I used sprite on a MF on my car which is mildly acidic which will remove them no problem, but will also remove any wax etc..
Random but anything mildy acidic will remove them
I run a phase 1 172 as my daily, had it since September time last year and done 8k in it. The build quality isn't great, rattles like f**k and lots of hard plastic, seats are quite supportive though and look nice, seem to be quite comfortable. Driving position is s**t but you get used to it. I...

I think you will agree the ph1 looked mint under the street light!
Also spotted last weekend, I was in the mini -you looked bewildered when I flashed!
Mint, mines 10yrs old in January!
