Greasy armrest/headrests

[seanie]

Hey all,

Just bought a W124 1994 saloon, great car, but the headrests and the front armrest seem to be very greasy. Is there a way to clean this myself, can anyone recommend cleaner/shampoo etc that wont damage the cloth fabric? Would hot water damage it? Thanks in advance.

try baby wipes

Standard upholstery shampoo will do the trick.

Cheers guys!

Baby wipes? will they really work? I'd say the grease is caused by sweat, maybe deep. What type of baby wipes?

Also how do you go about shampooing the car? and how would you get it dry again?

Thanks a million guys,

Seanie

huggies are the best baby wipes .. I use them on leather and plastic and they work a treat

a/c dehumidifies so go for long drive with a/c on .. it should suck out the moisture

Your car must smell just like a baby's bottom m8

Unfortunately my motor doesn't have air con I suppose drive with the sunroof and windows (maybe even doors!) open for a while.

Thanks a million guys!
