The wonders of Olive Oil

[Igurisu]

<div class="bbWrapper">I've been helping our eldest son decorate his house, on Sunday evening we traveled back in the CLK. On Monday morning I see he has white gloss on his jeans that is now on my passenger seat <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown :(" data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" /><br /> <br /> So I did some looking around on the detailing world forum and saw many recommendations for using olive oil. Not really expecting it to work I had a go tonight, just olive oil applied with kitchen towel and the seat came up spotless with very little effort. I was really amazed at how easy it was. However, it won't even touch it on the plastic armrest, must be some reaction with the leather, or leather paint/coating.<br /> <br /> Afterwards I cleaned the olive oil with leather cleaner just in case that started to stain the leather <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></div>

<div class="bbWrapper">I once had a new Volvo 850 on hire with a lovely cream leather interior.<br /> <br /> My Uncle was the passenger for the day and had a ball point pen in his rear pocket. A hole in the pocket ensured each movement he made was recorded in ink on the cream leather. <img src="/styles/mbclub/smilies/doh.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":doh:" title="Doh :doh:" data-shortname=":doh:" /><br /> <br /> Mrs Ringway came out with her &quot;1000 Household Tips&quot; book (I'd always said the book was pretty useless) and gave me the answer to the problem which was to rub milk into the leather. <br /> Worked perfectly. Phew!</div>
