You could hang one from the mirror or spray a quick burst in the cabin and hope the problem goes away. But does that really fix the issue?

In truth, air fresheners only mask unpleasant odors instead of eliminating their source. If you’re constantly fighting the same smell, it's likely hidden deeper than your seats or...

If you’re using Cockpit Premium, you probably love its clean, matte finish with no greasy residue. But we’ve seen some questions pop up about streaking, especially when surfaces get wet. Here are a few key things to keep in mind for the best results:

✅ Cockpit Premium is for interior surfaces only – It’s a cleaner and treatment for plastic, vinyl, and rubber inside your car. If these surfaces get wet...

The best way to describe is as if there was an adhesive poured all over it. Goo-Gone with a polishing pad used by hand has certainly helped, but it's all still very sticky and noticeable. I've also tried Nextzett (1Z)...

Okay I'm looking for a nice leather cleaner and Conditioner that is way better then what you can get at your local auto parts store buts isnt $75 a bottle for the cleaner and another $100 for the conditioner. This is for my truck and wife's car. I know the expensive stuff is probably worth it, just not in the budget right now.
Also, looking for a nice multipurpose interior cleaner (plastics, leather dash, etc.) Any help with these?

Also, is there still a discount code for...

Amateur here.

My mom purchased a 2006 Rav4 off of my friend who's mom had passed away. It was his mom's car. She was a lifetime smoker.

We have thoroughly cleaned the car, but there's still a lingering smoke smell.

The car has leather seats.

I'm suspecting the headliner has a ton of residue left in it.

We want to totally remove the smell. I have cleaned the carpets with my little Bissel cleaner. No stains or anything there.

What is the best way to remove the smell/residue...

1. Heat is the biggest enemy of microsuede.
   • If you think you can clean this fabric with steam, think again. Overheating microsuede will permanently damage it, causing it to become crusty, dry, and hardened. Reviving this fabric is near impossible so if you have to use heat around it, don’t go any higher than 140 degrees.
2. Don’t use just water to clean it.
   • You might think water is fairly...

I've noticed the door panels and seat backs on my e46 are slightly faded and splotchy. I don't believe these surfaces are leather But instead leatherized vinyl. Regardless I've tried cleaning and conditioning them with leather masters as well as einzett cockpit premium. Neither of these have worked. It seems to me like they may be UV damaged so my question to you all is what can I do to bring it back to a uniform satin black.
