Hi folks when im giving my car a good clean and polish i find old credit cards really handy for getting into areas were its just to tight like between the headlamps and bodywork, around rear lights, where body panels meet. These credit card style cards are everywhere now and you can just pick a load of them up at the tills and the like, obviously i put a slim microfibre cloth around it ....The point of this thread is to see if anybody else use odd items to help them in there car care, we can all learn a tip or two.Don't be shy now if its daft and works then its not daft i'm sure some of you can remember my use of a long handled toilet brush (unused) for the cleaning of the inside of alloys, Im sure some of the detailing snobs would never dream of such depravity but these things  actually do work.

I'm a self confessed 'tight arse Yorkshireman', so anything that saves the pennies gets a big thumbs up from me...Have you tried Cotton buds?

No but I will.cheers

I covet any household cleaning product bottles with foaming spray heads.

Me too,

MR Muscle kitchen/bathroom spray works well.  

Sainsburys Basic Range All purpose cleaner ...40p for 500ml

Cotton buds & make up pads are both very handy

Yeh lads i find bathroom cleaner or apc as you say great for cleaning under the arches i just spray it on and let it dwell for a while then i get to work with one of these....
