Cleaning your Mark

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: NJack2AF

I was just wondering if you guys use anything special for cleaning the interior of your Marks? I'm looking for a way to get my door panels nice and clean, I have trouble with the texture of that material... Its hard for me to get the crevises clean. So how do you guys clean your Marks?

I use the Wal-Mart blue can spray. It works alright. I need to either replace my carpet, or have the sumbitch' steamed!

I hear ya there, my carped is screwed

Which reminds me I've been wanting to ask you guys what something good to fill in holes in my floorboard would be... Water splashes up into my carpet when it rains, I think there were rubber gaskets in there that fell out...

Sounds like a job for... The Home Depot. Grab a couple universal gaskets from the plumbing section and then pick up a tube of silicone sealer. Hell, AutoZone or Pep Boys might even have some replacement in the "HELP!" section...

Which I can't imagine would be the case.

Good luck.

Back to the original q:

Armor all glass wipes for everything except the turn signal lever because it takes the white lettering off.

Armor All sucks, I'm not trying to say I like Armor All. I hate armor all.

But their glass wipes work real good for a universal cleaner, more for maintenance than cleaning grime though.

If there's grime, grab windex and a good rag. I keep all my crevices clean just by wiping once in awhile, sucks to let it build up.

Also your vents pop right out, let them soak in the sink in soapy dishwater, preferrably Dawn dish soap. Especially if you smoke, or, live on gravel, or, haven't cleaned them forever.

I've been trying that new line of eagleone NANOWAX products this month. I've been really happy with how well they all seem to work. They are really good and the application of all the products is easy.
