I need to give my car seats a bit of a clean. They are not that bad but I am sure a clean will have them looking better.

I think they are Vinyl. To be honest everytime I mean to have a closer look I forget but I am sure the last of the Morris Minors had Vinyl and not leather seat.

Can anyone recommend a good product for this.

To be honest I've never actually tried it on vinyl seats but spray on bathroom mouse is very good at removing greasy dirt from other car parts.

I've sometimes used sgrassatore on vinyl (like chante claire) and it gave quite good results, after a cleaning session with sgrassatore I then use leather cleaner to give them a bit of a shine.
however mine are never that dirty only some dust or slight fingerprints

the vinyl seats in the A55 are quite grubby too, I did try some spray on mousse stuff but I think it would have needed a few goes. As with all cleaners, try them on an inconspicuous piece of trim first, just in case it stains or otherwise damages the covering

After Mothers products were recommended on another topic, I've been having a look at their website. There is a product guide on there which does make a lot of sense to me. Maybe they are the stuff to use for cleaning seats?

I'm certainly going to try some of their products shortly.

Hi

I just use washing up liquid in water, cuts through the dirt quite well, but try a hidden area first.

Cheers

"Decosol" I used to find good; anyone know if it's still available?
