Some interesting stuff….

 

The outside of the cars looking pretty good, time to start on the inside.

The interior on my car is black and grey cloth, the black vinyl looks grey and dirty.

 

Had some Halfords dash cleaner to use so I got to work. Only looked good for about 30 seconds then it was same as before I started.

 

My mam was watching idealworld channel and saw this stuff called ‘Flat Free Tyre’ you put it in your tyres and impossible to have a puncture (sounds interesting).

 

If you ordered this product you got a 4 piece ProShine professional car care kit free (it’s the kit they give you when you buy a limo etc) .

At £24.89 it’s worth a go so got one.

 

In the kit there was this stuff called ProShine vinyl and leather conditioner. I tried it on the black vinyl trim in the car and on the black trim outside the car.

 

This is totally amazing stuff, the trim inside the car turned really black and even.

It also puts a coating on rubber to stop cracking (you know how bad the outside trim can get).

 

The outside rubber on my car is in perfect condition so I put some on to keep it that way.

 

The place this car care kit came form is http://www.netparts.co.uk

 

I looked on there web site but they didn’t see this kit, but they must do it because that’s were it came from (there is ProShine products on there).

 

Check out the site it’s got loads of useful products on there (a lot of stuff has 50% off).

 

Another bizarre thing I found was, if you’ve got a black interior you could try this.

 

Someone tried to take off the drivers window switch panel and didn’t know about the two bolts in the handle and broke it. It had been glued back together but you could see the join, so I sanded it over with 600 wet & dry which left it milky looking.

 

Now this is the bizarre bit.

 

I had some Loctite black superflex sealant (you can get this at Halfords) I put a bit on some kitchen roll and rubbed a small amount on. You must wipe it off straight away but it leaves an amazing black shine.

 

I reason I tried this was the black vinyl had a very small spilt in it so I thought this might cover it up, when I saw it turn the vinyl black and shinny I thought Mmmm!

 

Not a good idea on big stuff but great on switch panels and the like.

 

 

Best Wishes

Some good ideas there matey, i'll have to try them when i get chance to clean the purple nasty

Just had a look and ordered some of that ultra glaze polish stuff.

Hope it's as good as they say cos I hate washing black cars all the time.

Give it a go and let us know m8.

 

The ProShine stuff's top class (best I've used) and most of there other makes might be good too.
