Opel GT wiper water container

torito · 09-20-2007

Hello,

I'm looking for a *new* Opel GT wiper water container. Do you know who may sell this ? i don't want a 2nd condition since most of them are damaged or the plastic color has been altered.

Thanks a lot, Bye

The only place that would even come close would be Susselbeek/Parsget

I've cleaned one or two and was pleasantly surprised at how nice they turned out.

Hello,

Thanks for your help.

I was at Suselbeek one month ago and he only has 2nd hand containers unfortunately. The one i saw was worse than mine

One latest question. With what can you wash them to obtain a better look ? i've tried lots of different products and never could reach a color close the original state.

Thanks a lot, Bye

I'd try cleaning yours. Do a search, there was a thread about various cleaning methods. Mine was nasty looking, I cleaned it up with some bleach, degreasers, and detergents. It doesn't look brand new, but it definitely looks good now.

I used Plastic & Plexiglass Cleaner & Light Scratch Remover by Blue Magic. Results were good. It didn't make the plastic look new, but it certainly reduced the yellowing and removed dirt & grease.

I cleaned the washer bottle first.
I soaked my washer bottles, shock tower caps and brake fluid container, in very hot water with bleach/ vinegar for about 1/2 hour.
Then Dryed and blew out all the water. turned almost white again. I know a guy who will chrome plate plastic, I gave him two bottles to chrome for me w/ tops, and some other stuff.
They came out great, the only thing is that the engine heat turn the color bronze (gold), but matches w/ yellow car. The bottles look real good too if you paint them gloss black.
Hope that helps

Mike
