Right, my car has really been neglected since i got it. It's done 17k and been washed about twice. Some fucked reversed into my passenger door so that needs replacing and spraying. Will get that done in the next couple of weeks or so.

What are the best products to use in cleaning it up to get it mint again?

nope, you just need to mix in some tomato ketchup to prevent this, also helps to remove security tags, 2 birds one stone and all

Just given it a wash

Tend to use the cheap Tesco wash and Wax as i'm too tight to buy the good stuff All the wax will just polish off anyway.

Off to purchase some Autoglym Super Resin Polish and Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection. It's pissing down at the moment so looks like it will be next weekend when it gets a polish.
