x2 on this one...wondering what the best heavy duty cleaner is? I've seen a small amount of money and some elbow grease dramatically improve the look of dirty interiors.

cleaner

I have used Westleys white wall cleaner on a white vinyl landau before, looked like new after.

If you are going to use this product, you may want to cut it 50/50 with water and use a soft bristle brush, also do this on a well ventilated area and use safety glasses and clean off any excess with a wet spounge, and then apply a vinyl dressing of some sort.

Hmmmm! Is that safe for the back of the seat also? The plastic part?

They use Westleys on wide white walls all the time and I have never seen them crack or harden even after years of repeated use....Tedd

I have had good luck using Simple Green concentrate cut about 50/50 with water.

Westley's is kind of harsh. heels & paint do not like it. Not sure that I would take a chance on interiors without testing first. In addition to Simple green, I have always had good luck with Fantastik.

X3 of simple green and a soft bristle brush. Plus plenty of clean rags to wipe up the dirty goop before it soaks into the foam.

I've used a product for about 30 years, its called tuff stuff. Comes in an aerosol can.

If your seats are sunburnt and turning brown then no amount of cleaning will cure that.

What about cloth velour seats?
What about tan leather seats?

Knight's Spray Nine works great on white vinyl. Spray it on and wipe it off. Use a soft brush for the ground in spots. Don't let it dry on window glass, aluminum or paint - it'll leave permanent spots.
