Magic Eraser is a 'must have'

Mr. Clean has a product called the 'Magic Eraser'.
It is a sponge made of a lightweight foam material.
You simply wet it and attack dirt with it.

I had not seen enthusiastic testimonials such as they garner,
other than with something like the Surfpick.

I tried it this morning.
First I tried a back door panel.
I just tried some Race Glaze on this a few days ago...
and it did not remove the yellowing from the vinyl.
A few wipes with the ME and it was gone.
I just cleaned a vertical strip, so that you could see the difference.



I then went to my grimiest area, which is the driver's door panel
and tried it on a portion of the inside handle.



They don't recommend it on some areas, such as car bodies...
but many of the testimonials were for removing things such as tar from a car.
Some users that do a lot of vehicles say that it works best on white cars, for some reason?

I know that this is technically a 'detailing' issue...
but I wanted to make sure that my diesel brethren saw this.

If you try it, please share your results.

Ra, that looks pretty cool. I have the same interior color and grime/yellowing. Where do you get this? I was planning on recoloring with SEM color coat because the stuff won't fully come off. This sure looks easier.

Oh, I see. It's a Proctor & Gamble product. Is it available at supermarkets?

Any grocery store or Wal-mart type place should have it. My store does. I'm almost positve they come in packs of two or four. I'm glad you posted this because the interior of my bimmer is that color and its really grimy like that.

Whoa, I had no idea that a cincinnati company (P&G) could impact the whole nation!

I mean, I knew they were big, but that is a fairly new product, and everyone already has it? wow.
