Hose pipe ban being lifted! Woo!

On another note, does anyone have any bright ideas/tips for cleaning seatbelts? I have light grey/white seatbelts and they look filthy :(

Auto Glym Interior Shampoo, a Nail brush and a couple of microfibre cloths. Keep one damp to wipe off the soap suds and a dry one to pick up any left over moisture :) Works well on the white parts of my seats.
 
Cleaned my leather today with Zymol Leather Cleaner and I'm absolutely blown away by the results. With just one passing of it over all leather bits it turned a brand new MF cloth nearly completely brown with **** from the seats, wheel and gear stick. Going to pick up some Z10 leather treatment aswell but I can already see a difference from just cleaning it and it's much darker :)

Both sides of this cloth were filthy afterwards...

Can anyone recommend something to get rid of small scratches on my plastic wind deflectors? They aren't deep but almost like swirls you get on paintwork, want to get them looking perfect because they wind me up at night when they are most visible :(
 
I've been looking at a few different leather cleaners recently and I'm still not sure what to go for. I've got a black and red interior which is generally in good condition, it does have a couple of small white paint spots thanks to the previous owner.

I was all set on the Gliptone cleaner and conditioner but I've been reading reviews saying that over time it begins to smell really badly, I'd rather not have a stinky car. The zymol stuff looks like it did a decent job, any other suggestions?
 
AG leather cleaner then use Zaino Z10 after. A winner of a combination. Smells so good it will bring a tear to your eye.
 
Im not sure about inside a car, but outside, the best cleaning products ive ever come across were by a Italian company called MAFRA

Dr Leather wipes? I've got some heading my way, so weather permitting I'll be cleaning my black recaros on the weekend.
 
Prob been asked a million times before, but what do people use for a wheel sealant, Ive got some new (used) used wheels for my car, they need a quick clean, and i will do the inside of the rim too, but im not sure what sealant to use, Ive got collinite 915 for the bodywork, is there a equivalent of that for wheels, i hate cleaning wheels:(

I was recommended Collinite 845 as a wheel sealant, haven't managed a full application yet, but does look the business from what I've tried. Very durable as well.
