What to use

Post by DavieK » Mon May 10, 2010 7:54 am

Bought a new troop carrier the other week (nowt exciting at all) so need some new cleaning gear to keep it all nice and clean.

Firstly it has leather seats so does anybody have any recomendations for leather cleaner ?

Also there is some chrome, I know there are some proper chrome cleaners on the go but am I just as well sticking with soap and water, tar remover and working at the marks for a while ?


Cheers

I am no expert but have used saddle soap on leather seats before - softens and cleans the leather. Check if the
manufacturer makes any reccomendation though, some ( including Lotus) tell you only to use mild soap and water to clean leather.
If the chrome is 'real' I would use a metal polish - however I expect on most cars now it is plastic coated with chrome so stick with normal car wash products or you might strip the chrome finish back to the plastic underneath.
