I use autoglym instant show shine on my interior. Brings the black up really well.

I've found that Halfords dashboard shine(or whatever it's called exactly), keeps it nice and shiny for ages, is as good as anything.

Agree there , matt finish looks a lot less 'plasticy'.

Surely the interior plastics are not meant to be shiny? It's all matt and textured isn't it? It'll end up looking like a third-hand back-lot Mondeo!

The ONLY thing i've used in my last 3 new cars interior was ......
A damp Chamois leather.
I kid you not, it does EVERYTHING and looks like new after, including the windows.

i agree with the chammy but i use proper window cleaner and blue roll for the windows, it brings a certain freshness to the interior! and its quick to do!

What is the best way to clean windows (both inside and out)? I never get mine looking as clean as they did when i first picked her up. I've tried all sorts and the best of the bunch so far is normal glass cleaner and kitchen towel!

Someone said a while ago about vinegar and newspaper, does this work?
