Chrome Mega Clean, spray it on and leave it for say 20 seconds and wipe off.

I’ve been on poverty spec using washing up liquid and warm water tonight to get the bulk of the detritus off

You say poverty spec but for the amount you'll have used it's a lot dearer option than g101.

Use correctly diluted all purpose cleaner (i.e. G101). Spray it on, leave it work for a few moments, then wipe off with a microfibre cloth. For stubborn grime (i.e on the pedals), use a softish scrubby brush, agitate it after applying the cleaner. Wipe off with microfibre cloth.

If you apply these sorts of materials to plastics in too concentrated a solution, or you allow it to dry on, it will cause them to fade. Better to have it too weak than too strong. It might also take the decals off your buttons etc if you aren't careful. For the controls, screens and other more delicate bits you may be better off with a more gentle dash and trim cleaner from an automotive supplier.

You won't beat a proper glass cleaner for the windows. Spray on, wipe with one side of the cloth, turn over and buff until clear with the 'clean' side. Voila.

I doubt it, probably 5-10ml of budget washing up liquid in warm water cleaned a very dusty cab

I like to think I’m still up there.

All autoglym products on here, I find chrome leaves a shiny finish on the trims which isn’t a good look.

however the chrome air freshener spray is lovely. A blast every few days keeps it smelling lovely.

Colin v6, nice to hear from you and see how clean you keep the newholland tractor, do you fit a seat cover, if no why?

 

[YELROM]

You can see a seat cover in the second photo.

 

[ColinV6]

Seat cover is taken off for clean work, it’s on 90% of the time. Seat is pristine underneath it. No shine on the leather either.

Just one question?

the gloves in the cab?

do you put gloves over them to keep the cab ones clean?

If so where do you store the over gloves?
