I just can't get mine clean, tried washing up liquid, Flash and meths, any ideas anyone?

[Danny]

i'm guessing they're leather

do you know what it is that's marked it?

high vis jackets mark seats, as does new denim!

i need my driver's seat too

if the seats are leather, ask in a shoe shop what they recommend for cleaning leather shoes, even though its a different leather they might have something worth trying

Aghhh


No the back of the seat backs - used the VAX on the front!

Ingrained dirt in the plastic grain

Foot scuffs were my problem.

Got most out with white spirit and lots of elbow grease - but not great. Tried some plastic trim cleaner but not much use. Haven't tried WD40 that's quite a good cleaner sometimes.

Try the aerosol 'foaming cleanser' used to clean computer equipment
That should clean the plastic

I'll try white spirit tomorrow night, failing that I'll try to find some computer cleaner

[hol666]

  don't try that cillit bang stuff, probably melt the plastic!!!!

I think halfrauds do something that'll do it, just can't remember what its called, sorry.  

That said, I have used something called Big Industrial Wipes, most decent decorators merchants sell 'em.  Pretty effective, just don't use of hard plastic or at least wipe off straight away with a clean cloth...  :-/

you could try a produck called armoural (spelling may not be correct) from any good car spares shop, it has a little pic of a viking looking dude on it, cleaned the dash of my works transit a treat and that was stinking dirty typical white van

Used this on mine at the weekend to get rid of the dirty scuff marks. There are different grades going from shiney to matt it's your choice.

Have you tried some neat Vax liquid and a soft brush?

Not yet but I had a wet bum this morning

I have always found Autoglym interior shampoo to be most effective.  Cleaned up the interior of my Omega a treat!

[The Barge Captain]

Maplin sell a foam cleaner in an aerosol.  Even works well on cloth seats / carpet.

[miggy]

Autoglym everytime, works wonders on leather, plastic, cloth, used it for years, it is expensive but it does work.

Not another visit to Halfrauds

The cleaning/waxing fanatic that i am, I get my stuff off the bay, cheaper than Halfords even with postage, I tend to buy the full valet packs as opposed to individual bottles.
