Hi all, was wondering if the AA would still recover your car if you went to the Isle or Wight?

I tried the Autoglym cleaner, excellent results!

Cheers I will look for the Autoglym cleaner in Halfords

Has anyone got any tips on how to clean their vinyl seats and the dashboard to bring some life back into them? Most cleaners dry the vinyl out and make it look dull. Id like to get a bit of life and shine back into the dashboard and door cards and seats.
