I tried to search but my computer is stupid and wont complete a search.. it jsut spins and spins

I was wondering what you guys use to clean the interior panels, such as the doors / dash / etc etc

Ive tried both armor all and black magic.

Just curious to see what everyone used and what they thought of it

All suggestions welcome

 

I found that valor (sp) carpet cleaner and a chamis is great for cleaning interior trim panels/dash, and the chamis picks up everything.

 

This shouldn't be in here try apperance forum. I like to use a nice tack cloth to clean off the dust then armor all clean the seats,and carpet with a steam cleaner and furniture attachments

 

As far as the interior goes... I wipe everything down with a damp 100% terry cloth first. It helps to have a toothbrush and a detailing brush to clean the places that a cloth can't such as small crevices and vents. If you are as **** as I am, you can even take out your center console, cup holders, shift console and even the trunk/fuel cover and wash them inside and out and vacuum underneath. I have some Meguires interior cleaner that I have yet to try, but i hear a small... small amount of simple green helps too. Just dont let it sit because it can discolor your panels. Im even about to rip out the back panels in my coupe and vacuum/clean them and behind them. The gray trim is something else that I would do, but then again im extremely ****.

 

i use simple green, brush, and a rag. never has it discolored anything. been doing it this way for years

You're going to want to wash off all that armor all. It has a tendency to build up and will make the interior look older thanit is.

Cleaning an interior usually needs little more than water and a cloth and maybe a little bit of soap.

Be careful with soaps because it can discolor the interior. I've also seen Simple Green temporarily discolor the interior panels.

I use Meguiar's Vinyl and Rubber Cleaner and Conditioner. Buff it off early and it will have a natural finish. Wipe it on and let it dry and it will make it shiny. I prefer natural since it won't glare.

I've also found those Swifter Dusters are good for regular dusting. Q-tips and an old soft bristled toothbrush are also great to have around (put a cloth folded on your lap, lay the toothbrush on it, and then spray the Meguiar's cleaner on it).

When detailing the interior vacuum first, it will get rid of a lot of dust. Sometimes I vacuum again after quping everything down too.

Oh, and opening your windows or turning your vents on will make your car's interior dusty faster.

My hand detail thread (linked in sig) also has a section on interior.

 

Do you want the Dash Looking like it has tire shine on it, way too much glare... KASTLE makes a glass cleaner that doesnt Have a Harsh Smell, Smells like a Really light Cologne. Spotless is way better than Tire Shine..... Every time you touch your heater controls there all greasy...

Are you telling me you've used tire shine on your interior...

 

I use armor all and a clean cloth.
