Cheers pinks if I wanted to get the sealant you stated and a separate shampoo which would you suggest? Also do they do a cleaner for the dash, not dash board because it's leather. Cheers mate been really helpful looks good stuff! RRS |

I use the autoglym sealant and occasionally wheel cleaner - been on since new and takes 30seconds to clean.

+1 for the Autoglym aerosol spray. Cheap as chips and pretty good stuff. Doesn't last like the liquid sealants buts its a doddle to redo. FF 4.4 V8 Soooo looking forward to this bad boy

If you go for the nano sealent listed, I believe, (i'm sure Polished Bliss could offer advice) if you wanted a cleaner for the wheels then the other link to the cleaner/sealent would be your best option I used to rate Billberrys no acidic wheel cleaner, great for sealed wheels but not so good on burnt on dust ![]() For all my plastic dash (lots on the FL2 as you'll know) I use 303 Aerospace protectorant http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog/30...ctant.html Great product as i can use on the dash, exterior plastic like mudflaps and engine bay plastic too, best thing is it doesn't leave it all shiny, its left clean and matt/satin finish. Says also can be used on leather too so it might protect the leather dash also (best check with PB on that) Every so often if I need to actually clean the dash, i will use a weak solution of APC (Meguiers All Purpose Cleaner) |

i have used a paint brush in the past, just make sure you tape up any metal with some masking tape first of you'll accidental scratch the alloy if you hit it |

Bilberry, dilute to 50:50 and spray on, works a treat and doesn't have anything harmful in it! |

Best regular treatment I've found is that spray dodgy dealers use to make everything new & shiny, it stays soft & oily and normally comes of with a soapy brush, carefully spray it on, avoiding the discs and move around with a soft brush or cloth |
