Mr. Clean Erasers on Interior
Bought four of them the other day and was going to use one on my sterring wheel. I wet it down and scrubbed the gloss away and that thing came out so filthy it was unbelieveable. Way it posted here and would like to thank the poster as my wheel came out looking brand new. Amazing.
Question has anyone used it on other interior parts. Dash, center console, doors etc.
Thanks

No doubt they're very useful, just be aware of the company warnings about their use...
...and this...

Attention: The Mr. Clean Magic Eraser is a highly effective cleaning tool. Test first on an inconspicuous spot with light pressure to see if surface may scratch or dull. Not recommended for use on surfaces that are polished/glossy, or on brushed, satin, dark, or faux finishes. Do not use with chlorine bleach.

Someone posted here ( with pics )the other day that he used them to remove scuff marks from the door sills. Turned out really well. Sorry I can't find the link, I'll look for it somemore and post it if i find it.

I just used it last night for the first time, and it tore up the scuff marks on my Shale interior... 99% gone. Something many other products couldn't do.
By the way, listen to the product suggestions on where NOT to use it. This means painted surfaces (an example.)
I thought "how bad could it be?" and then tried it on some nasty something next to my door handle that has resisted goo gone / wd 40 etc...
...Magic Eraser is GREAT for sanding clearcoat off.
...but at least I got the nasty mark off my door.

Try it on your leather seats. They're dirty and you don't know it. Trust me.

I bought one and threw it out. Tried it on some grease on the kitchen cabinets and it took the finish off. Tried it on something else and it left it dull and filmy. I'd never use it anywhere near my vette.

Worked like a champ on my leather in the Vette and our Celica for some dirt and smudges. The key for using these things is NOT to press real hard. Not light like you're claybarring paint, but you don't need to put your elbow into it either.

Did it affect the leather adversely at all?

Not at all. It didn't scuff, didn't peel it back, didn't melt it, nothing. I've used it on my dash also to remove some residue from a stick on cell phone mount that the previous owner had with great results also. Have not and will not be trying on the paint though.

I did use Saddle soap on my seats that my daughter had left from cleaning her English jumping saddle and it came out great. I was really surprised on just how filthy they actually were. The saddle soap reconditioned the threads holding it together too and moistened the leather to the point where they feel brand new. Afterwards I rubbed them down with a specail polish made for leather jackets. It's about 40 bucks for the bottle and they look great. Can't recall the name of the stuff, but it's almost pure lanolin. Son got it for free when he bought an expensive leather flight jacket and he never used it.
A neighbor who makes leather items, belts, gun holsters etc. said that lanolin is the best thing for any kind of leather. I'll try to find the name of the stuff. Havn't used it on the dach etc yet because I wanted to know if it were Ok to clean it with the eraser.

Like he said....the key is light pressure. You will be amazed at how much dirt comes off.
Do a side by side test on leather seats and you will really see the difference.

Be careful though...it may not be only dirt coming off onto the "eraser"...it may also be leather dye.

I have not experienced that problem, but you bring up a very good point. You definitely need to test in an out of the way spot to make sure you will not harm the interior.
