My brother being a Porsche fanatic bought a 911 RS GT3 and with it came a load of various Porsche cleaning stuff and one of the items was just called Vinyl Polish.It is brilliant,tip a bit on your seats,give a little scrub with a brush,wipe off with a clean rag,come up like new,also its made the lining in my hard top look like new as well.

It might be dear but believe me its worth it.

I used diluted road traffic film remover on mine with a small scrubbing brush. Mine are biscuit and came up really good.

Mine were really grubby and after spending a few months sorting various mechanical bits I wanted to do as good a job as I could very quickly on the seats.

I used tyre foam- sprayed it on , left for five minutes and wipped it off. The foam seems to have done all the hard work ideal

if you go to a bike shop you get a spray called muc-off its pink in colour, it is pretty well good for everything from engine bays to SEAT COVERS ,spray on leave a couple of mins, scrub with a very soft brush to aggitate the dirt in the basket weave,andrub off with damp sponge and dry off with a cloth. and it costs about £3.50.

Hi Steve

Glad you are pleased with your seats. When I was there at Dave's I asked him what I could use to blacken them up and he gave me a cherry perfumed trim cleaner in a spray can, it was amazing.

Go back and ask if you can buy one as it made such a different and so much better than say Black to Black. I am sure he would give you a can for a pint of beer.

PVC94 line has anyone used this product, their tech dept. has assured me that it will be ok and can be used on the seats as well.

It's £4.19 +vat per can and can be purchased at their counteror via internet /phone be warned that because of post restrictions courior service is the only option open for me thats another £11.00 on top so buy a few cans at once.
