Kids, Sunscreen, Black Leather. ARGHHH

gadget32 · 05-19-2014, 12:55 PM

Help someone!! My little one got in the back of the car after my wife had sunscreened her up and now I has discoloured leather.

Before I do anything, does anyone have a good tip for cleaning my leather???

Kids should be strapped in the boot with the mother.

Great Idea, I did order the extended storage pack so maybe there is something in the boot to strap them down with!

If you have adaptive suspension, click sport mode, harden the ride and really floor it. Make sure they are well strapped in as otherwise you might be up for manslaughter.

Yep, do this but quickly before it gets into the leather (shouldn't as it's coated. It who knows). It comes off skin with soapy water so should do with leather!

Check your paintwork, that's an even bigger problem!

Yes just wash and treat the leather like normal next time you valet.

Watch out for finger marks burning into your paintwork with sun cream on.

Yes, it's a disaster. I've got friends with a permanent hand print mark on their car! Can be fixed but takes a lot of effort.

Just a bit of polish will usually do...unless its been left for weeks and weeks.

Yep, my friend left it a year...

That explains the dull white patch on the rear wing of my wife Saab, couldnt work out what caused it, must have been suncream left on for ages.
Right then the car is getting a full wash and check over tomorrow....

Seriosuly wouldn't worry about the leather, Ive seen that exact image a 100 times in my cars, always comes up like new.
