HI
this is not raley a rover question but could be.
i have just recieved my ney company car ( £170,000 dennis bin waggon)
and as you can imagine its built to be hardwearing , keeping the outside clean is not a problem but the door cards and dash are made from a light coloured hard plastic simlar to the sort around the rear hatch opening on my zt-t but what gets the muck of it as i have tryed hot water and soap ,dashboard cleaner , ferniture polish but it still looks mucky when you have finished and i cant stand been sat in a mucky cab allday .
any ideas.

cheers
stephen.

yep, any all purpose cleaner, flash being a good one. scrub it off with a big yard brush - good as new!

What about Cillit Bang?

"Bang & the dirt is gone!!"

Used on my cards etc and not a problem...

Can't take credit for this as someone else told me to use it a while ago.

hi
couldnt get the flash blocks so i got some flash spray , when i sprayed it on the muck just run off and all i had to do was wipe it with a damp cloth (no big yard brush).
it went in for a six week service this week and the garage was highly delighted that they had finaly got a clean waggon to work on.

binemn can have standards too.

many thanks .

Well done Stephen. It's good to hear of someone keeping a Company motor clean and tidy. Even if it is a bin lorry!! My dad always had Company cars and kept them spotless, despite everyone giving him the "but it's only a Company car" twaddle.

Keep up the good work.
