Cleaning the red material on doors

Post by tmdigitalart.com »

hi

When brought the car last year i noticed the red material on the front doors was quite dirty,not too bad but would look allot better once cleaned up i reckon. Anyone cleaned them before, what would you recommend i use and how do it.

thanks for any help

I had the use of a valeting machine. I put some washing powder and conditioner in the water, it brought the red out nice and bright, I also done the seats the same time. Interior looks immaculte now shame about my interior door handles though, the rubber coating is peeling off and it looks crap, would love to change these or peel off all the rubber so the handles are shiny black, you can see it underneath.

Does anyone know if these parts can be bought ?
Or any good way to repair.

If it's the grab handle, then as far as I know you can buy them yeah, put a post on the VAGParts section.

Yes you can easily replace these bits that are flaking, in fact any trim can be replaced

I've purchased the handles for vag parts, there about £8 each I think, and should be easy to fit if your experienced in door card removal
