Hi all - have just purchased a '02 Porsche 996

one of the major selling points for me was that the interior looked absolutely fantastic - more like a new car than a five year old one...



now - i'm pretty au fait with keeping the paintwork/glass/rubbers in top spec, but I'm something of a novice when it comes to interiors.

I'd like (in an ideal world) to try to keep this look for as long as possible - so if anyone can advise of the best products and processes to maintain the finish of the leather I would be most grateful,

or point me to any websites that give the best info.

Cheers

BERGS

Gliptone do some very good stuff for leather, one is a cleaner and one a conditioner, and both highly recommended.

For interior plastics, there are lots of products, but Einszett gets good comments, and I use 303 Aerospace protectant myself.

Carpets would normally be fine with a good brush and hoover, although if stained almost any proprietary carpet cleaner should be fine.

Happy cleaning! biggrin

The man above knows his stuff! Gliptone on your leather and a variety of stuff for interiors from Einznett and 303 or Chemical Guys and Poorboys. Use a decent microfibre cloth to wipe off excess and enjoy your car!

Gliptone all the way for the leather, its all I ever use now. The cleaner has never failed to remove dirt even when leather looked ok, and the conditioner works wonders and as a plus point leave a real leather scent, like when it was new (not the false air freshener type).

On the plastics, I prefer Swissvax Protection (matt finish) this leaves a like new finish whilst offering protection from UV rays as well.
