Door Cards Stains

Postby ak_perth » Fri May 13, 2011 3:09 pm

Hi,

When i bought my Clubman it had some faint white stains on the vinyl door cards. I think they are from sun tan lotion on peoples hands. I have tried cleaning the door cards with warm soapy water but the stains remain. I have also tried using shoe polish to mask the stains but the stains soon come back.

I have read that the vinyl is porous, so i dont think i'll ever get the stains out. Can anyone recommend a product to help cover the stains more permanently than shoe polish?

Cheers

AK

I had some suncream on mine and used some 303. Seemed to get it out quite well. Give that a go. :-)

Hi Pamex,

Is the 303 you used the first product listed on this link, the 303 Aerospace Protectant?

It was the protectant one she used Ak, the one with the blue label.


it should help remove or at least block the stains, and as a bonus will protect the dash from UV rays.

(it also works really nicely on the softtop)
