Interiors take more punishment than most people realise. Sun through the windscreen cracks dashboards, and spilled drinks and dust work their way into fabric and become permanent.

Greyhound Auto Retail stocks dashboard and trim cleaners and protectants, upholstery and carpet cleaners, leather care products, glass cleaners and air fresheners. A dashboard protectant with UV filters is the single most useful product here given South African sun.

Vacuum before you apply anything wet, and test fabric cleaners on a hidden section first. Delivery is nationwide across South Africa.
