    How To Properly Clean Your Interior



    This is the Pinnacle Concours Interior Kit and I am using it on the leather seats below. I used this kit because it has everything you need for your interior. There are really only 3 steps to this kit and it doesn't take long to do. First step is to clean the leather and vinyl, then condition the leather, and finally condition the vinyl and rubber. Very simple to use and the results are amazing.

    The Pinnacle Leather & Vinyl Cleaner has natural citrus cleaners that lift out grease, oils, and dirt. It also has a fresh lemon scent that smells really good. The cleaner really got in there and removed all the grime and dirt that was in the leather.


    Dirt And Grime Buildup




    Use The Wood Grip Scrub Brush To Remove Deep Down Dirt And Stains


    Clean The Vinyl With A Microfiber Applicator


    Next is the Pinnacle Leather Conditioner. The conditioner nourishes the leather with a rich formula of lanolin and natural oils. Pinnacle Leather Conditioner contains a really strong UV protectant but also leaves your leather feeling soft and supple.


    Applying Leather Conditioner


    And the last step with this kit is the Pinnacle Vinyl & Rubber Protectant. This will beautify and protect your car's dash, vinyl seats and door facings against premature aging. It gives you a non-greasy satin finish that won’t glare when the sun hits it. The dash came out looking great as you can see….

    And The End Results



    Overall this kit is absolutely amazing. As you can see, the process is very simple and makes the interior look brand new in 3 easy steps. Thanks for looking

    A soft tooth brush works great for that

    It appears to add a gloss and shine to the leather and vinyl. Does this dissipate after some time or does the shine remain?

    The leather seats weren't too bad as is, there was dirt buildup in the cracks but I do treat the leather with Pinnacle often. This was a quick how-to showing how easy the kit works

    The gloss does dissipate after a while and I took that picture right after I applied it too.

    I tend to use a leather cleaner, leather conditioner, and use some dressing to bring out some shine

    How were you able to get debris out of the perforated leather on the seats. I have material similar to the one in the photos and nothing seems to get it out. I've tried gentle brushes, MF pads, and a shop vac with no joy. On black leather it really stands out.

    I would like to know this too! I have a Subaru coming up soon & it is DISGUSTING! Lets just say, it's a company car that the employee just didn't care about, with three very young children. Not to mention the old 'how the heck did they get THAT gunk in there'?

    Haha! Nice. Problem is we don't have Walmart in New Zealand. But good news, I'll be in the States in a couple of weeks & I'll add this to our shopping list!
