cleaning

Hi, Does anyone have any recommendations for cleaning products for my black Leon fr exterior and interior as i want to clean it myself more often, but want to avoid swirl marks and want to keep the paint protected. Is snow foam cleaning worth doing also? And any other general cleaning tips are...

Hi all Recently picked up a Leon FR, online the car looked red but in person it'd definitely more orange, not sure on the actual name of the colour but I've not seen any others in this colour. Anyway all my previous cars were black, so I've got a load of sealants for black cars like turtle wax...

I've just inherited an old Skoda and I'm planning to use it as my daily driver. It's rough around the edges but needs a bit of TLC when it comes to the interior. I've given it a hoover and cleaned some of the plastics but the interior has a really bad mold smell which I'm convinced this is...

Hi All, Would have posted this in the general detailing forum but I have never had a car with such a soft, matte dashboard as the Mk4 Ibiza, so its time to ask the experts... The fine weather has inspired me to give the inside a clean up, want to get the interior plastics looking like new...

Has anyone cleaned their Arosa's throttle body? I noticed that mine looked grubby when I was replacing the air filter element and have read some stuff on cleaning them. I understand that if I remove it to clean it, I will have to get it re-aligned using vagcom, which would mean hunting down a...

Not sure if this is the right place for this post, but I couldn't find anywhere better. Basically, I've just cleaned my cone air filter and so I need to re-oil it. I was just wondering what oil people use (And where they get it)? Some people suggest WD40? I bought some K&N air filter...

Done a search but could see anything and thought this might be handy for those picking up a new 10 plate car What would you guys recommend doing in cleaning a brand new car i.e just picked it up from the stealer - chances are they might have given it a quick go over but for a better job would...

Hi, Recently had my MK1 Leon TDi MOT'd and the guy said it only just passed the Diesel emissions tests. He recommended putting some cleaning fluid in the tank but only do so once there is aonly a few gallons left. Can anyone recommend me any product? Do I just pour straight into the tank?

God only knows how this has happened, but I appear to have what I can only believe to be water staining on my drivers seat :(. Doesn't smell of anything else (thank god!) so I figure I might have left the window open a touch by accident, or some snow melted on it, or something. anyway...

I have a green cotton panel filter in my leon (150PD) and it could do with been given a clean. I rang one place to see about a cleaning kit and they just adviced to use fairly liquid and warm water and using a clean paint brush or something similar. Does this sound about right? Apparently the...

Hi all, I picked up a Speed Blue Cupra a little before Christmas but the continual snow and ice since then means I've not had chance to take her out much yet. Love it so far though from pootling about! :funk: Anyway, it's got the 18" Pavonis black alloys, and wanted a bit of advice from...
