1. My dashboard and leather seats are feeling dry and the seats are not coming clean. I also have an ink mark I can’t remove. Can you help?

Yes. You will love the way our Leather/Vinyl Cleaner and Conditioner not only deep cleans but also softens your dashboard and seats. Use it on the steering wheel to remove oil and dirt. For general cleaning and conditioning apply it using a soft damp cloth. For ink apply a good dab full strength, wait an hour then wipe to remove. Repeat if a bit of ink still remains. Leather/Vinyl Care will not remove gel ink or non-removable inks. Nothing will as those inks are permanent.

2.  The bugs on my windshield are almost impossible to remove. I live down south and they are especially bad when the “love bugs” are flying around. Is there any hope?

Yes hope is spelled Advantage. Bugs are difficult to remove because glass is porous. When they hit the windshield the “juices” all bake into those open pores from the heat of the sun.

First clean your windshields with Benya to remove any smears or streaks. Apply a very light coat of Advantage to your windshield by pouring a very small amount of Advantage on our Baby Diaper Cloth Towels or a clean soft cloth. Apply too much and your windshields will smear. Advantage contains a polymer, which leaves the surface slick. It also gives your vehicle the protection against sun ray damage. That coating prevents the bugs from being able to bake into the glass making removal very easy and improving visibility when it rains. Ice and snow glide off easier as well.

3.  It seems like I’m constantly replacing my windshield wiper blades. Are they really wearing out that quickly?

Clean the windshield wiper blades monthly with sudsy water to prevent them from smearing the windshield. It will extend the wear of the rubber which will save you the cost of frequent replacements. If they smear after cleaning then it is time to replace them.

4. Mary, I have heard my friends rave about your Advantage and I have to admit, their RVs and cars look better than any brand new car on a lot. I have been using another product. Will there be a problem if I start using Advantage?

Use Advantage with confidence. Advantage has been specially formulated to remove the prior petroleum distillates leaving your RV and car with a rich deep color and stunning shine. It will remove the impurities, oxidation and help restore the color – if the paint has not begun to wear. It sometimes takes two applications for the true shine to show. After that, carry sunglasses with you!
