Get down to Halfords and pick up some Autoglym super resiin polsh ( SRP )and Autoglym extra gloss protection sealant ( EGP ) Pick up some Autglym interior shampoo whilst your there if it's your carpet or headlining that needs cleaning . On the alcantara use a damp microfibre cloth the wipe down .

You can either apply it with the little yellow foam pads or microfibre apllicators which i prefer .

Also you'll need some good shampoo .The extreme body wash n wax is my prefered choice .

Then you'll need some waffle weave drying towels to dry the car before you polish , seal etc ........

And some plush microfibre towels for removing polish , sealant and wax .

A good wax is the xxx hardcore paste wax

If you spritz the microfibre with a little of the quick detailer it helps when removing the wax .

If you can buy all the products from the same place , you'll save on p+p .

A list of all the product websites . P21's seems to go out of stock pretty regularly . It's also available on ebay .
