What do I do!!! The entire leather interior looks and feels greasy?? How can I get it off? Will it ever go away by itself?

 

Had the same thing happen to one of my cars a couple of years ago and I feel your pain. It will go away on its own, but it's slippery and unattractive to say the least.

I've had some luck using this product on leather surfaces:

It does not leave a greasy, or shiny appearance on leather and gets the job done.

Before applying, I'd probably use a slightly moistened towel to remove some of the Armor All first.

I would also not recommend using this car wash again.. most higher end facilities should know better!

 

Running your TT through a car wash - how did the rear wheels fit? I'd be more worried about wheel damage. You can use a good leather cleaner (Zaino) to clean the Armorall off.

 

I'd hope that the OP didn't run it through one of those type of washes..

 

hand wash at a car wash facility. Not the best job but it was fast and easy

 

I have seen many turbos go through my local machine wash and they say it fits perfectly. The tracks are wide.

 

NOT the recommended method of removing Armor All:

I knew this was coming lol

 

It will fade off eventually. You can find some grease cutters and cleaners on autogeek if you're impatient but give it a few weeks and it'll be gone. maybe a bit longer if it's been cold up in the NE.

 

That stuff is real bad for leather. Get it off with interior cleaner. then use a proper leather care kit.

 

I would immediately buy Zymol leather cleaner and go over all of your leather several times. It's great stuff. After a few applications, and giving it a day or two to soak in, put on Zymol Treat (conditioner).

 

I fixed it all up tonight. All I had available to me was to go to whole foods and get the most simple eco friendly cleaner I could find. I found one that was all natural and said safe for leather. I brought it home and diluted it with water 4:1 I used a rag to dip in the mixture and gently wipe the affected areas. I then dried it with a dry towel. It all looks great now and no more greasy shine! Thanks guys.

 

glad it worked out. thanks for sharing!

 

those carwashes with the wheel guide royally f up the inside of your wheel lip, especially on cars with different front and rear offsets like ours. i dont even let the hand wash guy touch mine, not when I see the rags those guys drop on the floor and reuse and the watch / ring wearing while they do it.
