How about interior care?
Can anyone suggest some products, or care ways for the interior?
Dash, for example?any ideas?

for the dash an other plastic/leather parts. A bucket of hot water with soap and a shammy, never use dashboardspray, it makes it look really shiney in a wrong way, horrible

what is "shammy" ? I don't know the word.
For the dash I find that vaseline rubbed with a soft cloth gives a kind of "matt" shine, way better than the "special" dash sprays, which make it so shiny you need sunglasses even in the evening...

Shammy leather! Vaseline is always good for soft plastics and rubber seals. I guess you should kinda treat them like skin and keep them moisturised and soft. Anything that the supermarket or auto shops sell is 99% expensive junk that does'nt work whatsoever...interior valet, dashboard wipes etc. I use a vax carpet cleaner on my seats and carpet. It brings them out very well indeed. It mixes water with soapy stuff, blasts it into the fabric and then sucks all the crap out.

i use a scotch pad, quick wipe with some panel wipe and a satin black rattle can on my floor when it starts looking scratched/tatty.

OK, I see what is "shammy" now (I was guessing already it should be that)..!

Vaseline for rubber seals???? Really??? have you tried it and it works?? I always thought it was no good for anything else but the dash!! I always use silicone sprays for rubber seals

Yeah i use it on the door seals inner and outer. Keeps them supple and prevents them drying out and cracking.

You pass/spread it using some cloth?
And then you have to leave the door open for a while or you close it right away?

just use your hands, it aint exactly messy stuff you cant get off. Does'nt matter about keeping the doors open, if anything closed is better as it wont dry out as fast

interior plastics use 303 aerospace protectant. leaves a nice matt black finish which isn't greasy like the tacky shit.

may be in stock soon. i wouldn't use washing up liquid as it contains some bleaches so will eventually fade it further.
