Two options spray and leave for ten minutes not in sunlight, helps soften all the stuck and dried on dirt/dust, the other option like what your car washes do is spray it on and then rub down the car, I do not advise the latter however.

A little random but did you happen to be in Hitchin with the Corvette Saturday just gone?
Saw a Pace Car Corvette parked up along Hermitage Road, along with a few hot rods and other random cars, and did wonder if it was yours or not. Looked amazing either way
Was not me I am afraid, so a lucky spot as the number in the UK is believe to be 8-12 UK cars which about three of those are driven on a regular basis, myself been one of the driven examples.

There is one that drives regularly around Livingston it sounds great.
Not having owned a convertible before, it’s crazy how bloody dusty and dirty it gets inside! All sorts of ***** flies in like stones and dust, but that’s probably due to it being a Caterham. Had a tractor shower me with hay this afternoon 
Haven’t driven it without doors, not sure I will. It’s quite unrefined with the “doors” in place as it is...

Looks great we make lots of parts for Caterham at work (turned components etc) , always nice to see one in all its glory
Haha yes! Leave top down in may/June and it'll be covered in pollenNot having owned a convertible before, it’s crazy how bloody dusty and dirty it gets inside!

looks great tho!Great for my hay fever and pollen allergiesHaha yes! Leave top down in may/June and it'll be covered in pollen
It’s mainly just road dirt and grime. I’ve ordered some more terry towels I can see I’ll be wiping the interior down much more often than normal!

Yea that's what I do, dust it off and that is it. I've tried a few anti static interior detailers and it does feel like they reduce the stickyness a bit and it blows out but nothing will really prevent it.
That’s cool! Thanks
Aye. The road is an inherently dirty place
It’s just not something I had thought about as everything I’ve ever owned before was a tin-top.

Back to its natural mode of transport!
tbf i've owned it for 12 years and this is the first time its broken down, zero fuel pressure, fuel pump sounded like it was ok so i suspect the FPR gave up the ghost.

Same!
Hehe maybe if there’s a Southern Meet one of these days once the borders are open and COVID goes away.. Must be 10 years now since the one I went to.
This one is only a lowly 275 (EU-spec 270) with 136bhp. Plenty fast for me as it won’t be seeing a track and anything much more powerful on the road will most likely leave my kids fatherless
There are quite a few members on here with some crazy spec Caterfield jobbies!
Very nice! Which power output?Finally I can add to this thread. Arrived yesterday, made up with it.
These are lovely. You can definitely feel the weight, but they don’t half shift!
Great interior materials and build quality too. Enjoy!

It's one way of saving fuel for sure!At least it still looks cool, even on the back of a lorry
Thanks, got a new fpr ordered which hopefully turns up tomorrow then it should be a 30 job swapping it out (wishful thinking
) . That's if it is the fpr else it's likely the pump which would be annoying as it's brand new.
