Cleaning vinyl seats???

[Guest]

Further to some messages posted further down, does anyone have any "top tips" for cleaning cockpit seating? (apart from getting the missus to do it!). Mine are nearly 2 years old and in pretty good shape apart fom a coupl of little, persistant rust marks - is it possible to get rid of these?

Are household products as good or better than the rip-off chandlery stuff? - I think someone once suggested using Jif (or Cif as I believe it is now known).

The best thing that I have found to use is the car product "Auto Glym". They do a Vinyl and Rubber Care squirty bottle (about a fiver in Halfords) and it works a treat.
FYI they also say that it protects your hoses in the engine from perrishing etc, so I use it there too!

Cif Active Cream - excellent & about 80 pence

Re: bilge cleaner

if you're careful, bilge cleaner lifts quite a lot of grungy marks incl rust marks as their some mild acid in there. Careful with cif/jif as it abrades.

Try using lighter fluid. The type that comes in the yellow tins. The guy that did my re-upholstering recommended that and I find its great. Just don't smoke whilst you're doing it.

Hope this helps

Starbright Vinyl Shampoo, followed by Starbright Vinyl Protectant works well.
