I bought a 2003 X5 with gray interior. I want to clean some parts and wanted to know if you guys have tips/advice on cleaning.

-I have a couple small stains on the gray headliner. What do you guys recommend to get them out?

-What tools/cleaners do you use to clean the top of the dashboard?

-My seatbelts are awfully dirty and stained. Anything you recommend for that?

-Part of the carpet in the interior is sort of pink for whatever reason. Any products or methods to getting that out?

-The drivers side seat is faded. The leather seems like it has a yellow crease because it's so worn out. Anything I can do to fix it. There's a lot more wrinkles in it than the passenger side and I wanted to know if I can replace the leather or clean it or what?

-Last one. The armrest because its gray is really bad. It's very dirty. Seems like dirt is embedded in the grain. Any product or tool to attempt to clean it?

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Ever thought about a one-time professional cleaning performed by your dealership? That's what I would do and trust me, you won't recognize your car again and it will be really CLEAN! I'm sure they offer some kind of complete interior/exterior package.

I don't suggest that you should bring your car to the dealership every time it's dirty, but after buying a pre-owned one is the perfect time for that.

I just had an exterior cleaning done on our X5 since I couldn't remove the love-bugs any more (no matter what I used and how hard I tried) - now the car looks better than new!
