Hi,

I've got a used Cooper Sport interior in need of a damn good clean. The steering wheel looks like the silver has come off in places which makes me concerned about how durable it is.

So what would be recommended for cleaning the seats please?

Cheers  :proud:

I hoovered and wiped with a dry microfibre cloth, then used wilkos leather cleaner and that worked a treat

I've always used Gliptone leather products on any leather interiors my cars have had. They do cleaners, conditioners and can match colours for dying worn areas etc.Highly recommended by me :proud:

You're using leather cleaner on something that isn't leather. Try vinyl cleaner.

The upright bolsters only. The rest is cheap vinyl.

It's what they call it, but in actual fact 10% is more accurate!
