Intending to give the old girl (the car that is!) some tlc this weekend. I've got all the potions and lotions for the exterior but wondered what can be done to clean the inside of the ally tub.
Any advice on general cleaning and how to get rid of small scratches greatly appreciated.

I'd like to know this too as I've got a few small scuffs which I'd like to sort out.

use soap and water only as anything harsher will remove the anodised layer on the aluminium

Used Mr Sheen on mine after reading that suggested elsewhere, seemed to work a treat. After treating the interior fibreglass bits to some Meguers at the same time the interior is now treacherously slippery when getting in or out, but looks good.

It's in about 5 hours time until some time tomorrow morning - and our corner shop sells milk

Just checked the Met Office Website; cold front heading south into France, ridge extending over UK from dumbell high in mid Atlantic and light geostrophic - or, in laymens terms it should be settled with light winds. Great BBQ weather

I've got but no and I don't intend so I might later

Thanks Mrs Triple S
