Personally I use 1001 carpet cleaner for the carpet... and Autoglym leather cleaner and leather feeder for the.. er.. for the... leather!

Might be worth trotting off to Halfords and getting the autoglym car car kit (about £40) - has everything you need pretty much...

Have you guys and girls tried Zymol? A mate has just purchased the starter kit and polished his M3 and was chuffed with the results.

They do a whole range of products for all cleaning.

Two problems. 1 it's expensive and 2 you can't just pop down to Halfords to buy it.

The results looked like they were well worth the effort (not the easiest stuff to use) and expense.

I'll be buying some when I finally get myself a TVR to polish. I do use Autoglym and have been round their plant in Letchworth and their products are the best of the rest as far as I'm concerned. The commercial grade wheel cleaner is the best.

1001 carpet cleaner was a revelation... got out SO much ingrained dirt... really freshened up the whole car.

The Autoglym kit (in the nice case!) has everything you need really... including a nice sponge and polishing cloths...!

Get yourself down to your local CostCo - wonderwheels is available in 5 ltr for about £10 (need to confirm price). If you can't get membership let me know via email and I'll post it to you plus postage.

Zymol polish is now on sale at Halfords, not seen the starter kit but if the polish is anything to go by, it must be good stuff (smells like coconuts!)

my baby is sort of clean. By the time I got back from Halfords with my Williams F1 Cleaning Kit it was getting dark!!

Shall give her a thorough good seeing to at the weekend seeing as it's TVRCC meet time.
