house hold items to clean cars?

the funiest thing I have used in my time(and I still use it) is a NEW toilet brush for scrubing lightly the carpet and cloth seats as im vacumming.the harder bristles make the sand and other bits slightly jump up and with my other hand directly behind the brush is the vacuum nozzle.
gets all the sand out and leaves your carpet looking new!!!!

dont laugh too hard guys.

Mr Sheen works a treat, specially after using C18 to get rid of the bugs.

Windex on windows FTW.

so, my mission tommorow is to get the golf looking hot for no outlay.

my plan of attack is thus.

• Wash. In the backyard with my kenco noodle and bug spunge and eagle 1 professional car wash. (can only be bought in a 20L drum!)
• chammous. Gotta dry it. gotta do all the gaps too.
• polish. I think i have some kitten number 1 somwhere, i will see if i can find it.......
• steel wool the exhaust tips. Get the chrome blingin' again!
• Paint the inner gaurds. A can of $2 paint from supercrap does the trick, get it all looking tidy.
• tyre shine. All the tyres, the bumpers, the skirts, the lips, the moulds, the flairs, the side repeater lenses, the spoiler, EVERYTHING!
• outside glass. Can't be bothered polishing the glass, so i will juust get the windex out and some paper towell.
• Vachume the carpets, the door pockets, the center consol. God knows it needs it. Damn country towns and there dirt roads.
• i still need somthing to do the leather with. Normally i just use Kitten interier cleaner. but i have none left.
• Same problem with the dash and door cards. I have nothing left! I will chamouse them though, nothing lifts dust like a damp chamois.
• i need an inside window cleaner. They tell me you cant use windex on tinted windows.

Does anyone know what i can clean the roof lining with?

you shouldn't use windex because it contains ammonia and it will damage the tint.

My bad, didn't know it can do that.

(I don't have tint)

Whats the problem with using Enjo? We just bought a car cleaning glove and polishing cloth from Enjo, and i used it for the first time this morning. I thought the results were excellent, but is there some heinous scratching effect that they dont tell you about???

windex is fine on all windows on the exterior, a damp cloth is sufficient for the insides where the window tint is.

House hold products tend to destroy clearcoat. Dish washing fluid is notorious for it. Ever tried turps with 80% water, tend to get alot of crap off I'd keep it away from paint though. Oh and Vodka and Rakija as I've mentioned before for windows ... nothing on the planet seems to work better, and no I'm not selling any though lol...
