Leather, Vinyl and Headliner Care?

Matt94GT · Aug 11, 2011

Well I picked up a new ride the other day an 06 Audi A4 Avant 2.0T Quattro.

Anyways its got black leather, wanted to know how you guys with leather treat your seats, do you use a once a year product then monthly another? Can you suggest some products for my leather?

Next thing is the dash, I believe its just vinyl but not 100% I have 1Z cockpit cleaner to clean the interior/dash but just want to know what I can use to protect the dash, just some Chem Guys VRP? I used to use Areospace 101, want something to protect it from the UV and keep it nice.

Last but not least the headliner, its light grey, tight knit material not felt, the back near the hatch has some good scuff marks, I know your not supposed to use anything that will make it wet, but I was hoping for a product that I can use minimal amounts of to get out some stains?!

Thanks!

Just got some Auto Glym leather cleaner and a bottle of their creme, didn't have time to order online so maybe next time Ill look into CG's leather system.

Yeah next time around try the CG stuff...I got the Leather Cleaner/Conditioner 2-bottle combo, which gets pretty good reviews (haven't had a chance to use it yet myself though). Also for the dash I would clean it with your 1Z or some type of APC, and then hit it with some VRP or CG Silk Shine...if you really want to go all out you could hit it with 1Z-->Aerospace 303-->VRP/Silk Shine to get the shine (since Aerospace has a matte finish and I prefer a bit of a shine). Aerospace is supposed to be a fantastic UV protectant.

Ill get up pics of the ride sometime!
