Advice in sprucing up interior

Post by douglasgdmw » Mon Jun 05, 2006 9:13 am

Noticed that the interior of the car is looking really grubby. What would people recommend for polishing the aluminium in the interior.

Also there is a lot of dust/muck in the passenger foot brace I could not manage to get in it with the hoover attachment, what is the solution for getting the dust out :?

I've heard of somebody using baby oil (no, seriously) to shine up the ali...

Hmm sounds a bit Bo & Luke!

Luke Duke: You mean you're gonna make sweet love *in* it.
Bo Duke: No, I'm gonna have sex with it.

Nah - baby wipes (the cheapo kind with less balm on them) to remove flies from the clam. (Swiss) Tony Lawrence told me that one....

WD40 sprayed on a rag and wiped over the ali should remove the muck.

It's also good for cleaning up stainless steel kitchen appliances!
