Just after some advice, The interior on my car is very dirty, did not look to bad when I bought it last month but the more I am in the car the more I have really noticed it. I also think that the previous owner has used some form of cleaner that has damaged some of the top coat of the leather as a found some peeling of the clear coat.
Been trying a few ways of cleaning it over the last few days, and after reading many conflicting posts on whats best. I just want to get some for your thoughts on if I am doing more damage than good.
So far I have tried the following.
Autoglym Leather Cleaner - Did not shift hardly any dirt
Baby Wipes - again no good.
Today I tried warm water a spoon full of washing powder with a squirt of washing up liquid. First sponged in the foam, then gave it a good rubbing with a nail brush and then towelled off. I did not apply too much pressure but it seemed to work very well.
Not only on the seats but on the ingrained dirt on the dash and door cards. I have only done small test patches as I want to be sure I am not doing any real long term damage.
I have tried to attach a photo to show the clean v dirty areas.
I want to do the rest of the car tomorrow as I have a day off. Will this method be ok.
