Oyster leather seats.

tourer · 29th August 2016, 18:18

Evening all.
Although my query is not related to a 75 this time, I would really appreciate some advice.
I have a BMW 520d with oyster (cream) leather seats. The leather is fine but the bases are a cream coloured textured hard plastic. They are collecting the odd black (dirty) scuff or two which I assume is from people's shoes.
They are very stubborn to remove. Have tried fairy liquid with elbow grease, meths, T-Cut etc with not a lot of success.
Anyone got a simple, easy solution?
Thanks in advance.

Try a strong dilution of an apc, (all purpose cleaner) scrubbed in with a nail brush to get in the grain of the plastic, hope this helps.

Autosmart G101 and a small detailing brush should get that cleaned up.

Not sure what a pen eraser is.

Will Google it.

Ah, now I remember. I had one at school.
That was 49 years ago, though.
Memory not so good these days.
Thanks again.
