Finally after 7 months my little Beat is back on the roads :D

So now's time to get back into the habbit of cleaning more often than I drive it hee hee

Thought I'd share with you what I use, in case you wish to try it with your own beat!

I use Miguiers gold class shampoo first with warm water and the Meguiers wash mitt (I find it gets bugs off with ease), I then rinse it with cold water and use a clean sponge to ensure no streaks are left. I then hand dry it with a towel.

Next I use the Meguiers Gold class wax and wax the paintwork. I use a brand of soft top cleaner and conditioner that I've forgot the name of :suicide: and buff the remaining wax off using a Meguiers woolen polishing mitt.

Using the Autoglym glass cleaner I polish all the windows inside and out, leave to dry then remove with a clean towel. I sometimes forget I've got windows it makes them so shiney!

And here's something I higly recommend for all beat owners, the Autoglym vinyl and rubber care. I used it on all the seals and doors linnings and it bought them up lovely. It cleaned them really well and left them looking really shiney.

Also really good for the roof seals

So there you go, that's how I polish my little Beat, and it really does come up looking really reflective. Even the carbon fibre front splitter.

Thank you :)

The carpet is acustic (sp?) carpet normally used to cover subwoofer enclosures. I ripped all the original carpet out and put it in the bin because it was really really nasty and smelly hee hee
