i've heard of loads of people using all sorts of expensive products to get a show shine to ther interiors, often leaving nasty silicone shite everywhere... i HATE silicone slime personally.

i clean my interior with........



baby wipes!!!! if it's good enough for my kids arses, it's good for my car!

seriously though, they contain light detergents, alcohol and son't shed any lint. when used on all plastics and leather they leave a lovely satin finish with no streaks. they also are very good at getting grease out of cloth trim. rubbers some up lovely too. glass and polished metal come out streak free.

in case you're worried about your leather, you can get them with soothing aloe-vera in too!!! i throw leather cream on afterwards though, just in case...

the best but, i can totally scrub every surface of our leather trimmed E34 sport with Ԛ£1 worth of them and it looks totally mint! :cool:

:D thought you might pop up and vouch for this

my experience the other day got out some milk that had been spilt down the side of the seat and festered in the 'nasty' area between the baby seat and car seat... yummy! looks properly lush now though! you really wound't know a child had ever been in there!
