The Cleaning Products section covers the full range of cleaning and care products used across a classic MG, from bodywork shampoos and polishes through to interior cleaners, leather care, glass treatments and engine-bay degreasants. The sub-sections divide the products by their principal application area, with each sub-section gathering the most appropriate products for that area of the car.

Application Approach
A typical classic-MG cleaning routine starts with bodywork, wash with the appropriate shampoo, dry with microfibre cloths, polish where needed, and finish with wax or sealant. The interior follows, vacuum the carpets and seats, clean the vinyl and plastic trim with appropriate products, condition the leather upholstery, and clean the glass with appropriate glass cleaner. The wheels are typically cleaned during the bodywork stage, with appropriate wheel-cleaner products suited to the specific wheel type. The engine bay is typically cleaned periodically rather than at every valet, the degreasant work is done after the rest of the car has been cleaned, with appropriate protection of electrical components.
The technical team is available to advise on the right product combinations for a specific car and intended cleaning approach.
