Vinyl Seat Conditioning
I am looking for some recommendations on how to best clean/preserve vinyl upholstery. I am working on the original vinyl interior on a 70 Chevelle. To clean, I have used a mild soap (Simple Green) and water, which worked quite well but wonder if others have any suggestions that are better. My bigger concern is how best to treat the seats to keep them soft so they don't start cracking and pulling apart at the seams. Thx in advance for your assistance.

I worry about the waxy buildup with Pledge. I have had great luck with the Meguiar's and 303 products.

The only thing I use on the interior is plexi cleaner/ polish. It I’ve never used it on vinyl seats. Using it with a tooth brush and a white wash cloth would prob take years of dirt off.
Novus makes same, and their #2 polish is good for dash plexi (Speedo glass) and plastic chrome. Last edited by Burd; 09-18-2020 at 12:22 PM. |

Megs makes a killer product for this. When Dave and I bought our former '62 Corvette big tank car, we had outstanding results cleaning the original interior. The door panels, seats and dash saw great results.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. Dan, when you say Megs, am I correct in assuming you mean Meguiars and are you talking about the same product recommended by RPOLS3?

3 ways to Clean Vinyl Seats
1.
Use a specialized cleaner. While the exact technique necessary to clean vinyl seats varies depending on the product you’ve chosen to use, you can generally begin by wiping the seats down with a damp rag, then applying the vinyl cleaner to another clean, damp rag. After that, gently wipe the vinyl cleaning solution across the surface of the vinyl seat. 2. Use an ammonia mix. Mix one tablespoon of ammonia, ¼ cup (59 milliliters) of hydrogen peroxide, and ¾ cup (177 milliliters) of water. Scrub the vinyl seats with the mixture using a soft-bristled brush or sponge. Dry the vinyl seats by wiping them down with a dry cloth 3. Clean your seats with a bleach mixture. Diluting bleach and water in a 1:1 ratio will yield an effective solution for cleaning vinyl seats. For instance, you might mix two tablespoons of bleach with two tablespoons of water. Dip a cloth, stiff-bristled brush, or sponge in the mixture. Scrub the vinyl seating down, then dry it thoroughly with a dry cloth. Regards, PHP Training in Chennai |

I’ve never seen a vinyl dress that’s not like armour all. All that slimy sticky finish you get. If there is something, I’d like to know as well.

Following simple green I have had good luck with minks oil or any leather conditioner. Rub it on liberally.
