Cleaning Seat Leon Mk2 Do's & Don'ts

[Niblet-nut]

Hi Guys,

Well it was about time i cleaned the new addition to my family. So wanted feedback on what was good and not good.

Can anyone suggest the best for the following....

Dashboard - Now read the manual its says it must be solvent free. Now i purchased Sonax Trim Cleaner but haven't tried it yet. The guy in the shop assured me that its solvent free. Any one use this.

Wheels - Not sure thinking maybe Autoglym Wheel Cleaner

Glass - Not sure thinking maybe Autoglym Fast Glass

Wax - Autoglym Thinking Aqua Wax

Trim & Rubber seals - Autoglym Trim and Bumper gel.

Shampoo - Not sure ???


Any feedback would be appreciated.

Dashboard - ATM i am really liking meguiars super shine protectant

Shampoo - hubikote hubiwash ( doesnt strip waxes or sealants and is super slik)

Glass - gtechniq c1 for longer lasting or g6 for regular cleaning)

Wheel - iron x or wax tec fall off, for new tyre finish with swissvax pneu or shiny tyre finish meguiars tyre gel

Trim - gtechniq c4.

Wax - depends on budget under £50 I like dodo juice waxes up to £100 zymol glasur, swisswax and the like.

These are my personal favourites but others may disagree.

Are you thinking of using a clay bar as I too have a just bought a leon mk2 and have heard good things about clay bars but never used one before?

Bilt hamber autoclay or adk clay cloth with water just make sure you decontaminate your paint with iron X first

I take it the cheap clay bars on ebay are a big no no?

Ag do a clay bar for around 20.

Asking what people use is like asking them their favourite meal,

Dash I prefer mine Matt so I don't get glare, I use a water based product called pazazz

The wheels I use autoglym wheel cleaner, then autoglym true shine, but McGuire hot wheels is good too, I apply the shine with a brush before I wash as this get the losse off and leaves a semi gloss non wet look

Exterior I use fast glass or ordinar glass polish from autoglym or auto smart,
Wax I use he wax, it's like 25 and great, ill clay every now n then but I machine my cars twice to three times a year.

Clay bars are easy to use just remember to use plenty of lube/water before claying that area.

You'd be amazed what they pull off a newly washed car...
