  1. I worked as a car valeter for about 5 years for a few different local car dealers and the 2 things I used the most were Auto Smart tardis. I would put that stuff on everything it can leave a bad solvent smell inside the car if you use to much, it takes quite a while to evaporate.

    Then I would use Trafalgar Spotting Solvent on the carpets and seats it gets all the grubby marks off. It can make an old oily carpet come up like new. Forget upholstery shampoo use spotters instead its much quicker. I'd use it on plastics as well but sometimes it would take the shine of the plastic. This stuff evaporates much quicker so it doesn't leave a bad smell in the car. Don't forget to screw the lid back on the tin after use.

    I worked for a coach firm and there was one driver who would wash his coach with petrol.

    If you're on a budget engine oil is a good substitute for back to black, I used it on my old 106 bumpers. Just watch you don't rub your clothes up against the bumpers after you put it on.

    Hi there

    Where can you get trafalgar spotting solvent? have you got a link?

    Cheers

    Picked up my first lupo last week, a 1.4S Open Air in black. She runs beautifully :)

    It was owned by a farmers wife, and it's a little rough around the edges, but nothing a bit of time and elbow grease won't sort out.

    Looking forward to getting some lows and wheels sorted out once it's looking a bit sharper. This ugly duckling will turn into a black swan :)
