That's the one mate. I use to use Vanish liquid in water, but it's messy and really time consuming. My mate told me about the wioes and i tried them this weekend and they were just as good as the Vanish, but 10 times quicker and much less messy. I used a while tube though and it cost Ԛ£3.50 i think so dont do it too often :D

Trouble with my interior is that everything is covered in cream leather, so it dont take long to get dirty hand marks all over the place. I even have to use gloves to stop my steering wheel form going black from the sweat from my hands winkeye :D

Ah well my seats sound the same as yours ivqii. I just bought some replacement seat backs and bottoms (used) from ebay, but it looks like the poor old girl has never been cleaned inside. The dirt is so badly engrained I'm rubbing the leather away! even the door cards won't clean up easy. It's almost as if someone has put yacht varnish over the top, I 've tried steam cleaning and everything. I will get a re-trim next year but need it looking half decent for the summer.
Pass me the spanner
