Cleaning VW T3 seats

Post by eiret25 »

Hi all. Preparations are underway getting the van ready. Just wondering does any person have a method for cleaning standard cream vinyl seats. They have a pattern that replicates a weaved type surface. Took a pic off Google as I'm away from the van at the moment of the same seats. I have tried jif / cif with no joy.

Thanks lads, will report back and let you know. The seats I have are now a brown more so than the original cream along with the vinyl door cards.

I had great results on the vinyl with Lidl all cleaning wipes.

Just bought some of this & it is brilliant for general grime, also it's water based so won't harm anything http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/300892370961? ... 1497.l2649" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
