Economic car cleaning tips!
1)-Yes-I bought a large plastic bottle of Autxxlym ( on line from Amxxon)) which has lasted 2 summers so far!--very economical.
2) When really dirty-I am afraid I do use a mild squirt of washing up liquid to ease the dirt off with a sponge/hose/bucket. Tell me anyone who doesn't? Much cheaper than bottles of that car wash bubbles stuff.A quick wax afterwards gives a lovely shine.
3) I also occasionally buy a whole £1 packet of wax crayons from a £Pound Shop just for the BLACK one. Good for little scratches. Colour in and polish off!
3) Having a grey/black car-I also use a dark shoepolish for little mini scratches. Much cheaper than one of those much marketed Coloured Car Waxes.
4) If I'm feeling really lazy and go to get get my car washed and waxed in a handwash place-I ask the guys if when they wax they use my bottle of Autoxxym--since I reckon it's far better than the watered down pink liquid they use. They've never charged me extra.
5) For a clean dash- use a well known brand of surface cleaner costing £1 from a pound shop. Cheaper than any stupidly expensive Dash Shine. Top tip--let it dry before polishing off.
