I'm looking for some helpful suggestions how I can clean up the dirty seat trim on my E93.

I plan to clean and sand then spray the outer plastic with Color Bond LVP once I figure out how to remove it, but what about the seat release lever? I've tried cleaning it but it's pretty disgusting and faded.



The upper seat belt holder is also faded. Are there any magic cleaning/restoration proucts that would work here?


Then there are the seat belt buckles. My 330i is like this too and I've been looking for a clean solution to restore these.


It's these little details that can make a ratty 16 year old car look new.

for faded plastics I use blowtorch.

search youtube : faded plastic blowtorch.

Work very well, and on seatbealt red button too. Then I use a ceramic coating to protect them.


I tried few ''plastic renew'' product, but they dont last. meguiars plastic restorer was ok, but not more.

Oof, on the inside of a car, this sounds like a pretty bad idea, better keep the extinguisher ready.

I used a magic eraser with a little leather conditioner on mine for the seatbelt buckle red trim, I was surprised it helped quite a bit.

Any progress with this?
About to do the same operation with my E93 while waiting for the summer here in Sweden 😊

Did you repaint the covers?

well, depends. I use a torch lighter for seat belts , not worst than smoking in the car.

might be safer with a heat gun, but might melt other plastics, since it's hard to focus on one spot.
