I have beige cloth seats and I think that when I opened the sunroof, I had dew on my car.. and it blew onto my seats. I have what looks like water stains all over the back seat. I have tried every cleaning product I can think of, and it has only made it look worse!! Any suggestions??? Also, I have break dust all over my rims and I haven't had luck getting them really clean. If you know of a product that works well, let me know. Does any one else have the break dust issue? -Jen | | | 07-26-2006, 01:31 PM | #2 | TRETEN IRGENDEINES ESELS Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Rhode Island Posts: 3,687 | As for the seats i'm not totally sure but what about something like carpet cleaner or upholstery cleaner? One of your local auto parts store should sell something like that,i'm sure somebody else will chime in with a product they've used. For the rims i think i use Eagle One tire/rim cleaner. It always says to let sit and hose off but i bought a brush for the rims and always scrub them once i spray it on and it removes all of the brake dust. IMO it does a better job if you do it that way,but they key is to do it atleast once every two weeks that way it doesn't cake on there and make it alot harder to remove. __________________ 98 Avus Blue 318 ti Active clear outs all around,stealth turning signals,blue led interior lights, 35% tinted windows,K&N air filter, 12" Kenwood Sub, MTX Thunder Amp,Alpine cd changer, Leatherz Armrest,ACS Pedals/Handbrake/FloorMats & Vitesse Tuning Carbon Fiber B-Pillars/CF Spark Plug Cover, New 16" MSW Typer 14 Rims on Goodyear Triple Treds www.myspace.com/avusblueti | | | 07-26-2006, 02:12 PM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2006 Location: 43609 Posts: 3,425 | Another way is to buy ceramic brake pads and wax the rims with rim wax. That should help with making sure the dust doesnt stick. Have you tried steam cleaning your seats and using upholsterycleaner. It worked very well on my floors __________________ 1995 Hellrot Clubsport 318ti -Gone 1996 Schwartz II Sport 357ti - 5.7L V8 LS1/6 1997 Moregrun Metallic 318ti - Gone 1998 Schwartz II sport 318ti - M50TUB25/5 | | | 07-30-2006, 11:26 PM | #4 | Member Join Date: Jul 2006 Location: London Posts: 79 | i found the car uphostery cleaners quite expensive, so i just use normal household uphostery cleaner works really well too. i find breakdust just comes off quite easily with just normal carshampoo and either an alloywheel brush, or just a rag or sponge....just after i finished shampooing the car body i use the left over shampoo in the bucket to wash the wheels __________________ -Impyboy | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
