Its a 'special sauce' combination of Quantum upholstery cleaner, APC, and enzyme-based mould remover, applied with a toothbrush to get in to the texture of the vinyl.

Aah, cleaning with a toothbrush. Takes me back to my time training in the early 80's

What is your opinion on Gummi Pflege for the rubbers MJ?

Not tried it actually. I use Autoglym on door rubbers.

I use it after reading some good reviews. Easy to apply and no complaints so far

Cleaning the leather today.

Half and half on the armrests - its very hard to photograph the red but it looks a different shade entirely when its clean.



Driver's seat - this was about 2 hours of cleaning, and needs another go tomorrow, then I'll give it some conditioner. The rest of the seats should be pretty easy though

Is lumbar support working on these just out of curiosity?

No idea tbh, as I don't use it. I'll assume not since that's usually the case.
