Cleaner / conditioner
Couldn't agree more. Gliptone is a very good conditioner but also agree using a cleaner first. It's sometimes amazing what comes off even fairly clean looking seats.
Macguires products are good (USA) but Jaguar do a range approved for Connoly leather which used to be reasonably priced. I tend to use Comma Interior clean for plastics but there are good products with a matt finish. Armour All comes to mind

I agree with the damp cloth method for keeping the general dust down, and that is exactly what I do on the upper dash surfaces. However, the lower door trim and centre console surfaces are suffering at the hand (or more accurately feet) of three yound kids, and no amount of wiping with damp cloths have removed the marks they have managed to accrue, bless their little cotton socks! As for the nice smell quote - not shallow at all, I too prefer the interior of my car to smell nice!:lol: Andy

Hi Andy,
I haven't used anything else for a while except the AutoGlym shampoo as I find it removes shoe polish and other scuffs best for me. Quick once over with the nailbrush and it's off. Apart from covering the doorbins with polythene though I can't think of any other way to stop children from accidentally marking them again. Apart from amputation, which they may object to. |

Chinese restaurant food oil!
Avoiding the details, I managed to spill the oil/source from the 'doggy bag' left over from a Chinese restaurant. Apart from massive amounts of MSG, there is food oil in the carpet. I know little of cleaning carpets. What will get rid of the smell and clean the stain?
