Something for the interior plastics
Tyre dressing
Exterior trim dressing, currently using auto glym bumper care, is there anything better?

Exterior trim dressing, currently using auto glym bumper care, is there anything better? In that price range, stick with it, or the above FinishKare also works well.
Something for the leather - Gliptone or Zaino Twins
wouldnt mind something for the engine bay / under the arches - Autoglym Rubber & Vinyl
also something to dry it with, Ive heard leathers are baaaad - Miracle Drier Microfibre Towels


Get it all from Clean Your Car, Elite Car Care, i4detailing etc etc or pick and mix from eBay, Halfords and online stores etc.

My other half's dad lives in Scotland. He was moaning about the cars up there getting covered in black shite that won't come off easily. Didn't know where it came from though

Thanks Rich, was kind of hoping for your input but didnt want to ask cause I know how much you work already

Mine was full of tar so I used auto glym tar remover, worked quite well coupled with a claybar, since I started using the dod wax though Ive not really had many tar spots since

No probs mate

Autosmart Tardis is the best stuff by far for tar removal.

Failing that, ValetPro Citrus Tar & Glue remover, or the Autoglym stuff isn't bad, but stick it in a spray bottle instead and ditch the normal bottle.

Shampoo: Turtle wax wash and wax, £15 for 25 litres from costco
Interior: cockpit matt from asda, Think its £5 for 2 cans
Tyre dressing: cant beat meguires endurance, Lasts for ages
Something for the leather: Glyptone (Got some here if you want to try a bit)
Engine and underneath: Tesco all purpose cleaner (Similar to flash and autosmart g101) £1.50 and lasts for ages
Drying: Just a couple of micro fibre cloths, Think they are on offer in Asda aswell.

no need to spend a fortune, After all it only gets dirty again a few days later!

iv gave up cleaning mine, i live quite close to a quarry and in 12 hours of washing its covered in a fine layer of dirty dusty shite.

however i normally use £1store wash and wax and a scratty sponge, then clean the windows with glass cleaner that also cost £1. then autoglym deep shine polish thats now ran out anyway hahaha

iv got them tar spots all up the sides of my doors. cheap way to get them off maybe?
