Hello car care specialists, how can I get the stripes off the door inside? See picture. Thank you and greetings Andy

Hello! On the current occasion that I have bought a new car I would be interested in the question whether a so-called fabric sealing is useful or someone has already had experiences with it. The sufu did not give anything satisfactory, or I was simply too stupid to look for… Since the new sports seats I liked very much, and usable/suitable covers are much too expensive, I just thought about a kind of sealing. I would also like to treat the roof sky with it, because our little wild boars in the trunk quite often “shake” and so the dirt can fly quite well now in the autumn. I found among other things one of Nanotol, which, when the word “nano” completely hides out, listens/looks quite promisingly so far. Click Here still a video about the effect of the sealing. Click So if someone has already had experience with this, I would be very grateful about these.

Hello, first of all, a warning to all those who didn’t know this yet: Does not transport tires on the leather seats or on the leathered back seat!!! I had to make this experience now. It also does not help if the tires are transported in this protective foil. The oils, the soot and any plasticizer diffuse through the foil and also discolor black leather. Perhaps a thick wool cover between tires and leather – or preferably put it in the trunk with it… But now to the actual question: Did someone already have such a case and can tell me how it went? I already had contact with the leather center. The leather is discoloured and this discoloration can be removed as easily as a tattoo! That can be fixed, but only by a specialist workshop. There is then a blocker applied to prevent the “black plague” from coming back from below. Then the surface will probably be recolored. Then would be nice, if someone knows with it and can report what the “reparatur” cost and if in the long term it still doesn’t matter to me to show the fact that it doesn’t matter brightly wears down.

Hi, unfortunately I had to find out this morning that the Anti-Slip Matte (Aldi) had not grown to the temperatures and the sun at the weekend. A part of the matte has melted and the liquid silicone on the amature board run down. Of course, the whole thing is an extremely sticky and disgusting matter. So a warning to all those who have this or similar products in the vehicle, the summer is just beginning! Does anyone have any idea with which means I might have a chance to remove the sticky stuff?

Hello together, My used bought Audi A5 was prepared before delivery at Audi. Since then, the leather smells awfully of chemistry and I seem to be allergic to it, anyway, the air stays away when I sit in my dream car. Terrible! During the test drive, the car did not smell. Ventilation brought as little success as thorough wiping with water and/or rinsing. Do you have an idea what is being worked on and how to get it away again? Thank you & Greeting

Hello, yesterday I had some passengers in my Golf 6 with the bright seat covers: http://data.motor-talk.de/…/img-2227-58516.JPG Unfortunately there was a stain on the seat of about 5-7cm diameter. The edges are a bit black. Don’t know how and why it was created, let alone what should have gone out there. Either a little cola, rainwater from the clothes or clothes dyed by wetness. My Golf 4 with the dark seats has many white (also larger) spots on the seats through various liquids (NO, not THE liquid). How can you remove them best? Have found different methods: by means of steam cleaner, carpet cleaner, shaving foam… Second thing: My Golf 6 smells a bit of cigarette smell in the interior. No idea if the previous owner smoked, the building of the VW knuckle in any case smelled strongly after cigarettes. Could be that the smell has settled in the vehicle. What does it help against it?

How do I get this shit down without curving my car, scratching the disk, having all the glue left on the disk… ? How do you do that?

Hello, with my pajero both covers of the airbag (driver + passenger side) are white out of print. It looks very stupid especially if I have cleaned the interior nicely and cleaned the cockpit with cockpit spray. Then after about 1 day the out of print comes through again. Then the cockpit is already shiny black-grey and the airbag covers bright grey. Does anyone like me know best how to get it away? Which cleaner?

Dear Motortalker, on a motorway ride with my wife a little misadventure happened to us: she wants to pass me the plastic drink bottle, but let it go too soon and she falls into the driver’s footroom with me. It’s certainly 0.5l water in the carpet before we could set up the bottles. Unfortunately, we failed to take care of the problem properly afterwards. Always something was going on (woman pregnant etc….) so that we lost sight of the problem completely. Until now. Because now a musty smell is in the car and we remembered again: ups, there was something… First measures were then: foot mats out, newspaper paper laid out. It seems to be better and we thought we had eliminated the problem. Now at the frost I noticed: the carpet in the footroom is frozen, because there is still so much residual water there. So I brewed a few good tips on how to bring the problem to life. Unfortunately we didn’t have the possibility of getting electricity at the parking lot (heizlüfter falls away) and maybe the car had a similar problem.

Hello, maybe someone can help me further but I don’t know any more advice. I have ordered a complete set for my leather seats from the leather center. Cleaner, tint, care lotion, sealing. After using the means according to instructions, I now have the problem that I “stick” on the leather. It’s totally sticky and every pants no matter which leaves their lint on the seat so it just looks terrible. Does anyone have an idea what to do with it going away? Thank you
