Nail varnish remover Arghh

[clk320x]

I'd try some leather sealant from ebay, comes in matt, satin or gloss, worth a go as works on vinyl as well I believe

Any particular brand etc you recommend ?

There is a clear coat put over the leather paint. Maybe you have worn through the clear and are onto the pleather paint.

There is a place in Germany that sells both leather paint and the clear, they begin with V, I put Bruce onto them and he reckoned the dye and clear were great.

After dinner I'll do a search to see if I can fine them - they say they are MB OEM so that at least sounds good.

Maybe try the clear coat and give it a good buffing afterwards...

I use turtle wax cockpit shine
But it didn't bring the 'less shiny' area back to how it was before

Yeh the dash is Matt effect and looks similar to the 'damaged' bit

Confused now lol

Yuck. Use a damp cloth at most on the interior of any car. Shine is defo not a good look. IMO of course.

A damp cloth is also very effective on any cloth surface within the car even the head lining. A damp cloth leaves no residue which will attract dirt.

Hi thanks for the link

The clearcoat looks promising but I'm worried it'll make s mess as it's a spray variety

I was thinking of applying some kind of non-drying oil such as Coconut oil as it looks like new when it is coated in say water.. just need something that doesnt dry

Bruce can comment on that more than I can as he's used it.

If there is a concern maybe it is a matter of trying it on something similar to test first.

Time to visit a breakers yard, or take one for a test drive perhaps...?

I'm gonna try coconut oil?

Now it looks almost unnoticeable and as others have said it seems the 'damage' is indeed how it's supposed to look.. a Matt finish. The same as dash/glovebox etc

Get some multisurface cleaner and do the whole lot, door cards dashboard but dont apply it directly to the area put it in a microfibre cloth and wipe it over, and it should remove all the silicone that made it shiny in the first place, and then you can either leave it mat as it should be or you can get a dashboard silicone and do it all shiny including the spott where acetone has taken the shine off

I would avoid all "shine" products. Shiny dashboard = nighttime reflections - bad.

I've only ever used a light solution of Fairy Liquid, a bit of rubbing, maybe re-apply and then leave to dry. Don't rinse.

Result: nice, clean, matt finish. Perfect.

This on a W124, black surfaces.
