Wet wipes

[rh306]

A Triumph owning pal, swears by these wipes on plastics Had a quick go on a very grubby compact and it seems to do a better job than the BMW own brand plastic refurb spray (doesn't leave a shine either)

I recently used some to clean a VW Passat - came up pretty well. They're not that good at shifting deeply ingrained dirt though.

use proper baby wipes on leather as there's nowt in them to harm the leather. Used them when I worked at a car wash valetting.

Baby wipes will fook your leather! Ive used them on a pine table and its gradually took the varnish off over a couple of years

Haven't you got anything better to do than wipe a pine table with wet wipes for 2 years?

They are good for cleaning but once cleaned it will need a nice non smearing silicone free dressing

Aerospace 303 or the autoglym vinyl care works well to give a nice natural looking finish. There after a weekly wiper with a micro fibre does the job

I only use them a few times a year & I've been using them since 2006 on the leather seats in my sport & never had any proplems at all.

I use gliptone leather cleaner and a brush. Dirt tends to ingrained in creases etc.

No idea of the quality of the leather of BMWs but modern leathers tend to have a layer of plastic over the top which means no need for dressing (which would normally sit on top).

Plastic ?

I dunno if the proper term is plastic but certainly in VAG cars, the leather is coated with some plastic type material so it's not "true" leather.
