Interior cleaning?

[Pride07]

The car needs a good clean.

1. The previous owner smoked or something and i need to get rid of the smell. Something that can get rid of smells deep within seats.
2. What products do I use to clean/wipe the dash and plastics, I want to avoid it getting glossy and its reflection showing up on the windscreen.
3. What do I use on interior glass, I don't want anything to make the glass shine, just streak free and clean

I live near a halfords, any good products I can get from there or ebay/amazon?

(Is this section just for the exterior of the car?)

to start off with autoglym and meguires always works well and isnt too dear and available it halfords

What about the smell? That has top priority at the moment, i want a new car small or no smell

Try Autoglym Fabric Stain Remover. Apparently works over a period of time to remove the bacteria that causes the stain/smell.

I rented a Rug Doctor from Homebase. My seats etc are like brand new now!
I got the idea from these guys: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNMAmhGrxR8

The Rug Doctor looks like the best solution, I can rent one from the local morrisons. Thanks

I don't think this stain remover will penetrate as far as the rug doctor would. Might just spray it anyway.

Any products for getting the new car smell? Thanks

That seems to be it, chemical guys odour eliminator & New Car Air Freshener seems to be the combo for me, i hope i can use them both.

Although i have to say the stripper smell does intrigue me

Thanks

and a Black Ice Magic Tree Always rounds it off nicely!

What can i use on the glass?

Autoglym Fast Glass or Autoglym Car Glass Polish? Not sure how they differ

And what can i use to clean the interior plastics? Just to clean, not shine.

Poorboy's do a nice interior dressing that doesn't leave a glossy shine, smells nice too.

I use the Meguiars glass stuff from Halfords, does the trick!

Is there something special about 'Black Ice magic trees'? Are they better than other air fresheners?

Personal preference mate!

Just love the smell.

Just love the smell.

How much you payed for them?

 

[DB.]

It was about £3.20 for 5 from Amazon.

Not bad. 2.00 for one is stupid to last two days :/
