    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

Anybody come up with a solution for removing sunscreen from these seats? It’s just showing up as darker patches on the seats, so it’s more of an annoyance than anything.
 
Use Simple green 1/2 strength and spray liberally to soak and then let set for a minute or so and use a damp terry cloth rags to scrub the area's. For the perforated seats, leave it sit a little longer if needed. The degreasing action of the material breaks it up. Don't be afraid of it harming the seat material, its rather hard and does not absorb readily. I have done it countless times to my cars with no ill effects.

Excellent, thanks. I tried one of the many leather cleaners I’ve got and it definitely left a residue. Will try your suggestion this weekend!
