IMHO - Armour All, the dashboard wipes are particularly good.

They do a shiney or a matt finish.

Once you are done leave the car overnight then clean the interior glass the next day.

Soap and water

eddie1 · 18-05-2006, 15:48

any particular soap?
and the other products are silicone free? or do they leave a 'permanent 'shine?

cheezemonkhai · 18-05-2006, 15:51

The armour all shiney one doesn't leave a permanant shine.

I use that as at the time they didn't do the matt one. When theses are all used I will get a matt one. They also work on external vinyl too

Ch!lledBudwei2e · 18-05-2006, 20:21

If you want proffesional quality then it's Poorboys interior, and the smell, ohhh the smell!

gillywibble · 18-05-2006, 20:35

I definitely recommend the gloss Armour All wipes. The window wipes are pretty good too.

vindaloo · 19-05-2006, 00:33

I've got something called "blue coral", seems to do the job but it's a bit slippy and they don't recommend coating the "controls" with it (gears, steering etc.).

euphoria205 · 19-05-2006, 12:55

Poorboys, natural look all the way and the smell mmm, even better than new car smell.

Makefish · 20-05-2006, 01:10

Do any of these have anti-static properties?. I seem to be forever cleaning the interior only for the 'static' to attract the dust again!.

Edit: Just out of interest, which Poorboys product are you refering to, is it this?.

Recieved mine today and now I know what you mean, it smells soooo nice I could drink it!.

gillywibble · 25-05-2006, 19:01

Got mine too. Had to hide it from SWMBO before she downs it in one

cheezemonkhai · 25-05-2006, 21:29

What does this stuff smell of? Think I may get some as opposed to a new pack of wipes.

gillywibble · 25-05-2006, 22:08

Eet smellz of coconuttttss!

cheezemonkhai · 25-05-2006, 23:10

eddie1 · 26-05-2006, 10:39

Autoglym interior shampoo is superb for the dash or meguires interior shine

both work great, A/glym doesn't leave a high gloss but meguires on a second application does if you want it.

lozgti · 14-09-2006, 16:43

Tried to clean my seats again with vanish crystals.

Car interior looks like a white flour bomb has been let off inside over the plastics.

Was the soap and water serious? The chronic halfords spray I have doesn't work.

Seats still look a mess too

Fabia 12v · 14-09-2006, 17:16

vote for soap and water here.

cheezemonkhai · 15-09-2006, 21:29

vote for save your money and get it professionally cleaned if it looks that bad. Otherwise you will spend as much on bits as you will on paying to have it done up to top knotch.

eamon234 · 08-10-2006, 22:51

I like to use baby wipes they work a treat especially on the textured surfaces then a quick spray of Son of a Gun to shine up the black bits...
