cleaning

Well I've been cleaning the E320 as often as I can so it's been easy to keep on top of, still very pleased in how it shines up though. The car has simply been hand polished with some Autoglym Super Resin Polish and then coated with two layers of Collinte 845. Today the car was pre-washed...

The wife's new slk is in very good condition but like most the engine bay has never been touched by the look of it and being a fussy so and so I would like to keep it clean,what's the best method for doing this(not steam cleaning)?

Well both the CLS and the E Class were given a clean up this weekend. Nothing too crazy just the usual pre-wash with Citrus Pre-Wash, two buckets, rinse and dry. The E-Class received a second layer of Collinite 845, the CLS received a wipe down with some Dodo Juice Red Mist...

Before the CLA I never bothered actually cleaning the car myself but my cousin had a bad incident with a local car wash Now I find it quite therapeutic but would appreciate anyone giving me some brands of cleaning products to get. Which snow foam do you guys use and does it matter?

Hi all, I've got the C204 AMG Sport Plus seats with half leather, half suede. I've noticed watermarks, (soap/salt?) all over the suede, but it won't brush off. Anyone got any experience cleaning these? Tips would be appreciated.

Hi The brand new GLE we got a couple of weeks ago, cleaning today ie taking the dust off it as rarely driven. As I was removing the dust form the outside of the car, and car was open as I has moved it on the drive, all four windows opened by about 3 inches - it startled me. The car has the...

Could anyone recommend the best cleaning wipes for Artico leather? It seems that when my new car was prepped by the dealer, they have used something or other on the Artico dash, which has left some swirly marks. Are the leather cleaning wipes from various manufacturers best for using on...

In May I'll be doing the yearly yard clean and was hoping for a more lasting result this time. What do you guys use for degreasing, remove oil stains, algae etc and finally for sealing the driveway at the end of cleaning. All I have for now are a couple of Karcher but I'll be needing a...

Ok I'm probably committing some sort of ultimate sin by even asking this question on an enthusiast website. But are the 'waterless' car sprays any good and if so which is the best to go for, if I do choose to go down this route. I'll have a polar white C250 this time next week and know the...

Is it mainly the older cars that get treated to such lavish and time consuming detailing? I've just spent an hour washing, drying my car... I am struggling to find time to do more planned detailing like Polishing and claying etc. I thought I was OCD about car hygiene but some of the guys put me...

Can anyone recommend how best to clean dark grey/ black Dinamica interior? Is it just a case of using a damp cloth, or are there specific products on the market to do this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

My alloys look great but are a pain to clean being multi cross spoke with, count it, roughly 60 gaps that needs inserting to clean per wheel! That's a total of poking some form of brush or cloth covered finger and giving it a good fingering excuse my French, 240 times for all 4 wheels. I...

What's the best way you guy's clean alloys, and keep them looking good.......please......

Hi All what in your opinion is the best window cleaner for the inside of the windscreen? the stuff i have leaves smears and doesn't clean very well. Many thanks for any info given.

Off to see the family today who haven't seen my car before. I can't turn up with the MB looking dirty so I know what I will be doing at 9am this morning.:D

Friends I'm looking to clean up a nice set of 15 slot alloys. Specifically I want some advice on cleaning the baked on brake dust out of the 15 holes? I have some very good alloy wheel cleaner. But this is well baked and needs something like a nylon flap wheel on a drill. Anything abrasive...

Hello, my first post. Great site. My 2005 180k C class, 70k has a p0171 fault, I serviced it over the summer, new air filter etc. Two questions: 1. I want to repair this myself. I understand that some people replace the MAF as a throw away item and some advocate cleaning it. Any...

Hi My W124 has mushroom/cream coloured material on the door rubbers. They are a bit grubby. Any tips on cleaning them/products/techniques to use? I thought about removing them and popping them in the washing machine on a gentle wash?

Been playing around with a vacuum steam cleaner, looks promising so far. Although it's hard to get an absolute even finish I can see it's an improvement. After twenty years of grime buildup it just takes time and patience to remove - at least it is possible without having to replace the liner...
