A friend of mine's selling his Toyota Surf and wanted to tart it up a bit to aid in the sale. He said there was no point in going overboard, so we didn't! It got:



EXTERIOR:

Hyper Wash

Safe D-Greaser to tyres and arches

(Wheels got a quick P21S, but they're knackered so not much point really)

#80

NXT

AG Glass polish then NXT All Metal Polysh on chrome

NXT Glass Cleaner

AG Bumper Care on all trim

Armourall Insane Tyre Dressing (experiment!)



INTERIOR:

Vacuum

Autosmart Bio-Brisk then steamed (except headlining)

APC 10:1 and AG Super Sheen on vinyl

NXT Glass Cleaner

The most impressive clean-up though was the headlining. His brother's a smoker and drove this car for a few years before he got his hands on it. The headlining was heavily stained with nicotine so I thought I'd give Autosmart's Bio-Brisk a go. The results speak for themselves - it's one seriously good and effective product.



(The light's not dirty - the heat from the bulb has actually burnt the plastic)

In total it took the both of us a little over six hours, which I didn't think was too bad considering how dirty it was to start with.

Looks great!

What is the extra side view for? Blind spots?

It's a little mirror that points at the ground to aid in parking (remember we drive on the wrong side of the road!).
