Okay guys. i need a little help. first off i searched and cant really find anything other than what im using which is maguires gold class leather wipes cleaner/conditioner..my inserts are red..but are dirty as hell..and i cant seem to get em red again.any tips for this? a different cleaner that will get the dirt off?..also my other problem..i noticed my wheels are really scratched up..ive got an 07 with the polished wheels..so what polish/method of polishing would you guys reccomend?

 

on the seats use a "finger nail brush" and some mr clean all purpose cleaner (DONT USE ANYTHING MARKED KITCHEN OR BATHROOM) and dilute it with water.... than scrub ur seats...... dry em off, and use some leather conditioner FYI maguires wipes are ****, they make ur seats greasy, and promotes buildup

 

cool..ill give it a go..btw ive been using the wipes for a bit..when im done wiping them down..i got back with a towl and wipe off all that acess "grease" and doesnt bother me too much..what would you recommend for a good conditioner?

 

Zaino leather in a bottle..... awesome stuff

We use mr.clean magic eraser and some spray leather cleaner on the leather. works amazing. I only get to use it once in a while though sine i wrok in the shop

 

As much as I hate armor all, their leather wipes work really well for cleaning/conditioning these seats. Give them a try.

 

armor all should be avoided also...... known for striping the color out of our seats.

 

I have the same problem with my rims as you do...I'd love to find somethin to fix them.

 

Use "wheelwax" on the rims.. 2 coats works wonders!

 

Get rid of the wipes and use either the Zaino leather or the good old fashioned Maguires leather. Next you've got to find something with enough texture to "scrub" the dirt off. Don't use anything too abrasive or it'll scratch, I've always been fine with just a microfiber towel.

 

So the armorall wipes are no good? They seemed to work really well for me. I got them for christmas so I figured I might as well use them. lol. but if they're bad for my seats ill buy something else and save them for the weatherstripping or something.

 

armor all promotes drying of leather, and cracking...... also somehow wipes the color out of our color inserts....

 

**** lol.. even their leather "cleaner/conditioner" wipes?

 

yes. those are the worst LOL

 

awesome lol.. I wonder how well they burn.

 

well i tried a mothers power ball today with mothers mag aluminum polish and obviously they are clear coated cause it didnt do anything at all for the scratches..they look like crap..im pissed off about this. there's no reason they should be so scratched up.

 

OUCH you should NEVER USE A METAL POLISH ON CLEAR COATED WHEELS! chances are u f**ked the clear coat up..... all you had to do was hit them with a good coat of wax, would of probably taken care of the scratches unless they were super deep.

 

nah..i just put a dab of the polish on one little spot and tried it out..and it didnt do **** so i stopped..clear coats already fucked anyways..they are scratched horrible. plus the clear is coming off in spots..pretty shitty for a 10 month old car.

 

warranty the wheels?

 

u do know u have warranty....

 

of course. im taking it in today..guess ill see what they say about em..i doubt they will do ****.. ive also got paint chipping all over my car..detailed it yesterday and noticed so much **** wrong with it...

 

I've got the same problem. Damn trucks on the freeway kick up all sorts of stones. I'm almost afraid to detail my car and seeing more chips than I already know about. I also have black pits on my rims and the swirls. I'm going to do some research for "wheelwax."
