    So got the wee car last week still to wash it but it came with the usual polish over the trim. So apart from the Eraser are we still thinking Tesco Ground nut oil or as I’m doing the whole car from claying to Wax would I just be as good getting some dilute washing up liquid on a sponge as going over it?

    2 options.

    Ground nut oil, then wipe of and give the trim a wash then add some wax to protect... (cheap option)

    or use Black Wow. this will sort the marks and protect the trim. (Expensive option as bottle is nearly £19 )

    I have tried both options and have to say that the first option is just as good for a lot less money. At the end of the day, if you use your car everyday, then it ain't going to be concours.
