what should I use to clean vinyl floors without drying the out? Also what to use to get um to shine without being slick or slippery?
what other products can be used to shine the black trim and molding on the exterior? I.e. Mirror housing, window trim, and bed rails. I've used mothers back to black but the shine/protection doesn't last long. I'm told armorall will dry them out and grey them quickly.

What do you recommend to restore the 1 yr old leather back to new condition?

Could you let me know what exactly that is?

I would start by using a woolite/water solution. 15:1- 20:1 should work.

Leather seats on '09 Honda Accord. The black stuff is leather dye that rubbed off my belt onto the leather seats.

Tried cleaning with a Tanner's cleaner but nothing.

I'll try the woolite tomorrow but any other way to get rid of the black dye?

alright. I assume you know of the problem of "foggy" headlights? Are there any products you recommend for making headlights clearer?

It really depends on the extent of the damage.

First off, what make/year is the vehicle?

Can you possibly get some pictures of the lights close up? I can better assess the problem and provide you with a plan to fix them.

well its a 1994 f-150. I'll get pics up tom. because its raining right now. One night a friend suggested i get something to make them a little clearer. there not really in bad shape. It may just be the light design and age.

alright, ive got an 03 with leather seats that have dirt stains and some grease stains. is that woolite/water solution the best to get the stains out.

What I would do personally is wet sand them down to restore a flat unison surface. What has happened is that the sun has actually eroded the surface of the lens. Then I would polish them back up with my rotary. d

If you have a rotary such as a dewalt I will provide you with detailed instructions on how to go about this. However, if you do not, I would recommend starting with several applications of Meguiars PlastiX if they are not too, too bad. If this comes to no avail, I would recommend getting a sample size of Meguiars M105 from Autodetailingsolutions.net

I would recommend for you to go ahead and clean all of the leather in the truck with the woolite/water mix first. If they damaged area is not corrected, I would recommend using an APC, or All Purpose Cleaner. Now you may be thinking,

"This is leather! Why would I do that? Will this not dry out my leather?"

The "leather" you have in your truck has a coating on it that was put on at the factory. They do this so that the seats do not soak up spills and grease etc. If it was uncoated, it would look like King Ranch Leather.

Like I was saying, I decent APC will work. I personally would use Meguiars APC thats only available online. There is a product, I believe its called "Awesome". It's a urine colored cleaner that comes in a 20 oz. bottle available at dollar stores. This is a decent cleaner.

Moreover, do not use Simple Green. Do not use Clorox, or anything with ammonia in it. As always, do a test spot on a piece of leather underneath the seat to test for compatibility with your seats.

Good luck.
