hi all, can anyone tell me what is a good product to use to clean my interior (original condition)... thanks karen

Hey Karen,

My brother works for volvo truck and bus. and they have this product thats highlighter green and really good. It's clear and takes grease of interior and brings it back looking as good as new!

It's mainly used if a grubby mechanic gets into the truck or bus and puts grease and dirt on the interior. It brings it back to new condition.

I'll try and find out exactly what it's called.

It'd be something industrial.

Cheers

Rowan if it's the color of a flourescent green/yellow texta then the product you refer to is called "Hydrosolve" made by Castle chemicals.We used to use it in our workshop in the 1980's.I havn't got the application details in front of me but Castle chemicals would be on the web to check.Don't know if it's recommended for interior cleaning so use your own discretion as to whether to use it or not.I know from memory it was avery good detergent.
Maybe Karen just wants something available from the local auto store however.

Hi Karen
I would be very carefull if you're cleaning an original hoodlining as over time get delicate & can rip very easy, but you could use warm soapy water & an old tooth brush & very carefully do a bit at a time, but wipe any excess water off to keep fabric as dry as possible to stop rotting.
Could also use warm soapy water for seats etc but perhaps no need to be so carefull - use a nail brush instead maybe & again keep fabric dry, there's probably lots of vinyl cleaning products on the market but - for me - I wouldn't use them on the hoodlining

Hey Karen. you've probably got it all sorted out by now but if ya still looking for something good to try for removing dirt from ya seat ect....
Try using a product call RipOff from easygleam. there on the net if ya want to look them up. http://www.eazygleam.com.au/about.htm

I own a car deatailing shop in QLD and we use it alot. put it into a spray pump and spray onto seat ect. use something like a soft scrubbing brush to pull up deep dirt then wipe off with clean damp sham.

If its not so dirty just spray it on the damp sham and rub over the area. Use this way definatly to do things like hood linning and visors ect.

Hope it helps. cheers...............

thanks everyone for your help. i want her to look her best for the nats

I use Nifty and warm water on my cars, especially the roadster as it gets full uf dirt and roadgrime. Not too harsh on the trim, the other option is sugar soap....
