Hey all!

Quick question about best way to clean my baby.

Does anyone know how to get those black plastic sil covers looking ship shape again, they're starting to get a few scuffs where i scoot my cheeks over them on entry?

Also, does anyone know of a good product to get the black exterior plastic on the bonnet/side intake/engine vents looking all shiny and nice? I've tries Simoniz Back to Black, and some other generic stuff, but they just seem to sit on the surface in white smears?

Thanks as always for any help!

Use Vassalene for yout black bits of plastic. Leaves them looking great and repeals water. Sound like bull but works-Also so does smooth peanut butter-No joke!

Does your car get chased by hungry dogs or attract fly's?

Hi mate, the best stuff I use is Bumper care made by Autoglym for out side on all black bits and it also takes wax marks off as well. bit expensive but sorts my car out a treat!

I'd second the Autoglym Bumper Care. Not that pricey really as a bottle lasts absolutely ages.

I have been trying to find something to get wax marks for ages. A quick trip to Halfords, me thinks.

Where's the best place to buy stuff in bulk - I presume it's too heavy to buy it over the 'net?

only cheap waxes leave a challky residue. Cheap waxes use a fine powder to make it easy for the "less experienced" to see where they have missed a bit.
