How to clean Artico

How do you clean Artico?

Hi,

Does anyone have an idea of how to get paint (most probably gloss) off artico? The previous owners decided to go for a drive in the car with their decorating clothes on
Black seats with white marks does not look good.

I've tried white spirit which didn't work.

Any ideas?

Try Preen or similar clothes prewash from a spray bottle. Spray onto a rag and wipe paint. If thats no good use a water based paintstripper??

If it is emulsion paint then once dry, nothing takes it away you can try and scratch it off but it will often take the material with it

I got white gloss on the leather in my last volvo and I used autoglym leather cream. I carefully scratched off as much as possible without damaging the leather and then left some leather cream on to soak for a while before rubbing in small circular motions with a lot of pressure. Not sure if this will work on the Artico but worked a treat on the leather.

Cellulose thinners will get gloss paint out, not sure about the effect on the interior though

Thanks for the replies. I'll give them a go over the long weekend, and report back.
