NEED HELP CLEANING VADER SEATS / STEERING WHEEL and REAR BOTTOM CUSHION is CRACKING!!

[armin M3]

Whats up guys,

I just picked up a 95 M3 and I need some help with the interior. The seats have a yellow tint due to being so dirty and I was wondering what product would help?

Also, my steering wheel feels as if it is lightly peeling. It's really dirty and it feels nasty having to touch it so please help me out with that ASAP because I really feel like I need to sanitize my hands every 5 minutes.

Another thing is the back seat bottom cushion, it's really dry and has light cracks all over, but I feel like I can save it before I go out and buy a new one.

BTW the car has 209K, it's Daytona Violet and sits on LTW's (I even have the sticker price which is amazing to look at). It's in AMAZING condition inside and out, I just need to touch up the seats and then I'm set. Your help is greatly appriciated and when I'm done I'll be sure to post up pictures

Your gonna want some leather\vinyl repair but if your looking to just clean get some interior soap and soak and let dry at the detailing shop we use eureka but prettyuch everything is the same steering wheel same if you want it to finish better gett some leather vinyl restorer or just take window cleaner with a towl and clean it if you just wanna clean it

For as bad as that is, I would recommend Super Clean/ Purple Power and a scrub brush. I know that sounds really harsh, but I did this in my e34 and they came out great.

Side by side.


I then cleaned them with Lexol leather cleaner and conditioned them with Lexol conditioner. The cleaner did nothing before I used the super clean.

DO NOT spray it on the seats. Spray it on the brush. If you spray it on the seat, drips will end up lighter than the rest and and hard to get rid of. After scrubbing a section, I wiped it off with a clean wet rag. Work in small areas and don't let it dry.
