Cleaning seats

Im titivating but cant find a way of cleaning the creases in the seat pattern. What ever I do I end up leaving a greyness in the crease of the pattern. Silicon sprays work for about a day; steam cleaning doesnt work and may damage the vinyl and fairy liquid and a scub doesnt work.

Cant find anything on web that works. Any ideas?

Sounds like I'm a sad case, but - electric vibrating toothbrush with vinyl cleaning solution works best for. Really lifts up the years of grime. OK, I'm open to abuse now........ :mrgreen:

Try Simoniz "Back to Black", it's meant for plastic bumpers but it brings up vinyl seats really well.

I will refrain from making any comments in relation to vibrating electrical devices!

Thanks Lou, though the toothbrush does have a funny after taste after giving the seats a good cleaning over.

I use the Auto Glym vinyl and rubber cleaner spray, usually giving it a through soaking for a few hours will help.

Thanks guys. Ive got some back to black, I'll try that first.

Tony, do you cut your grass with nail clippers too? And a tip for you, I use the wifes tooth brush for that sort of thing and blame the kids. No funny taste at all.
