Advice please on how to clean the plastic(?) black roof on my Wind? I have yet to wash it (only had it a week!)
I usually use a spray and shine thing that cleans and polishes, no water required! But I am unsure if it will be ok on the roof? I have tried it on the smooth part of the lower section (that was fine) but the actual roof seems a bit more 'textured' and I am worried that it may mark with the spray stuff... Open to any advice or recommendations!

This is all because I read that you should avoid high pressure washing as it can make the roof leak? This is not something I want to find out the hard way so thought I would just go back to the spray and shine! I guess you are probably going to tell me to just wash it the old fashioned way!! :lol:
 
When they say 'roof leak' they mean where it meets the rest of the car.

I use car shampoo on it, same as I do on the rest of the car. If spray and shine is okay on other plastics, then it should be fine. If in doubt, fire off an e-mail at the manufacturer/importer.
 
Use this:

Makes the roof look like brand new.

Dissapears after a few heavy rains but I love the effect.

I use this product on the back diffusor, the front nose (plastic parts) and the interior.

Don't spill it on the windows or the metallic parts because it's super greasy.
 
I was thinking maybe some kind of 'back to black' type product?
Thanks for the advice!

Quick detailer and wax I'll be bringing :lol: although if the weather is kind I'll give it a good cleaning and claying that week!

However my alloys are fucked as I chose a remap over a refurb lol
 
Something that I'm missing is quick detailer.

I'm gonna try and wax it before I leave so I just have the give the wheels and some small details a quick shine.
 
Grrrr! And I thought they looked great!
Will need to get something to try stop the brake dust sticking then *sigh*
Why is nothing ever easy! :roll:
