Detail

This is probably not the right section but knowing how we all take care of our cars, who better to ask about detailing. Anway, my daughter has a CLK with tan interior. Yep, you got it, it gets dirty fast...told her not to buy it but you sometimes cant tell a young girl anything. I'm looking for a really good product that can take away the dirt in the leather seats, dash and interior side doors. Any suggestions??? I was thinking using a product called WOW and using a brush of some sort and scrub. Yea yea, one of Daddy's chores to still keeps the car clean!!!!!

EASY STUFF !!!!! Get a green dish washer pad and the yellow fantastic spray , than spray on and gently scrub the seats ( GENTLY PLEASE) you will notice all that scum lifting up , follow up with a clean cloth to wipe the scum .After all done with seat apply a good leather cream moisturizer!!! That is how i made my old 2001 SL500 Tan leather interior look like new again .
