'The Clean'
I finally think I'm in the mood for doing 'The Clean'. The full works. Inside and out of the whole car.
Just wondering what sort of products I should be using for the best result?

A lot of the plastic is still pretty clean and shiny from when I brought it, I think they used some sort of silicone spray which has lasted really well.
I just used Mr. Muscle, Window and Glass cleaner to clean all the windows on the inside lol It's worked really well actually

Yogi have you got a pressure washer or Gilmour Gun etc as Snow Foam is normally used with a pressure washer etc.
Cheers
