I watched this with interest. Disappointed that the car was grey, as it is one colour that in my opinion does not benefit from polishing as others, but what was more noticeable was that the front passenger seat material (alcantara) appeared stretched at the end of the process. Interiors are always notoriously difficult to clean, but the simple solution is to never let them get into such a state.

The car looked a bitsa though, Mk1 seats and mirrors and the interior looked like a Rover 75 one with the wooden dash and the colour of the centre console and door cards |

A good effort on the clean up, but I really don't like the tyre shine. Never have.

To be honest, I'd be more concerned about the broken bonnet cable and his comment that he may leave it to the customer to fix.
He said this was why he hadn't been able to clean the engine, so presumably he hasn't checked oil; water levels etc, nor carried out even a basic service . Who knows what may be awaiting the new owner when they eventually get the bonnet open. Cliff

That's pretty clean, down where I am and all the country roads, it ends up covered in mud and excrement on a regular basis. I used to get upset, now don't take any notice, clean one day, dirty the next.
