    Ok Wul new question to the car care King!

    I'm 'bout to get a new car and I'd like to get a full kit of wax, polish, interior cleany stuff and sponge mitty things. Can you reccomend a kit... Budget £100 tops.

    Currently use Zymol stuff on the Mini but it's dead messy and the interior stuff I use makes the dash shine - which I dont want.

    Any ideas?

    Wul - So man, C'mon whats the advice then...

    Sorry Steve - never clocked it in amongst the girders spill

    The dash first - there are plenty of products about - but they all leave a shine if applied and left - secret is to apply the product then buff it of with a lint free cloth. I'm using meguiars Natural Vinyl stuff but there are a few about - look for ones which provide UV protection to stop your dash discolouring. THIS should help (god only knows what the lady is doing with the hoover though:I).

    As for the full kit - it depends on the products you like Steve.

    From the Megs Range THIS is a good starter but wouldn't be too fussed for the plastic treatment and definately add a tube of scratch-X. My own pref would be to see if they'll swap them and also swap the ultimate mitt for a lambswool one (their the same price). oh and 2 buckets of course :clown:

    :)

    Excellent mate. Yup the woman was doing strange things with a hoover but like the way she dresses to clean the car - if only I could get the GF to do that for me!

    What about cabrio soft-top cleaner then - what your recommendation?

    And will you get a commission if I mention your name?

    I use the above site to get my 303 Cabrio Cleaner stuff I've also got the 303 aerospace protectant spray which is good on interior leave a matt finish.

    Found the recommendation on mini2 and thought I would try and it's all good so far

    Cool, looks like I'm all set. Just wonder if I need to invest in 3M plastic on the car to stop the stone chips that have been an issue with my mini!!

    Good shout from Fiona on the 303 gear - it's the best for your trim inside and out - hard to get over here though as it can't be shipped by air as it's volatile gear
