Oh it's just interior

[southside2402]

Just curious what kind of interiors you guys all have. What do you use to clean and maintain the leather and vinyl. Greasy cleaners: Friend or Foe and why? This also includes the inside of the windshield. C'mon what really works for not only the initial clean, but keeping the windshield from showing lines across every time it rains.

armor all high-shine on lower parts.
armor all low-shine on dash (sun glare makes it impossible to see with high-shine)
miguires plast-x for the gauge cluster.
safelight-auto glass foam window cleaner for windows.
miguires leather cleaner and conditioner for my shifter boot.
Spot-shot for heavy duty carpet stains.

I've heard rumors that if you use armor all for a while and then stop using it you're interior is more prone to dry and crack. You guys every heard this before?

armor-all is an oil based product, do you want oil based prodcuts on leather or plastic??
No. I hate armor-all!!

 

[Dr Fildo]

Plastic is made from petroleum, isn't it?

I've been thinking about adding the leather cleaner and conditioner to my list....does it make the leather softer?

My theory is that since you are INSIDE the car when you drive it, it must be a perfect a zen place to be.

- Bissell Little Green Machine
- Various Brushes
- Folex
- CG APC
- CG Silk Shine
- CG Glass Cleaner
- CG Liquid Leather
- CG Pete's 53
- CG Fabric Guard
- CG Watermelon Slice
- Stoner's Invisible Glass
- 1Z Cockpit Premium
- 1Z Gummi Pflege
- Zymol Treat Leather Conditioner

So.... Lets begin!!!

As you can see I dont have that much filth.... I keep it pretty clean!!!

I started off with the Floor mats. I am VERY clean about my car, No eating and i wear special driving shoes.... But black hides....

After 3 Runs with the Little Green Machine & Folex.....

On to the Pedals!!! Cleaned up my Bullet Pedals with a Envy Valet Brush and some CG Window Cleaner!!

Fresh and Clean!!!

Now I started to Dust off the Interior with a Meguire's Brush and a MF Towel

Next I did a wipe down with CG APC to remove any old product still on my dash.

Next, I decided to try 1Z Cockpit premium on my interior for the first time

So, the 1Z Cockpit premium did a GREAT job on cleaning my dash and interior plastic. Cleaned it so good it left it super matt looking. I guess thats the look it gives, but on the Mustang dash, it looked too weird to me. I like me Dash SUPER wet and dark looking.... So i went and grabbed the CG Silk Shine!!

This picture is BEFORE the silk shine was applied and AFTER the 1Z cockpit premium. You can see how Matt the 1Z leaves the Dash.

That wet silk shine look!!

Next, I decided to throw a coat of 'Nuba wax on the back of my Sparco Seat since its fiberglass and black. I picked CG Pete's 53' for the job!!!

Since all the interior fabric was clean, I protected it with some CG Fabric Protectant to avoid any future issues!!!

Need to make sure that Redline Goods Shift and Ebrake boot stays nice and soft.... So I used some CG Liquid Leather on all the leather in the front.

Next, I busted out the Invisible Glass to make everything crystal!!!

Gotta get the car spelling good.... Picked CG watermelon slice for the Scent!!! *I love this Stuff*

1Z Gummi Pflege on all the rubber seals

Finally Done!! looks Great!!!

Dont Forget The Keys!!! The Plastic Got 1Z Cockpit Premium and the leather on the keychain got the Zymol Treat!!

I'm thinking I need to get a Bissel!

Handz, where do you get that rubber seal treatment?

Pretty sure Autogeek has it.

 

[Dr Fildo]

Wow, that's clean. My interior is white, though. Nearly IMPOSSIBLE to keep it that clean. You'd be surprised what you can get away with on the black that just doesn't cut it on white.

No. I hate armor-all!!

Wrong Armor All Original is in fact water based, when it was found to cause cracking and stain windshields (out gassing due to petroleum base) it was reformulated at least 10 yrs ago.

To answer the op question I use
Megs APC+ 10:1
Optimum interior dressing on everything
Leather Masters Vital on well leather

My theory is that since you are INSIDE the car when you drive it, it must be a perfect a zen place to be.

I agree
