#10 of 13 Interior Care by mikenaka Jan 12, 2009 (4:01 pm)
Hi, I recently purchased a 2008 Acura TL Type S. My first new car in 18 years. Prior to that I drove a 1990 Toyota Tercel that I never bothered washing or cleaning.   Consequently, I have some silly questions about cleaning the interior of my TL. 1) What should I use to clean the seats? Some kind of leather cleaner? The seats are leather, correct? 2) What should I use to clean and care for the dashboard? Is the dahboard vinyl or does it have a leather covering? I have no experience with anything other than vinyl (seats, dash, etc.). Thanks for any suggestions and help! Replies to this message: keithl (Jan 28, 2009 4:30 am)
#11 of 13 Fuel fill problem by GerryHS Jan 14, 2009 (12:34 pm)
The filler hose shuts down when the fuel level reaches 14 gallons. With a lot of time and effort, I can squeeze in 3 more gallons, 3-4 ounces at a time.   Does anyone have a similar problem, and if so, how have you cured it?

Replying to: mikenaka (Jan 12, 2009 4:01 pm) Having owned 5 different 3G TL cars from 04-08 I can tell you the only thing to use on your dash is the Honda Cleaner, it is $4 can that you spray on. The TL has a nasty probelm of leeching chemicals from the dash that make the dash look faded and blatchy. If you use other stuff you'll not be happy over time. Use the Honda cleaner, there is also a Honda vinyl protectant that is decent. I only use those 2 treatments. There was a Acura TSB about the dash that lists both products and the proper way to clean the dash. As fo rthe seats I use LeatherCPR, totally awesome. No film or residue, cleaner and condition in one and leaves leather feeling soft and supple.

Got a quote from a dealer in chicago area for used 2008 w/15,877 miles, pretty loaded. That seems pretty high.
