Hey guys just thought I'd ask for your help, hopefully to save some time with trial and error.

Carpets and headlining can be done using a Rug Doctor (rented from Homebase) and their Carpet Cleaning Solution. Be careful not to drip it in your eye when doing the headlining, it's not a pleasant experience. The amount of gunk that came out of my car was slightly scary!

Mix some multipurpose cleaner like flash lemon or similar in a spray bottle at a ratio of 10. 1 .Great for cleaning all sorts of stains etc .spray on lightly and wipe of with a clean microfibre towel. For grained areas such as door cards and seats use a small soft nailbrush and dry with mf towel Present :2008 TDV8 HSE

I've been using gliptone leather cleaner and conditioner for the seats after seeing a few other members mention it.

I've always used the autoglym for both leather and general stuff which are both good, however, lots of people on here recommend Gliptone for leather so I've ordered some yesterday and plan using it this wknd - will let you know!! Still intend to use AG for the rest though.... RR Vogue TDV8 08 |

If you can work a tiny tootbrush into the piping and crevices you will do an even better job as this will remove all the hidden dirt. |

Gliptone is great because it has the most amazing smell. Very FFRR; reeking of good quality leather.

If you have mud on the headlining, I find letting it dry (very dry week or so etc.) then get a clean almost dry e-cloth and just very gently brush over the spot and the mud gets lifted off onto the cloth not leaving a mark. E-cloths are in most shops like supermarkets now and they come from some sort of NASA technology I think.

I used autoglym leather cleaner and a standard kitchen cleaner for the door cards. Worked a treat. Just made sure to give it a good wash off and dry. [img]http://www.fuelly.com/driver/rob2529/range-rover[img/]
