Many chemicals used for car servicing, maintenance and cleaning are very troublesome; and there are virtually no good substitutes to suggest for engine maintenance, rust-proofing or repainting. If you are very chemically sensitive, it is probably wise not to do your own car servicing and maintenance.

If you have repairs, rust-proofing or service work done to your car, involving chemicals which upset you, get the garage to keep the car for a few hours, overnight or a day or two extra to allow the fumes to disperse.

For cleaning, Simoniz have a range of solvent-free car shampoos, available from car accessory shops. To clean the inside of a car thoroughly, vacuum, or steam clean if something drastic is needed. Do not use car fresheners. For windscreen wash, fill bottles just with water. Ask garages not to use any detergents in windscreen wash bottles, and not to use any detergents or polishes if they are servicing or repairing your car.
