If you missed last night’s webinar you can view it here.

As we mentioned on the webinar, Lin Western has been investigating a product that sanitises your vehicle.  Whilst we are not endorsing it, we certainly feel it is worth considering for a deep clean.  There is one video link here. And another that has been done specially for us (I should mention that he’s not a real ADI), that you can view here.  The produce is called X-mist, and is not new.  It has been used for some time in coaches, buses etc and has two British Standards.
