Interior cleaning of the suede/leather & 2013 rear view mirror oil leak

[Daniele]

Hello!

I am wondering what you all use to clean the interior of your cars?
Though my car was a company leased vehicle for it's entire life prior to me purchasing it in April, so the inside is basically immaculate, however, I tried to rub off a mark from my deodorant on my seat - on the leather part and it started to peel already. I would assume it's from prior owner not actually cleaning and maintaining the leather but I would ALSO like to know what you all use for the dash and so forth. I always have microfibers on deck but I need to do a little more detailing now so any tips would be helpful and appreciated.

Also, as i was tagging things I seen that theres a tag for "2013 sho rear view mirror oil leak"
Can someone lead me in the direction to information about that, because I had that problem the day after I purchased my car in April and it would come and go and now it's just stopped completely.

Thanks!

The rearview mirror is auto dimming, which uses a fluid, which leaked out of yours. If you want yours to function again, it needs to be replaced.

However, it still auto dims?
And for clarification, what needs to be replaced? The fluid? Or the entire rearview mirror?

If it still works, then just leave it alone. Typically if the fluid leaks out, the auto dim no longer functions. You replace the entire mirror- they are not supposed to leak or be refilled in any manner.

damn, if I only had known that was a thing because literally the morning after I purchased the car I saw it leaking and I touched it and cleaned it off and it went away for a while, then came back consistently and then I haven't seen it since so about 2 months its been not leaking.
I complained about a lot of things about the car right after I bought it and I just felt like a nuisance but I should have said something about it, but since I actually went in on 4/22 (bought the car on 4/18) to have a head light bulb replaced and concerns about some rust on my trunk, I had already whipped it off so I couldn't be like yo this is leaking. I guess I could have but like they always do, they say "couldn't reciprocate customer complaint"
Oh well

It's not the image processing module A (camera integral to the interior rear view mirror) that leaks, but the rain sensor that attaches to the windshield. There is a adheasive/goo that allows seamless adhesion of the sensor to the windshield. This goo can leak out. You can try a sensor. in some instances, the glass needs to be replaced.

I use Maguires Interior quick detailer for the dash and all those components and i just take a shop vac, with some leather cleaner to the seats. I just use water and a microfiber to clean the suede on the seats and thats working fine for me lol
