Hi I'm looking to clean up my sun visors but I don't want to damage them. They should be cream vinyl but are a bit grubby. Any ideas?

Is that all that's needed? No cleaning products at all?

I think I used these wonder wipes when I was cleaning mine. http://www.ebay.co.u...RwAAOSwTf9ZUNSm

+ 1 on the warm water, just some Ajax cream or whatever it's called will remove the stubborn grime. Dont soak them as the padding inside will break down.

I have used a Carplan Vinyl trim cleaner in a spray can (like a foam) and then a soft brush to work into the grain of the vinyl, then wipe off with a clean cloth and they came up a treat.

I'd start off with something very mild like a bar of hand soap and a soft nail brush and see how you go on with that.

 

Then move onto something like washing up liquid with the nail brush if there are remaining stubborn stains.

 

Finish off with a damp cloth with just water to clean any residue soap.

I've just done mine using washing powder/water and a soft nail brush to give them a light scrub, then a damp soft cloth  (rung out and re wetted) to wipe over afterwards.

 

Seams to work on just about anything vinyl or upholstery based.
