here in indonesia, we usually don't bother using the original upholstery cloth, because it's almost impossible to find the new one...

we usually re-covered old seats upholstery & doortrims by replacement synthetic leather by the interior specialist... it's cheaper too, compare to the original cloth, as well as real leather...

for just about US$150, you'll get the new covers of seats upholstery, doortrims, and in some garage, they give you bonuses of gearshift lever and the covering of the shiftknob as well...

I tried a Red dye on my Calais interior about 3 years ago, the front seats and door trims I spent forever on rubbing it in and it still looks good, but the back I didn't spend so much time on so it rubbed off and still rubs off to this day and looks awful. And even now the front rubs off a bit.

Something to think about, but you definitely need to spend the time on it and if I had my time again I don't think its worth it rubbing off into your skin and clothes. Its hard to get out and your always worried about it.

Hey mate, that interior looks shmick as ! Did you use the simply spray stuff ?

[VlDUBC]

Whats the best way to get rid grease spots??? i had spotless interrior and now this spot has killed my life...lol what do you guys do?

[Tomo]

hot soapy water on a hot day

either that, (sounds bad i know) but car wash, high pressure hose the seat and then use their vac too suck up the water from it...and surronding floor... and again wait untill its going to be like 30-40 degs too dry it out, but it comes up really really good

[VlDUBC]

Thanks...might give it a try

[FATPSI]

soak it in windex let it sit for 5 min and wipe off, just got as heap of stains off my door trims like this came up mint, used it for years works well

[psiko]

Baby wipes, you know the ones you clean sh*t from baby buts with, work well with most types of stains. Just keep working the stain with a clean section of the wipe. It will seem to spread it out to begin with but will eventually lift it right out.

I've just done this.. I'll upload a before and after later today, But here is a link to the website for the stuff that I got, as spotlight don't stock that stuff any more.

yes that is what i used on mine pics bellow.i Evan used it on the grey manual surround.it looks different but it ended up fading so it looked like the rest of console.i also painted console with it.


It looks bright in the pics but after a few weeks it wears a bit and actually looks good


BEFORE



AND AFTER

[Antho]

Awesome, i tried a little bit on the back of a door trim and it looks really good, just need to pull my finger out and clean the interior before I spray it.

[NASTY1]

pics?

[Antho]

Haha still haven't done it yet....

[YBJLS4]

Anyone know if this stuff will absorb into the vinyl, or should they be taped up (door cards)

[NASTY1]

see the last pic i posted up above that was on the vinyl part it worked well.i also done my console and a grey manual surround that i changed from grey to red to match my trim
