Cleaning the Glanza

[ady2k5]

Hello all

What is the best stuff to use on the Glanza for cleaning it. What do you tend to use when you give it a good wash and wax, the dashboard and also the engine bay. Wheres the best place to buy the stuff from as i might go out later today and see what i can get it and give it a good clean sometime this week.

Any info on making the Glanza smell nice, what freshener are you using in yours?

Thanks

i mainly use auto glym stuff on my GT and i find taking your g/f for a spin makes it smell nice without spending money on air freshners

you can get the autoglym stuff ar most auto factor or Halfrauds

girlfriends you have to go a bit further field to get the better quality ones

I used Meguiars Gold class shampoo and conditioner, i polish with Autoglym Super Resin polish. Inside a good hoover and wipe the dust off the dashboard and dial area etc. Windows cleaned inside and out with a window cleaner, doesnt matter what kind. Most of my stuff is bought from Halfords or either Motorworld in which is the closest to my place.

My car is always full of air fresheners lol, because iam a girl and like my car to smell nice

But there's a big range in Halfords, but just don't choose the ones that you can't really smell or ones that are packaged really tightly, i had two before from there and wow, the smell in my car nearly knocked me out because it was soooooooooo strong!! Had to bin it because it made me feel sick. lol All try and error hey. The little foot shape ones from halfords are quite nice or sometimes the Richbrook Poppy ones

Well i personally use auto glym shampoo and conditioner, give it a great scrub from roof down and do each section seperately and rinse each section as you do it. Then buy a geniuine leather chamois and dry the car so you dont get water marks.

Next is the 3 step meguiars treatment.

step 1 is a paint restore ( apply to panel, work in, and buff off) do this for every panel seperately

step 2 is a polish ( apply to panel, work in, and buff off) do this for every panel seperately

Step 3 is a carnauba wax ( apply to panel, work in, and buff off) do this for every panel seperately

Admire shiney gleaming car.

Look at my pics of my GT after i done all this.

Each bottle costs £8 so three is £24 from halfords

chamois is £12

Inside use the dyson, cleans great.

My pics are in a thread named something like waxed my car or just search for threads by my forum name...
