Default Great stuff for cleaning a back box.

Well lads. I was looking at my back box after I cleaned the car the other day and as it was filty I decided to see if I could clean it up a bit. It's new enough but was still fearly dirty in side the oval as you would expect and the shine had gone of the Out side itself.

I got a Pad and some soap and after a small bit of rubbing on the inside of the oval it was clear that it wasn't going to work and there was no way I was going to scrub the outer side as this would just scratch it.

I went into the house and was think about stuff that might clean with little effort and shine to without scratching it.

This came into my head as we use it to clean the glass oven top and it does a great job with out scratching it.





So off I went with the bottle of W5 cream Clean from Lidl which only cost a couple of euro.

I was amazed at how easily it lefted the dirt. Just by putting a small bit on a cloth and lightly rubbing it. In no time at all it was looking like this.







I have to say I am delighted with the results. :thumbsup: :subaru:

Wilkinsons do Liquid Soda Crystal at £1.25 for 500mls. It's the danglies on cooker tops and awesome on your exhaust. I use it on my wheels too.
