Need some tips...
Hi there guys i just got myself a C4 VTR and want to give it a proper good clean soon! The interior seats etc are a bit grubby so whats the best product to clean them up? also ive tryed using back to black on some of the outside trim but overspray can make the paintwork greasy and sticky, any other ideas?

Autoglym interior shampoo works well.
For plastic strips I bought some spray from poundland

I always aqua-vac seats now, you'll probably have one at work so ask if you can borrow it! Rub some all purpose cleaner into the seats with water making sure it's really getting into the fabric then hoover it all out. You'll be surprised at the colour of the water.
I don't use back to black products any more. I'm old school and use boiled linseed oil. Does the trick but others will be more help with off the shelf products.

Autosmart - G101
Autosmart - Brisk
Bit of both with some water.
That what I use.
Either use a wet-vac or spray on and rub by hand with a interior bush...

what he said ^ but if you can, put brisk in a bucket with water then dunk a scrubbing brush in it and give your seats a good scrub, wet-vac all the water out the seat then wipe the seat down with a damp leather to and it gets a bit more dirt out then let the seats dry! seats look like new
