interior cleaning - shoes dirt marks

Featured Replies

Hello,

Usually, I clean the plastic interior with warm-ish water and a sponge, then microfiber...however, the marks we do on the plastics (around seats, etc) with our shoes are often still there, less visible but there. What do you guys use as a general plastic cleaning product?

Thanks for your help.

Do you have any photos? It might be that the material is scuffed.

Generally interior materials have some sort of grain; be it leathers or plastics. When you get marks on them the difficulty is often not getting into all the little cracks and differences in the surface.

Generally, a damp cloth is great way to clean a lot of surface grime off - get a couple of light coloured flannels and you’ll see how the dirt comes off on them (choose cotton flannels so you can give them a hot wash as MF cloths shouldn’t be washed above 40degrees).

However to get right into all the nooks and crannies then get a dedicated interior cleaner and a medium soft detailing brush - small circles moving around, so that the bristles get into every gap from different directions. Gentle pressure, let the tips of the bristles and the product do the work rather than pressure and elbow grease.

For steering wheels, get a brush like a shoe brush (long and flat) rather than paintbrush long-handle. Same thing, spray product on the brush so you avoid overspray and gentle circles all around.

Let us know how you get on @vblanche
