| From: Ian Gunney; I have recently had the whole
interior of my 1966 912 retrimmed by a company in the UK called Southbound Motor
Trimmers. It has been completed to original spec - ie square weave carpet etc.
As yet I haven't cleaned it, but in the pst i have used products by Autoglym which have
been really good. However, I am not sure whether these are available in the US.
I look forward to reading what other people use to preserve there insides! From: Johnflacey; Simple is optimal. Electrolux, Windex, Flitz, Armor All. Best regards, John L. From: DAVID LOVATO; CLEAN ME!! Hi, We owe this superb site a great deal!! Thanks to our Web-parents for all the fun!!Recently hit an armadillo in 9126000496 which resulted in a virtually perfect round dent on the front valance- which got me thinking about paint, which got me cleaning and polishing after the trip!! My 912E reflects the base-price origins of the model year with a vinyl tan interior, camel carpet and black pockets/etc. Interior cleaning problems common to the car are vinyl haze on the rear window, and slight yellowing of the headliner. I use two cleaners for the vinyl- a citrus based 'cockpit cleaner' and ArmorAll (?) multi-purpose cleaner. Follow up with Lexol Vinylex- which is supposed to be pretty effective in the sunscreen dept. I use P21S window wipes, and an alcohol based window spray both of which clean the 'fog' pretty well. For the (few) leather bits-n-pieces I use KIWI Saddle Soap. I do clean and wax the door-jams and bits-o-painted car that meet the inside with a less expensive carnuba wax- either Maguiar's (?) Gold paste or the P21S Concours Wax. The outside gets the Zymol. I try to keep it pretty clean, but the interior carpet on the rear seatbacks has faded a bit, and I'm looking at either replacing or re-dying the panels. Most of the other interior parts are in excellent shape otherwise- a tribute to the OE suppliers tasked with providing a 'less expensive' interior.
