Wife, makeup, interior....

[ColinG]

My wife works for Lancôme so is always in amongst make up, foundation etc is the worst..

Anyways it seems to always be on key components in the car interior, steering wheel, sunvisor, stereo controls and other buttons.

What I need is some form of quick and easy wipes that will cover most surfaces and can be done without hassle to keep on top of it.
Any suggestions?

Buy her a bike ?

Buy her a bus pass ?

Efa, good Sir.

Any wipes will do, smart price ones, or if you're a baller, pampers.

Serious? These sort of things leave a natural "dull" finish without streaks?? I never even considered household products for cars...

 

[Mr Plums]

You mean to get rid of the make up, or to get rid of the make up, and protect, and to look good?

B&Q do some cheap wipes for interior.

Would have thought a mf and qd would be better though.

Get wife to use makeup remover wipes before getting in - save yourself some work

Tried this it still seems to get everywhere

Yeah don't just want a remover, want a nice clean interior at the same time @MrTom

Really?
Sounds like some one doesn't want his wife to know he has had another woman in the car who wears make up :wink:

Seriously tho with a 14 month baby who likes to chuck her milk everywhere and a 8yr old lad into rugby/football etc, I use baby wipes for a quick clean, and have a mini detailing box in the boot with leather, glass & dash cleaners and a few microfiber cloths.

You mean get rid of the wife

EFA. It's like someone having greasy as f**k fingers, the sort who you lend your phone to and end up wiping smears from it for the next half hour.

Want to wear makeup, fine but don't for f**k sake spread it everywhere.

I use these Colin;

I too am paranoid about using something that leaves any element of gloss but these, with a light wipe with a dry microfibre afterwards to remove any slight streaks, are perfect. They also do a gloss version...make sure you pick up the right one! Might seem expensive but two at the absolute most is all I need to do my entire dashboard.

Exactly the ones I came in to suggest, :ColinG Good call, Mark.

@gally do you have any other suggestions?

My steering wheel isn't looking it's best and I've been meaning to post about this for ages!

 

[Gally]

Is it full leather @Bubbles ?

 

[Gally]

Is it not easier just to make sure she doesn't have make up on her hands? It can't be falling off her face etc so it much be on her fingers. Quick wipe of her hand with some alcohol hand cleanser wipes bish bash bosh. It's hardly an old piece of s**t car. The wipes mark suggested is great.

Baby wipes suck balls. They smell like damp baby sick.

Sorry only just seen this, yes it is gally, with white stitching around the inside

I don't wear a lot of makeup, but I do apply my foundation with my fingers and as much as I keep telling myself to wash my hands before leaving I often forget.

Make her clean herself with alcohol before she gets in.

Then;

Interior cleaner with the hog hair brush.

Pat dry with a microfibre

Apply the spritz dressing.

Buff off.


And even get her to do the leather if need be.



Make her do that every time she enters the car until she doesn't want to drive it anymore.
