Hi All,

 

Just would like some opinions on this please. Car is an 8 month old Octy vRS and since recently waxing it, the dirt generally falls off when I give it a 2BM wash. I then dry and top of with Sonax detailing spray. So thinking ahead a few month when the council decide to resurface every road and the flies come out to pepper the bonnet! As I have a few old products that are running down I am thinking of replacing with :-

 

Chemical Guys Strong Wash for when I need to remove tar / bugs. 

 

Sonax xtreme Glass cleaner.

 

Also, except hoovering I have never really given the inside too much attention. So to keep the dash etc. clean, I have recently got some Autoglym interior - does this work ok as a general all purpose inside cleaner?

 

Thanks for any input.

 

 

To be honest I'm not a huge fan of AutoGlym.

For removing tar you will want a dedicated tar remover. AutoFinesse ObliTARate is a fantastic tar remover.

Gtechniq I2 is a great all surface interior cleaner and I2AB  has the added benefit of I2 with an antibacterial guard cleaner and guard.

For interior plastics there is Gtechniq C6 which is a UV protectant for plastic surfaces and leaves a non glossy, non greasy factory fresh lustre. Each application lasts around six months (there is also C6AB which is C6 with antibacterial guard).

Have look on the EZ car care thread - some great packs and kits in the sale right now.

 

Otherwise i would look at the Autobrite Direct range as a good option too... 

Thanks all - awaiting a box from CYC and some good weather!

Im not a million miles away so if you wanted to try something then just let me know. Apologies I'm a bit late with my reply. You've had some good advice above.

AG tar remover is what I use and it's very effective, despite what others say. I also use their vinyl and rubber care which is also good.
