I find its difficult to do it minus vital equipments I simply rely on my service station guy.Always do routine cleanings by myself! With two kids as passengers ,Interior needs extra work most of the time!

I get mine done at 3M or Laughs .. waxing is done at home by me.. cut and poilish I get a guy to come home and do it so that I could see what he's doing.. and could point out on the spots he misses...

i use dash interior and tyre's, wax I use 99

Machang i used son of a gun dash board spary and some of it accidently sprayed on my speedometer area and the speedometer now is white faded. You know? like misty. Cant take it off. I got armorall tyre spray too.

waxing is done once a month or so at home...

too much of a risk to let unknown ppl mess with é car - had a bad experience with a well known detailing cntre who use Helix/Shell stuff in Mount with another vehicle - so since then prefere é home approach

interior is very straightforward - between a bit of Amourall,sheen & a hand held vacume most work is sorted

but will be going in for a cut n polish to é ppl who handled é paint job next week

Did you see my speedometer? the transparent front cover gone whitish-can you recomend anything?

Use Brasso and wipe. Mine was in a similar state when i bought the car. The task is a bit painful, since what you are doing is cutting the spray damaged layer of plastic to bring a new layer up.

plastic layer?

from where?

[Memphis]

plastic layer?

from where?

Your speedo meter .

You have to put some Brasso on the misty areas and wipe. Just like you would polish a copper pot ot something

Brasso has a "mild" abrasive quality (mild being the operative word, as opposed to say.. frikin sandpaper). So it takes away a micro-thin layer from the surface its applied. This layer, in the case of your dashboard clear-plastic, incidentally happens to be the one damaged from those sprays.

Comprendé ??

Hmm I use STP Sun of a Gun as well on the dash.. been using it for years on a couple of cars before as well and never had an issue. Hola you may have a minor crack in your speedo dash. You may wanna consider removing the speedo section of the dash and try to wiping it inside out. This is a delicate job though.

On other news: nothing like a good DIY car wash on a lazy Poya morning

Lucky people! I had to come to office today and woke up at 5.45 to wash the car as it was so dusty.

No machang no crack on the speedo dash. Do you spray directly to the wall of the speedometer? I did. And if i wipe with a wet cloth it clears off for a while and again builds up

since i don't really like the car i drive anymore.. it only gets washed every 3000km's.

Nope never spray directly. Always on to a sponge first.

hmmm the shampoo I use is far to expensive to use on the car. FYI it aint no sunsilk
