Standard GT Dash

[Anonymous]

What are people using to clean the dash and door panels. Dont want to put the wrong stuff on and stain it?

 

[Anonymous]

in the manual is states just use a mild detergent with warm water do not use any chemical cleaners on the dash/trim .

1 it will make it shiney as many spray /cleaners have a silicon based formula

2 its not real leather its as peugeot call it Tech PVC

3 If its Full leather use a good Cleaner Like Simoniz Leather care cream or see autoexpress .co.uk for good reviews on cleaners

I just take the dust off then wipe it with a damp cloth, that's all that's needed.

If it is full leather you will need a leather cleaner to clean it up on a regular basis AND a Leather Protection Cream. The leather protector is applied quarterly and feeds and protects the leather from drying out, cracking and fading. The reason why leather cracks is because moisture comes out of the leather (caused by high temperatures inside the car and heaters etc). Then dirt gets in and it becomes worse and worse.

Nearly there now, K. In anticipation of getting your car and then the leather re-trim, can you give advice on a product for protecting the leather seats? I've never had pale grey leather before and read on another thread someone warning that the lighter colours are prone to staining. Want to avoid that at all costs so a protective layer as well as nourishment sounds like a plan :eusa-think:

Thanks, t110jim. I didn't make myself clear enough so edited my post to include the word 'seats'. I have indeed the simple leather option on order but am concerned about caring for the lama leather seats. Any tips? :helpme:

Hi BangorRCZ

You will need a cleaner and a protection cream for the seats. As I've stated previously, I use the cleaner on the seats about every fortnight to a month. Just helps to keep them free from dirt. Then every 3 months I use the Protection Cream. This as you say, leaves a protection film on the seats, helping to protect the leather. This is a link to what I have been using on both my car and the hubby's since the beginning of the year.

Its a good little pack with everything that you need although I don't personally use the cloth that is supplied with the kit as I think it feels quite rough. I use a softer microfibre cloth.

Hope this helps
