interior and leatherette

[Ex-Pat Brit]

I pose a simple question,what works well on the dash, doors etc, and something for the seats. it's only been a week but.....

[mikeg4572]

I have tried a few different automotive products. On the doors and leatherette I have found for me personally that good old fashoned Fantastik works great.

Nero from Detailer's Paradise.

+1 - Nero is awesome, cleans and conditions in one step.

I love Nero too... it leaves the plastic bits a beautiful, conditioned, matte black. And it smells great too! I've seen here on the forum it's also good for leatherette used 50/50.

[kenchan]

^^ nice! im glad to hear people are now trying 50/50 on the leatherett's.

[cadfael_tex]

Dumb question but... 50/50 with what? I just used a light spritz on my leatherette seats and it seemed to come out ok. What am I missing?

water

[kenchan]

to be picky, i use distilled water.

[cadfael_tex]

is that just to not use as much Nero to save it or is there another reason?

[kenchan]

nero on leatherette makes the seats kinda slippery and squeaky for some
people so it was easier to dillute it than to try to spread the full
strength Nero very thin.

originally i used full strength and used a second towel to remove the
excess Nero...but it was much quicker to just apply a 50/50 mix on
the seats.

for dash/panels i use full strength.

[cadfael_tex]

Roger that. I didn't notice it being too squeaky but I tried to spritz it and spread it out on the thin side. To highjack my own thread. I noticed there were some gouges on the back plastic panels (probably from hauling the kiddo in and out). Anything I can do about those?

[kenchan]

ive heard people using crayons to fill them up but i just do the best i
can with the Nero full strength.

You *might* want to try OG's BlackWow. that might work even better.

can say that Nero has completely removed all shoe scuff marks
my wife made on my cars. and it keeps protecting it.

I've heard of plastic gouges being fixed with carefull and talented use of a heat gun, but I wouldn't dare try it myself.

i use 303 aerospace protectant on the interior... ive tried a few others though, initially i used armorall , but then moved to maguair's #40 plastic and vinyl cleaner, didn't like to excessive shine to them even if they do last awhile... so i went with 303
