Question

Check out the Autoglym range of products, but do be careful not to put a shine on the top of the dash, as it becomes a pain to drive with a low sun. I use some with a shine for lower parts, door panels etc, and some that leaves it matt for the top.

I hear Mark Underwood (swissol) has a non shine product called "Swift" for this sort of thing.

Midlife..

Anyone heard from Mark for a while ??

Thumbs down

A damp cloth in my area would leave lime stains in no time at all.....if I leave ANY drops on it after washing, they dry to produce lovely white circles that are a swine to remove.
