Go to a auto store, in the polishing section find the Autosol metal polish, near that you should find Autosol vynil cleaner in a blue tube. Works really good on plastic too. |

Soap and water. You are trying to remove dirt, you are not trying to hurt the vinyl. Most trimmers recommended using soap and water. A scrubbing brush will help as long as it is not too rough, I use a nail brush but some people will use a toothbrush for the seams. Thinners, chemicals and a lot of other cleaning products will hurt the vinyl. |

CRC So Easy Tire foam works quite well but makes it rather slippery. |

Do NOT use thinners as morris has said, it has a tendancy to 'split' the colours in the vinyl, effectively making them run. soap and water, or go to the local supercrap and get a hold of some of the meguiars, or armor all vinyl cleaner, talk to lachie (caponix), i got him to use the same stuff and should see his results

Go to the supermarket and get some Gumption cleaner paste - in the household cleaning section. It works a treat. |

Spray and Wipe with a small scrubbing brush. Once dry then spray with Armorall to return some moisture into the vinyl. |

Nothing will return moisture to vinyl. 
It is a myth to sell expensive cleaning products. |

.....and if you've worked in the motor trade for dealers and replaced as many dash tops as I have you wouldn't use Armourall on anything. |

thats interesting, i used amourall on my dash once, which then caused it o slowly warp... i think it started the process. on the subject, i was going to post a new thread but i'll just hijack instead (insert rude emoticon) how about cleaning seats with dot-cloth bits? i took my seat covers off the other day and my chairs are FILTHY!!! |
