reviving upholstery?

Hi Jacq,

Try using Autoglym interior upholstery cleaner (its apparently meant for leather stains too) and then use some leather cream, I have and its pretty good. It removes superficial stains and the leather does need treatment every other year at least, to keep it in good condition.

Sounds to me like Jacq has velour seats ... in which case any industrial grime remover in strong solution applied with a Henry or similar upholstery cleaning machine would do the trick I reckon. How about wearing stone-washed Jacq??

I don't believe velour was available in cream, just leather.
I've used Autoglym on my leather in the past and it's worked well.

Would you describe leather as 'fabric'?

Jacq's T4 seats are half leather and velour.

'Would you describe leather as 'fabric'?'

How would you describe it then?

bigandquick · Mar 8th, 2005, 21:28

As are mine.
I used Autoglym foam upholstery cleaner on my 'fabric', which worked very well.

Dear God let's not argue about it! Thanks very much for all your advice, i will use the autoglym as recommended and look into getting some stonewashed jeans as well lol.

Fabric: 'a cloth produced by knitting, weaving or felting fibres' (Webster)

Half leather is neither fish nor fowl anyway! Jacq, beware these forums! You never know what savagery you may unleash in the beating male breast when you venture into the uncharted waters of amateur automobile expertise

Well researched answer.
You must, however, pay more attention in future as the answer you have given is not the answer to my question.
