Cleaning vinyl

Post by James1300 » Thu Sep 15, 2011 11:02 am

Has anyone got any tips on how to clean their vinyl seats and the dashboard to bring some life back into them? Most cleaners dry the vinyl out and make it look dull. Id like to get a bit of life and shine back into the dashboard and door cards and seats.

I used a vinyl/leather cleaner then some stuff i bought at the caravan show last year, can't remember the name and it's in the boot of the Marina at home, but i'll check and post later what it is seems to last forever, done the Marina, Bentley, MGF and loads of shoes and still hardly used, smells good too :)
