to use and no mess but it's getting everything cleaned... well.

Update - found original listing on Facetube.
Owner talks about ‘feel of clutch pedal which new owner would have to address ‘ and mentions the cost of a dual mass flywheel.

I now realise it’s being sold cheaply because of these issues- but I’m not really interested in major issues straight away.
I thankyou all - especially Pete - for taking the time 👍🏻

The search will go on ...

Good sleuthing Stu, & sound decision. I see there’s also 2 V70R’s for sale on the same site, one looks pretty shabby. For less money up front this would totally be worth it if you had access to a lift & plenty of gumption to tackle the rather large job.

I’ve bid on the blue one , but action will happen and someone will pay crazy money.
Black one sold after three months for 1/2 what the blue one will go for.
Since a week has passed and I have to wait till end of 7 day auction, I’m cooling my heels and thinking a bit of home improvement and a suspension rebuild on the S70 might be money better spent...
