How To Maintain Beige Or Other Light Colored Interior

[_Cathy_]

I use Microtex Suinshield on my old car's interior which is light grey. I'm not satisfied because it doesn't do a good job removing dirt. Now my car's interior is Beige and I know that it's gonna be a nightmare to maintain Can anyone please recommend good products for the interior (cleaning and maintenance)

TIA

CFU, this might be a little tedious for you but what I do is I spray my leather seats everyday when I arrive home with a mixture of shampoo and water and wipe it dry so as to remove all possible dirt that I might have acquired during the day to avoid accumulation of dirt that might require me later on to do tougher cleaning methods, HTH

i would recommend alcohol, sort of a dry cleaning. but i am not sure if some of the pigment will rinse out in the long run...

sino naman kasi ang pumili ng material ng altis na yan, e... halatang hindi naglilinis ng sariling kotse..

Try Simple Green/Meguiars/Mothers All Purpose Cleaner.

3-4 sprays on to a microfiber towel then wipe away stains or dirt from your dashboard/sidings. Have a second microfiber towel to dry the surface.

You can apply plastic/rubber/vinyl dressing after. Just make sure the dressing leaves a matte finish.

dr.d, the solution is diluted and I just wipe it dry everyday. I apply armour all every weekend and leather conditioner every month lang. So far, it worked for me.

Since I believe your car is still brand new, I would suggest daily cleaning lang before it accumulates tough dirts and would be hard to clean later on

Grrr. I love everything about my car except the beige interior. I can't do daily cleaning. Weekly is what I can do. So what's best among the products that nivraarvin mentioned?

Hmmm.. I actually never tried any of them. I use Optimum Power Clean All Purpose Cleaner.

Cant go wrong with Meguiars I guess. Or try to contact the distributor of Optimum here in PH. Optimum Power Clean works great, it pulls everything out of a dirty interior. Safe too on all interior surfaces.

I bought the Microtex Quickleen at Ace for only P120+. I did not see the other brands mentioned. I'll just order from Amazon so it's cheaper

Try mo yung baking soda, dilute it in water it cleanse & eliminates the bad odor.

I've started using Autosol metal polishes a few years ago. Last year I tried their leather cleaner and not so long ago, their plastic cleaner. Their leather cleaner is quite good especially for taking out stains but you need to follow this through with a cream as their leather cleaner dries out leather. Their plastic cleaner was really excellent though and I love it.



I was quite impressed with the results. I have used this on beige, grey and black interiors and the result is always the same. It it slightly abrasive though so don't rub it in too hard. You can purchase this at the DIY shop. I suggest you use brush off the surface dirt first then use an old shirt when applying it and finish it off with a microfibre cloth.

Grabe naman Cathy kung once-a-week yan. Adopt a less-is-more attitude when going for these.

For plastic sidings, just keep them clean. Maybe a short wipe every now and then.

For beige leather, on the otherhand, less is truly better. Just a damp cloth wipe-down every few weeks or so is all you need and an annual conditioner application.

Then Meguiar's APC on a semi-annual basis. Usually damp-water cleaning lang ako all year round and an annual interior detailing session para squeaky clean even on hard-to-reach areas.

Mahirap sobrang OC sa kotse Ms Cathy. Lalong di ka magkaka boyfriend niyan.

Gawin mo nalang palinis mo sa mga detailer tsikoteer, dami magvo volunteer dito :naughty2:

Ayoko sa detailer. I go by the saying "If you want it done well, do it yourself" Magdetailer lang ako pag di ko na talaga.I enjoy it naman

Ikaw. Lalaki braso mo niyan, dala dalawa pa i-detail mo

Cost effective nga naman. You can open up a detailing shop. Suddenly reminded me of those carwash events na babae nagca carwash and they just spray themselves wet. LOL
