*** The Car Cleaning Thread ***

[DM]

SEAT isn't listed

Phone them, they seem a bit abrupt but do know what they are on about.

Im sure they will get you sorted and it really is good stuff.

I doubt it being specifically meant for Seat would make much differance tbh, leather is leather more or less. Although I should think any VAG group approved/specced stuff would work on a Seat just fine anyway.

 

[mjt]

I don't really care tbh, but I want it to look a bit better for when I come to sell it

If someone knows that shoe polish thread I'm talking about, awesome!

 

[DM]

Gliptone have this colour bank jobby, if its not listed they can usually make it from the interior trim colour code.

Mjt has a big advantage in as much as he needs black.

Alloy cleaning recommendations ? I bought some AutoGlym Clean Wheels but it seems to be utter rubbish, I used to use WonderWheels on the MR2 a long time ago which seemed to be hundreds of times better at removing baked on brake dust.

I cant find any WW anywhere, so what's everyone else using ?

Took advantage of the Halfords BOGOF offer today, purchased AG HD Wax and a Megs Smooth Clay Kit (the one with extra polishing cloth, cleaner wax etc).

I *almost* bought from the internet instead as was going to go for some P21s (now renamed R222) but after reading about short life in terms of durability i gave it a miss.

So this BOGOF offer is buy ONE cleaning product and get ANY other cleaning product free, it doesn't have to be a duplicate of the first product?

2 FOR 1 would make more sense if so...

 

[MikeHiow]

Meh on AG HD Wax.

None locally, and they want £17.99 for delivery online?!

No it doesnt have to be the same product twice.

HD Wax is £39.99 and Clay Kit is £24.99.

i paid £40 for it

 

[hohum]

Let us know how you get on with the HD Wax chaps, as I'm considering purchasing that at some point in the future.

He would have if he'd have ordered it online, but the delivery was quoted as £17.99 which by anybodys book is a bit excessive!

ANyone know recommend someone who does machine polishing in/near Winchester (Hampshire) or Camberley(Surrey). Keen to get it done in a few weeks once I get the Celica TS clayed. No idea how much it would cost though. Sub £50/100? Howard ?

 

[peterattheboro]

That's very nice Howard. Now I know what mine would look like when it's clean

 

[Gerard]

What's a good cleaner for getting dried in muck out of interior plastic? Just noticed some in the door trim plastic and it's a bugger to shift because of all the little grooves.

 

[hohum]

Don't know if you'd need a cleaning substance for that, perhaps just an old toothbrush?

 

[Phil W]

A nail brush (soft bristles) would do.

Not the foggiest I'm afraid. I wouldn't pay someone to detail my car, but then I wouldn't know where to start with a machine polisher either. I can just imagine giving it a go, standing back and then admiring all the patches of missing paint from the car's panels.

I use a damp soapy rag

Will update the thread with something a little different
