hi all

I've got a 51 plate vas and the white door cards aren't quite white anymore, they wasn't perfect when i got the car. what cleaner is best to get them looking new again?

thanks

If this is the grey / white cloth centre sections between the black leather on the vRS motors then you will need to invest in a wet vac to get them looking new again, you could spot clean them with some Tesco's Daisy APC if you liked but wet vaccing is the best way, do you have access to a wet vac....... :|

what do wet vacs do? i get that they are hoovers with water but how would that clean them?

before you shell out on a wet vac try some autogylm interior shampoo. it might surprise you how clean they come up, if not you've only spent £6.50 and you should find it in halfords

Quite simply you spray a specific cleaning agent onto the area and then extract as per a vac the dirt and cleaning agent out of the fabric, works wonders and you will be suprised what they can pull out of fabric

And that would work on the alcantara on the seats too ? Or is that what you're referring to Simon ?

Will work on all sorts. Steam is sometimes better on alcantara

try some autogylm interior shampoo good stuff

Baker21 - you mentioned steam?? Do you just use a hand held steam cleaner on them??

Exactly, best way to get that dirt out and then you can follow up with a wet vac or normal cloths

Also worth trying meguires apc imo

Can you use the steam cleaner on the carpet and door cards??

Yep sure can, you can use it on the dashboard if you like and leather seats are a wonder to improve with it.......

Thanks for your help mate, will give it a go once the better weather comes round!!

What's best product to spray into the door cards for wet vac action?

Anything that is an APC such as Daisy from Tesco's or Megs APC for example, the best one I have used and use at the moment is AS Brisk.......

When using steam, do you just use that alone or use product as well?

Just that alone mate and plenty of clean cloths, you will be amazed what cleaning power heat / steam has........

I agree with the autoglym interior shampoo, use a nail brush to give it a light scrub, you'll be amazed how good it is

i ended up cheating and got a valeter out today to do it lol

What a waste of a thread, glad you sorted it though

Sorry to go off topic, was just wondering Baker if the steam cleaner works okay on the interior carpet and seat covers as well as the door cards. Was considering a wet/dry vac but they're quite expensive, whereas I've seen steam cleaners gor about 50 and can think of a few uses for one around the house too. Cheers

you lot will never believe me when i tell you i cleaned mine with baby wipes. come up a treat and there spotless.

Baby wipes are amazing at removing stains!
