Cleaning f sport seats
 
Tinted my windows and the workers got my interior disgustingly dirty with residue all over the panels.

Anyone know/have any recommendations on an interior cleaner for our f sport seats?(not sure since it's not leather) How about the rest of the interior?

I would complain to the tint shop and make them pay you for an interior detailing!!!

or just ask them to clean it.

Try using 303 Aerospace, when I got my windows tinted, the installer got a lot of stuff on it, like whatever he used to spray the tint. I had a bunch of streaks on my door panel, I tried wiping it off but nothing worked. Then I looked up 303 and it works really well. It actually brightened up my whole interior. The dash was dull before, but 303 gave it a really deep black shine. I missed some parts, so I can see before and after results, and it's spectacular. :thumbup:

Yeah you can ask them to clean it, but just clean it yourself. You'll most likely do a more thorough job, and you'll have to do it yourself later anyway. So just get some now and start the process. Plus who knows how they will handle your interior, the guy might kneel on the seats and put extra wear into it.

Should I be using leather based cleaner?

Or viny? Or plastic?

Try a damp microfiber towel first.

303 Aerospace is for both plastic and vinyl. It also treats leather, it has rave reviews on amazon. There are multiple ones, get 30350.

oxy, how long does the shine last on your dash? or does it dry dull? any pics?

Oxytocin 10-21-13 11:26 PM

It has last for three weeks now and still looks as good as the day I applied it. It's suppose to have UV protectants in it. I also used it on the seats and it intensified the red coloring. I can take a pic of the part that I missed, pretty much the corner where the nav screen is. My microfiber cloth is too large, I've attempted to get it a few times but I need a smaller one to get into the grooves.

sure feel free to PM me the pics or post here.. thx!

is there any greasy or oily feel to it?

Oxytocin 10-21-13 11:39 PM

Nope, it makes it feel smoother without that greasiness. If you like the smell of a new car, this will take that right off. It doesn't replace the smell, just eliminates it. So if you want to have that new car smell for a while, don't apply it right away. My boyfriend warned me that would happen, didn't believe him, and then I was sad...

Will definitely try this product out!

Best way to clean the seats the dash the panels etc...is using nothing but a damp micro fiber towl not dripping with water but damp....lexus explains that is the best way to do it.....the f sport seats are nu luxe synthetic leather just use a damp micro fibert towel.

Yeah, according to the owner's manual, best bet would be to first vacuum then hit the surfaces with a damp cloth

Oxytocin 10-22-13 02:10 PM

Here is how the dash looks after using 303 on it. The edge that meets the nav screen I couldn't wipe, so that lighter gray color is the untreated material. Not its not a shadow, and no it didn't fade out from UV exposure. There was another section of my door that I missed that looked similar, but I've already detailed that part. You can see the difference it makes.
