    Audi - interior care

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hey guys,
    The 2005.5 B7 2.0T is my second AUDI. When I had the convertible, for cleaning the vinyl/plastic interior parts I used Armor All or similar products.
    I dont think the car liked it because it experienced some peeling which was covered under warranty by Audi.
    I am trying to avoid those kind of problems but I can't find AUDI approved products for car care to the ONLY Audi dealership in town. I was hoping you guys could advise me on what should I use for cleaning/protecting the vinyl/plastic on doors, etc. I have the black interior and on the door, where I keep my elbow, that region is turning white.
    The service person told me to use water with a little bit of soap and then wipe it clean. I dont know if I should do that.
    PLEASE HELP.

    I had peeling in my B6 audi and it was caused by the humidity that i have down here in Florida, so the dealer said was the problem...i really didnt care cause it was covered under warranty so my interior always looked new.

    Now the question that i have and sorry for the thread jack is what can we use to clean and condition the interior without leaving that oily feeling behind....nothing i hate more than getting into a car and you feel all oily and sticking because of the products used inside the interior. All i ever use for my interior is a damp rag and pass it around....but i dont feel 100% comfortable with that cause it doesnt gett conditioned.

    Any good products out there to condition without the Oily and slippery affect.

    Armorall sucks... don't use anything sillicone based, it will dry your shit out. Use Porsche cleaner or Lexol.

    I've heard good things about the Lexol...although I have been just using a damp-ish microfiber towel, and a "Swiffer" duster for the most part.
