poorboys interior dressing is the thing to use one of the best products around

i use Meguiars Quik Detailer - Meguiars Car Care and Detailing Products for sills & door shuts and then wax them and they will always be easy to clean

After hovering about on Detailing World,
alot of the lads there swear by Tesco's 'Daisy'
All Purpose Cleaner. Same story as most products;
dilute it to 10:1 for interior use and 4:1 for sills/shuts and
under bonnet. Use it myself and have no complaints.
It's only something like 89p for 1 1/2 L or something like that.

No sweat Remember Tesco stock handy things like
cheapie microfibre cloths and wheel cleaner, it's always worth
a wee ferret about in both the car care section aswell as the
cleaning isle.
