interior cleaning
have any members got any tips for cleaning the inside of the car, including seats, but mostly the vinyl side trim. mine's maroon, or used to be when it left the showroom, but i'd now like to shine her up again after many years of ingrained grime.
any advice on the best product(s) to use would be much appreciated.

Re: interior cleaning
Autoglym Vinyl cleaner is grand and gives it a lasting, rich shine, but I would recommend you clean it first as other members have said if the grime is that bad.

Re: interior cleaning
a second thumbs up for Vanish soap- was tested by Practical classic years ago (when the magazine was still OK) and was the surprise winner for cleaning vinyl trim. Much cheaper too than any proprietary commercially available vinyl cleaner.
Vanish will remove all the grime and bring the vinyl back looking like new, then simply protect with Armorall non- shiny formula.

Re: interior cleaning
I can vouch for Vanish soap, and a nail brush if nessecary...

Re: interior cleaning
Shocking I know but I use spray kitchen cleaner. Spray on, scrub a bit and wipe off. Protect with some leather type cleaner and its fine as anything. Cheap too
Just J-j-j-jiggle it a bit.

Re: interior cleaning
Yes, all good motor factors and car accessory places sell this. It is in a squirty bottle rather than an aerosol can.docgibbons wrote:thanks for the tips. i'll start with the vanish.
