    house hold items to clean cars?

    DOVW os on sunday, does anyone know how to get a car looking showable in a day with only items found around the house?
    I have the normal Tyre shines and carwash and sponges and things, but are there house hold items i could use on the leather? The carpets? the dash? the glass?

    Im pretty poor at the moment and i don't want to spend any money.

    I know. How come no one wants to drive an hour and a half from melbourne to my place? Its a straight line and its all 100km/h the whole way to pakenham, then its 100 again till my place!

    But anyway. Are there any items i should catagorically NEVER use?





    (Conundrum for yas. If there are 2 sections of 100km/h, which could be writen 2 x 100km/h, does that make 200km/h?)

    is dishwashing liquid GOOD or BAD? I used to use a little bit in hot water all the time... Also used Wool Wash detergent.

    dont use dishwashing liquid on paint, it will remove all protective coatings of polish/wax etc.

    warm water and wool/delicates stuff is ok on leather just dont make it too strong.
