I haven't had to use it yet this winter. Today is the first day the temperature is much below 10c (3 this morning), and I'm busy enough not to notice at the moment. It may be needed if it stays like this, but I have plenty of kerosene if it is

Headlining etc looking spotless!!
Is there a guide to what cleaners to use and how to clean these? also can they be done in situ? My '8's headlining is a little grubby in places and I just dont have the time / faith in my own abilities to remove it....

I use Quantum upholstery cleaner from TPS, partly because it smells of bakewell tart instead of vomit and hospitals like most of them do, but also because its very effective.
For the actual headlining I'll mist it on and wipe off very gently with a freshly washed microfibre as the foam in the headlining is quite delicate so any sort of pressure will ruin it. The pillar trims are much more robust and can take some light agitation with a nailbrush and then a wipe with a microfibre will lift most dirt out. Again, mist it on rather than soaking as the glue could come undone. Same goes for the rear deck. Its obviously much easier on the bench, but I wouldn't take one out just to clean it as there is a high risk of damage. |

I had a very quick look on this to check/compare, but the guidance there seems to be more bits and bobs on this, and quite old (but I may be wrong...)

It popped up on my YouTube recommended list and saved it for later viewing. Didn't realise it was this particular S8.
