Wheel cleaner & beige interior

GreenThree · 03-31-2008, 10:04 PM

I used McGuires cleaning spray on my last wheels. Good results. Anyone know if this is harmful to the brake components/pads, etc?

Also, this will be my first beige interior. Leatherette seats. Will dark pants/faded jeans stain the seats? If so, are there any cleaning products I should be proactive with to prevent this?

I got AW mats and carpet mats thrown into the deal today!

I have beige interior..and it's PITA to maintain it clean..black mark will stick to the seat..i dont know how to explain the correct word for that.. I used Z-9 to scrub the black marks and Z-10 twice a month to keep it clean, but still it get dirty so fast..
For the wheels, I don't suggest using any spray/acidic spray, especially when it's hot, as it could fade away the color.. Use wheel wax, it does help prevent the build of brake dust by alot..

Btw, congrats on your ride!

I have beige 'ette as well. It still looks pretty good after 13 months and 20,000 miles. I just use a wet micro fiber towel to wipe it down every now and then. Jeans will stain the seats a bit..but they come out pretty easily.

use Chemical Guy's leather cleaner to get out stains and such, use aerospace 303 protectant to keep it looking like new!

To clean the leather, i use Zainos Z9 and Z10. Works great and the smell of Z10 is addicting.
