The Megs Interior Quik Detailer is pretty good actually

Ideally you want some 1Z (Einszett) Cockpit Premium.  It's awesome!

I used to be indecisive.......... but now I'm not so sure!

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

1Z (Einszett) Cockpit Premium < this mail order only? or can you get it general retail shops?

Do both these products remove dirt/marks if you get me? as some products notice are what I see as cover ups. Just buts a coat of something over the surface?
or should I wipe it all down first?

Says, long lasting shine for weeks - this a gloss finish?

That stuff is utter sh*te.

Get some Daisy all purpose cleaner from Tesco.

Dilute it 10:1 and then your done.

To clean it? the  use one of the above products? or is this a simple 'Clean and done' product?

and do I just use a sponge? or cloth?

Dilute it down and use it as a cleaner only. If you want a finishing/trim product, TBH mail order is the way to go. I getmy stuff from elitecarcare, monzacar and autobrite. A fellow forumite, Keith, has his own detailing store called the washshop.

Used some today.........results were pretty dam good have to say! Really removed the 'marks' guess just need to get a sealant now to protect it.

Slowly building my 'detaiing' up

Outside pretty std at moment due to exterior needing a good correction so until I can do this I keep it a simple wash and polish.

Didn't get the daisy, but got a lemon based all purpose cleaner........put it into a sray bottle ratio 2/10 as I had some heavy marks and its left a pure, clean, smear free matt finish. £1.20 and was great.

Like say - just need something to seal it - maintain it.
