Interior cleaning products
 

Okay folks, I have a question regarding interior cleaning products for my lovely 75. Our interior is the light cream colour, with matching cream leather. I want to give the leather a good clean, and the centre console and door trim plastics also, but I do not want a silicon based product that will give everything a fake shine, and attract dust like no tomorrow. Does anyone have any thoughts on what are the best products (readily) available for both the interior plastics, and also our leather?
Andy:rolleyes:

Best stuff for the leather is Gliptones Liquid Leather. As well as treating the leather, it makes the car interior smell like a Bently - lovely stuff. I even keep the duster I use to apply it in the door bin, as the duster smells so nice.

I get mine direct from Gliptones via mail order here: http://www.liquidleather.com/index.htm

Hope this helps,

Cliff

Thanks Cliff. Just visited their site, and it looks like just the stuff we need. Will order some in the very near future.
Now anyone got any suggestions for the interior plastics?

Buy my Gliptone off Ebay tends to work out cheaper

A damp chamois leather wiped over the surfaces each week keeps the dust right down and a nice matt sheen to everything. Best of all, it costs nothing. To be honest I have for some time questioned the need for these plastic cleaners and sprays being needed, at least beyond cleaning dirty surfaces anyway. For ingrained dirt in the steering wheel AutoGlym interior shampoo with a soft nailbrush working it in gently, followed by wiping down with a damp cloth will make it look very good. Don't forget to feed the leather covering though, it needs it just as much as the seats.

For other leather surfaces my old method was diluted cleaner in a small bowel wiped over the facing, with a soft nailbrush for ingrained bits, followed by wiping off with a wet then a damp cloth, and finally feeding. I don't like using neat stuff in case of the surface colouring dissolving (a problem on older Rolls-Royce/Bentleys models) The other thing about AutoGlym shampoo is that it smells nice. Shallow eh?

Personally I use a very very mild washing liquid detergent (as in a couple of drops per litre or so) to gently wipe over all the plastic surfaces in the car. I find the detergent helps to remove greasy marks/build up.

As for seats I use some leather cleaner and conditioner that came with the sofa... ;) When this runs out though, I'll switch to another brand and continue with the conditioning.

I also find the glass rarely requires window cleaning solutions... damp cloth followed by drying with another dry cloth seems to do the trick.
