Just out of interest what are the "problems" you're trying to sort out?

I ask because the leather interior of my S8 has some sections with stains that a professional detailer couldn't get rid of.
They look a bit like cigarette smoke stains, i.e. brownish, but they're not. Could be from the adhesives used having degraded over time and penetrated from behind.

Hydrogen Peroxide is vicious stuff!

For plastics that need serious attention I use isopropyl alcohol. Smells nice too.
