G3 on a black car with a wool pad unless you really have too.. only Sand paper scratches if there is no other alternative i.e. buffing pads that will cut scratches out with a bit of effort, because sanding really thins out the paint and can lead to burn thru's if buffed too agressivly or overbuffing..

try to use rub on or brush on tyre sheen's as they a bit better than silicone based sprays as they fly all upside the car and can be a pain.. and always apply before polishing vehicle as sprays generally mist over the body of the car and can ruin hours of work.. and polish will remove most overspray..

dont use old razor blades to take glues and bugs etc of windscreens as they can scratch the glass if not used correctly always use a fresh blade if you are going to do so .. or use steel wool but avoid painted surfaces and rubbers..

prep-wash can be used on light colour interiors and carpets / headlinings to get rid of some stains and marks but i will dis-colour black interiors also with headlinings not to use too much as it can eat away at the glue used on the headlining .. mist the spray... and always use a clean cloth / rag etc:

theres probably many more i will think of..

Cheers
Matt
