I'd go right ahead and suggest that you should never apply directly onto any surface in the interior, causes too much overspray, spray directly onto a microfibre or brush and agitate then.
Gave my dads MINI some detailing love as its just had a life of local hand car washes and was looking a little worse for wear.

That looks very useful. I tend to just use a microfiber cloth, which isn't all that effective on a dirty car.in2Detailing Multi Purpose Scrub Pad

I was quite skeptical of them, thinking they were abrasive but it's just like a big flat brush with tiny soft bristles. Makes doing door cars and dashes so much quicker. I'd still keep them away from paino black/gloss trims though.

Can anyone recommend a Ceramic coating for a new car?
My GR86 is coming in September and have ordered new green and orange hexlogic pads and have meguiars 105 & 205.
Normally before I would do 205 followed by 105 on my DA then seal with Collinite 476 but fancy giving ceramic a go. As it is a new car hopefully I can get away with a quick clay bar, 205 and protection.
I got a £100 Halfords Voucher for my birthday so thinking of this?

Or is there a lot better on the market?

Kicking myself. Cleaned the car yesterday morning as it was cool and a bit cloudy. The second I'd started washing, the clouds went and it just got hotter, and hotter, and hotter.
Now I have the deal with baked in water spots again
Note to self......just give up ffs! you know the universe is against you

For this same reason I bought a Race Glaze water filter to use on the final rinse. No water spots on my black car.Now I have the deal with baked in water spots again
Refillable 0ppm Water Filter (7 litre) - Race Glaze
The biggest selling Race Glaze water filter, produces enough pure spotless water for rinsing one car for a whole year (typically).

Or just use distilled water
I've not done a rinseless wash in direct sunlight yet, but that should eliminate water spots anyway

to my my mind it needs to be a brush, to get into texture indentations, yes, toothbrush is a bit small (although used to have a bequeathed australian toothbrush that must have been nearly 2" long)in2Detailing Multi Purpose Scrub Pad

I have some fairly stiff 3" paint brushes that I might sacrifice next time, but, all the scrubbing brushes have bristles that are too large / scratchy.

I actually have two vessels connected together with some high grade resin. It's just a pain with the type of power washer I have, but when I get back from holiday I'm getting the new worx hydroshot which looks much better than their previous model.
Luckily a green M3 pad and some detailing spray has gotten them off all the glass and plastic trim. I'll clay the paint work in a couple of weeks and just hope for the best. If not, I'll get some megs m205.

Do you need a portable pressure washer then ?
I had a worx, no where near the psi I wanted so I re sold it, now I just do rinseless washing
But if you need one, I was going to buy the green works one, double the psi so snow foam works on it much better

Gyeon Q² CanCoat EVO, almost half the price.
Look closely at the user reviews for the green works one mate
do not think the batteries last very long (even the most expensive one dies after 15-20 mins of constant use!) so I am sticking to my trusty buckets of water for now!What they need to do is make a product which uses the water bucket concept but takes mains power then that will be very popular with people who are a long way from the mains supply yet still work well as the water bucket is self contained...amazed no-one has made one of these yet as cannot be that hard to do surely!
Someone on here has one and recommends it
You can get something similar to that I'm sure
