Thanks.

Hi Harsh, would be more helpful if you could post some pictures of the cement stains.From what you describe it would be deposits of cement which would need to be scraped off the surface.

If the issue is because of the ac water and other stains dripping from buildings then vinegar and tissue paper will work.

Hello detailing gurus, looking for a product which can be used to keep fabric upholstery clean. Something which can remove dirt and not so stubborn stains from light grey fabric.

Has anyone used Auto Finesse Total Interior Cleaner 500ml? Any reviews here?

Guys, I was looking for the "Meguiar's Water Magnet Microfiber Cleaning Towel". Most of online stores(like ebay) are quoting around Rs 1200.

I have just bought the same from jazzmyride.com(http://www.jazzmyride.com/meguiars-c...er_name=magnet) for Rs 460.

Here is how it was done by BHPian sharma_sanjeevi

Then applied the rubbing compound, and the procedure which was suggested by Rudra Sir did the trick.

@Rudra Sir

Thanks for the Valuable suggestions, they did the trick in removing it without scratches, even then i applied the Rubbing Compound

Here is the result:

For cement spots on glass, here is the advice from GTO

Hope this will help.

A better option would be an APC.

This can be diluted with water to suit your needs and can be used for multitude of purposes.

That is definitely cheaper! The ratio is given as 7:1 for fabric and carpet deep cleaning. So, 7 liters for INR 1,100. Might be overkill though! I wouldn't use it anywhere else other than interiors.

And I would need to use a separate sprayer rt? How long will the diluted mix last? Have you used it? The Total Interior Cleaner is completely hassle free in that regard and will suit a lazy soul like me I guess.

[scopriobharath]

Guys a quick Question.

Can a wet and dry vaccuum cleaner suck water from upholstery ?

If i spray soap-water/upholstery into the seat --> Agitate the soap with a hand brush --> then use a wet and dry vaccuum cleaner, will it have the same effect as a carpet extractor ?

logically yes - but i dont have a Wet and dry machine to try out.

Please help !!!

Guys,

Have just purchased Abro Bug and Tar remover.

The instructions on the back label say that it shouldn't be used on the 'Automotive glass'.

Any specific reasons as to why it shouldn't be?

Absolutely but don't let the surface get dry once you spray it. Spray it, wait for a few minutes (slightly longer if the area is heavily soiled in tar) and use a wet sponge/microfiber cloth to wipe the surface.

PS: Posted the response in this thread since it is more relevant here.

Thanks csateesh. I used all BMW care products for wash, surface prep, polish and hard wax. I clayed using elastrofoam and after 48 hours gave a Pinnacle Black Label Synergy wax coat.

I have clicked tons of pics but due to my travel I have not been able to write. Will surely update soon.

I would anyday suggest an APC for the interior than a interior cleaner because an interior cleaner cannot remove difficult stains.

Yes you will need a sprayer but that should not be difficult to find. Get a amway bottle with a sprayer . The bottle has dilution ratios mentioned.

You are getting a more powerful and versatile cleaner for the same money as interior cleaner. Choice is a no brainer

The diluted mix will last how long ever you keep it. I use Meguiars APC which comes in a gallon pack . APC is also hassle free . It is just in your mind that you feel it is complicated
