Default Cleaning second hand kits

Hi ppl

Having bought few second hand kits does anyone have some good recommendation on useful/ effective cleaning solution?

Tips on what to avoid would also be welcome!

Thanks

Naushad

GT 85 works wonders on your plastic parts, Once I've stripped a car down, I give all plastics a good scrub in the sink with a dash of fairy in warm water - then once dry, lightly spray on GT 85 for that new look..

Spot on, thats what I do (rare, I admit!) - usually use wd40 since I have it kicking about, but I think the gt85 drys / wipes off cleaner.

Im also a big GT85 fan, i love the smell of it too. I usually spray, wipe, spray again and then blast off with my compressor. Works a treat.
