    sorry the Tardis was for the outside

    going to polish the windows inside and out with carlack stuff and seal so i dont need my wipers so much as the water jumps off the window and then going to use my Aerospace 303 on the dash and plastics inside...from what it says on the back it does the lot.
    Mini as it was. As it is. As it always will be. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, it's up to you to decide if it counts!

    Haven't used any of those products mate, so can't comment on them.

    We use G101 diluted to 1:20 for the inside trim, not sure what Lenore uses on the likes of the dials. If I'm honest, probably just a damp cloth. How did you get swirls in them?

    I was right, it is Lenore that cleans the cars.

    Lenore does the inside. I do the outside.

    Aye, I know what you mean, that would annoy me too. Hmmmm. What's best to get them out then????? Tricky one, because you'd want to try anything on another piece of plastic/acrylic first, to make sure it's not gonna make it worse. I wonder if a furniture polish might work. Sprayed onto a cloth then applied, not directly onto the plastic. But try it somewhere else first, for gawds sake.
