Need to fix my interior...

05Sleeper · 10-03-05, 08:26

Some help would be appreciated here:

What can I use to fix the horrible neglect my ex-wife has taken on the interior of my Audi? I have Black leather intererior, and it smells as if someone had smoked in the car... Also, there are dirty spots where is looks as if she spilled soda on the center console and doors... I just need a good interior detail, so what can I use to fix these problems? Thanks!

Probably use a good APC, properly diluted as a pre treater on the stains. You could then use a mixture fo Woolite and water for cleaning the entire interior. A shop-vac or extractor would be helpful for cleaning the mats and carpets. For the odors you could try leaving a big dish of baking soda in the car with it locked up overnight, or if its realy bad you may want to rent an ozone machine from a janitorial supply store.

What would you suggest for the cleaning and conditioning of the Leather seats? I would like to try and get that "new car smell" back!!!

Im not sure about the new leather smell, I hear that Zaino Z10 conditioner has that smell. Personaly I use the Woolite water mix and Lexol conditioner.

On the S2000 owner's board there is an owner who works in the leather industry. He has stated using diluted Woolite is probably not good for the leather long term. Check out this thread:

There is a lot of good leather care information in there and if you PM him with your questions I bet he would be happy to help.
