I know some cars you just can't no matter how hard you try and often times the cleaning products themselves will end up leaving marks and spots where theyve not been used properly.

Zymol leather and zymol vinyl cleaner should clean all that shiny muck off, I don t use anything else after using either as they all distort the oem look.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi guys, currently looking at purchasing a 981 Cayman, just missed out on one close to me having been too slow to pull the trigger. Was in great condition, interior felt good as new - completely unblemished and no shiny steering wheel or shiny black plastic in the centre console. A lot of the ones i'm seeing online seem to suffer from a shiny interior and my question is how easy it is to bring these back to life and remove the shine and marks? I know some cars you just can't no matter how hard you try and often times the cleaning products themselves will end up leaving marks and spots where theyve not been used properly. Also any recommendations for leather or interior plastic cleaners would be much appreciated.

POST 2Original post

A lot of interiors can be restored back with the right products. It depends on the level of dirt/grime but a detailer will probably have more chance Alcantara, despite what people say, is much harder to bring back to the factory finish. Once the fibres mat down it's difficult to restore them

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks, for some reason an interior detailer never crossed my mind, blinded by the excitement of my first Porsche I think!

POST 4Original post

No worries, exciting times for sure! If you are more specific about the interior spec then people can probably help. Unless buying private then would expect most garages to do the interior prep as part of handover, otherwise something that could be negotiated for sure
