Picked up a 96 P Midnight blue C2 with 22K on the clock and pretty much all available extras. Underneath all of the grime there lurks a FPSH, one owner gem of a car. Just cleaned the alloys which again looked a bit tatty but underneath the grime & rubber marks, not one curb mark or blemish.

A couple of minor dents in the door which get sorted on Monday but that then leaves the interior.
Grey leather with blue carpetting. All looks unworn but very grubby!

Any ideas on how I get it back up to standard?
Any specialist valetters in the North West that anyone can recommend?
I'm happy to get my hands dirty, just not sure what and how you go about cleaning leather with. I take it I leave my nail brush and washing up liquid under the sink?

Please help.
PS- God I love this car. Makes my old Bosxter S feel like a 318i !

For the full treatment you could get a Swissol or Zymol detailer to come to your joint and give the 993 the full works.

....or buy a kit from the same people and do it all yourself.

Be very careful cleaning the carpets as you can make the fibres go very stiff and bobbly which will then require replacement.

Be much easier and cheaper to get a specialist in.

Thanks chaps. i think you're right aceparts. Best leave it to the experts. I've made contact with the Zymol detailers. Hopefully they can help!!

I appreciate your help.

The only reason fibres go very stiff and bobbly is because some valeters/detailers have been using wrong and/or strong chemicals!

IF cleaned correctly they will look as good as new!

If you need the correct products talk to mike at the polishing company.

Drop in and see us next week, I am sure that our main valeter Roy could work wonders, although if the leather on the seats is really grubby you may also want us to repaint them for you (like re-connolising).
Roy will be back in on Tuesday.

Thanks Colin, will do.
I was planning to see you about a few 'tweaks' that may be possible in due course!
