Location: Coventry/West Midlands		my car was owned by a smoker & the interiour is filthy from the car being smoked in, how & what products should i use to remove the grime?

its all filthy, boot area & cabin, headlinging is obviously the worst!

i'm not sure where to start to be honest! i've not had a car this dirty

Location: Birmingham		Could do with some pictures if you can?

Clean all the plastics, seat frames, window seals etc with a mild solution (around 10:1) of APC (Daisy All Purpose Cleaner from Tesco is good).

You're probably going to need to get the seats, door cards and carpets cleaned with decent upholstery cleaner and extracted via a wet vac.

As for the headlining, wet vac might work but be careful as its bloody thin and it may either rip or sag.

Hope that helps

Location: Coventry/West Midlands		cheers pandy, thats a tesco cleaning product on my list for today, i have 3 bottles of 1001 upholsery cleaner & a couple of cans of fabric stain removers, as you said pandy, the headlining is the hard part! & typically its the worst part :O/ i will persevere though!
it looks cleaner in the pics than in the flesh!



i'm going to pick up some stardrops as this was recommended to me by a valeter for getting serious grime off the outside of the car as mine is really filthy but i know underneath the grime is a nice looking metro, i could do with some advice on how to clean the paintwork as usually i just wash my motor & polish it but i'd like to make the best of this metro i can!
heres a pic of the car in question, i have just placed the wheels in the pic next to the car, they're not bolted on!!!

the wheels i plan to paint silver

i have in my posession a bottle of turtle wax big orange, farclea g3, t-cut, max wax polish, a meguires clay bar, tyre paint, & various other bits n pieces, i have no proper car wax as i'm unsure which to buy
also i dont really knowwhat order to use the probucts?
