Are you feeling ok fella? You posting in the detailing section????????? :teehee:

Use a soft brush/microfibre cloth with some warm water and some fairy liquid. That'll do the job. You could try some Autoglym Interior Shampoo to give it a slight sheen.

I think I've come across a little queer.. :P

I vacuumed the car and cleared it out at the weekend, and felt oddly let down by the grubby plastics..

Fairy liquid and water sounds just the job :)

I actually had a clean the other day and used some type of Mr Muscle Bathroom spray.

Surprisingly worked quite well! :D
