Cleaning the vinyl, help

[SteveS2]

Could someone please recommend a good cleaner for the grey vinyl interior on the S2. I've tried the Auto Glym stuff and it just put a nice finish onto the dirt and muck without removing any of it. Thanks

the best thing i found was to use warm water with a mild detergent/cleaner and a light cloth/toothbrush/cotton buds and then finish off with a cleaner afterwards to shine up ,

I've found that the Halfwits carpet cleaner used sparingly on a cloth and with a nail brush to get into the grain does the trick. Wipe off with a clean damp cloth rinsed out regularly.

Decorsil ( I think that is the spelling) its pink and from Halfrowds , works well though.

For scuffs and general dirt, I use a small amount of washing up detergent on a kitchen sponge, and very gently work the dirt of the vinyl. Wipe down with a damp cloth and should be ok.

Decosol - it's good stuff.

I used some halfwits general dashboard cleaning stuff together with cheap white flannels from a supermarket (40p each of something). The surface texture got right in and removed the dirt, while the cleaner left a smooth finish when polished.

Left a little bit of lint but cleaned up the grime that had gathering in the grain (if thats the term) of the vinyl.

Always keep the kids toothbrushes for the difficult to shift bits as they are a lot less brittle than adult ones...

Thanks guy's, warm water and a little fairy, what a difference. So that's one door panel done, just the rest of the car to do !

Sorry, bit late I know. I use Meguier's Vinyl Cleaner, which seems to do the job well. I get it on Ebay.
