Hello, I'm Kimberly Wilson. I'm a psychologist, and in my new podcast, Complex, I'll be your guide

through all the information and misinformation that's out there about mental health.

I'm joined by expert guests covering topics from people-pleasing to perfectionism,

burnout to empathy, to find tangible advice so we can understand ourselves a little better.

Complex with me, Kimberly Wilson.

Listen on BBC Sounds.

Hello, I'm Greg Foote and welcome to Slice Bread, the BBC Radio 4 show that investigates

the wonder products promising to make you happier, healthier or greener.

Each episode, we follow the crumbs of evidence to find out if one of your suggested wonder

products is indeed the best thing since sliced bread or marketing BS. And today's

suggestion comes from James Walker, who is just outside Yoval. Hello, James. Hi, good morning, Greg.

Tell us then, James, what would you like to investigate today and why? Well, Greg, I'm a driving instructor

and the algorithms get hold of that and I'm bombarded by car cleaning products and the different finishes you can put on as well. Just to confirm, we're not talking about running your car through a car wash here, are we? We're talking about the special products that you can use to clean it at home. Yeah, that's right. I mean, I need to keep it looking reasonable. It's my main form of advertising when I'm out on the road. As I say, I'm just outside town, which is straight into the country, so I can't keep it spotless. It's got cowmark on it a lot of the time. So it's just something to help make it easy for me. And what have you seen? Oh, so much. All these fancy multicolored sprays and foams, and you spray this on and you leave it it and some of the products I've seen come in a whole rainbow of products and different smells as well. I'm just wondering, you know, what difference does that actually make? Well, James, you're not the only one who's asked us about these. Plenty of email sent in to slice.dbred at BBC.com.uk on this topic. Brian asks about car polish and coatings.

He wants to know if it's worth buying ceramic or graphene-based products. So we'll be discussing that,

Brian. Julie's email says, I was just about to wash my car and realized that I'd run out of

shampoo and it got me wondering, could I use washing up liquid? Thanks, Julie. We'll talk about

that in a bit. Have you ever

done that, James? When I was growing up, I just remember it was always just a squared of

washing up liquid, but I think I've read something recently that I might avoid that. But I'd be

interesting to hear the experts of you. We've got a few voice notes in as well sent to our WhatsApp

number 07543306-807, including this one from listener Clive.
