vinyl seat cleaner
« on: June 02, 2013 - 08:56:31 PM »
Hello all

I was wanting to know what everyone uses to clean the vinyl seats in their car? I have black legendary seats covers and they got dirty from sitting in the garage while I was finishing up my car. They have become a little dull as well.

Thanks

I know back in the day, dad always used Son of a Gun. Just be careful, cause when you go around a corner too fast after cleaning em, you'll go sliding around to the other side of the seat hahaha  :thumbsup:

Don't use armor all or son if a gun. Vinylex is what you need. It doesn't leave an oily residue like those products and it moisturizes the vinyl deep into the fabric. It also has uv sunscreen built in to prevent sun fade and drying out. I have actually used vinylex to treat chalky dry rotted interior panels and bring them back to life. Good stuff!

Not to mention when you use it, you get a nice clean surface that is factory fresh, not a greased up interior. Save the oils for the women in scantily clad bikinis...

Armor all and the likes will dry out your vinyl and plastics over time. I'll never use those products again.

Yes, I had a jeep wrangler and it worked great for maintaining my top. As always, test a small area first, but I recommend it.

Okay ... what do you use if you have the lengendary leather seats in your Challenger. They have both vinyl and leather.

Vinylex on the vinyl parts and lexol ( sister product that is a leather cleaner) on the leather. Or just use lexol on everything.

Vinylex is some pretty powerful stuff, it MAY soak deep into leather and cause a discoloration by saturating the leather. Remember, it's designed to penetrate and protect while restoring the natural moisture content of vinyl.
