Once CCI revamps your vintage car’s interior, it’s important to take steps to keep it fresh. Here are a few tips from CCI on how to protect vintage auto upholstery.

• Wipe spills up with a soft cloth. Make sure to keep a few microfiber cloths in your glove box to clean up spills as they happen. Avoid using a paper napkin to clean up spills because it may scratch your upholstery.
• Vacuum regularly. Over time, dirt and grime will cause long-term damage to your upholstery. Make sure to vacuum your car’s interior regularly to avoid excess build-up and help your refurbished upholstery last.
• Crack the windows. Excessive heat can damage your car’s interior and cause excessive wear to your upholstery. Vintage cars are typically not driven as frequently as your everyday automobile. The fix to prevent heat from damaging your car’s interior is simple. Keep the car windows cracked to allow heat to disperse.
• Cover car. Keep your car covered when it is not in use to prevent exposure to the elements. Sunlight can fade your upholstery and cause it to crack. It’s also a good idea to use a shade on the windshield and try to park the car in shady spots.
• Protect the leather. If your vintage car has leather seats, it’s a good idea to clean them regularly with a leather cleaner and condition the leather for added protection. CCI has cleaners available for purchase at its online store, including cloths, sponges, leather cleaner, and leather conditioner.
