Interior Cleaning

[Jrthomp]

So my interior is pretty dirty right now. I went to the car wash to use their free vacuums, but it only removed about half of the crap below my car mats. I'm wondering what everyone here uses to clean the interior, i.e. dash, center console (in the tiny cracks and such), the TONS of dust that covers the steering wheel and everything every morning. I also have some leftover moisture from a cup i left in the cupholder for a while, might need to scrape it all off from under the cupholder.

I bought this little blackmagic detailing kit, with 2 brushes, and a little scraper to get inside edges, but it doesn't work all the time. Also, how the HECK do the insides of my windows keep smearing?!? I don't ever touch them with a glass cleaner. I use Invisible Glass and a microfiber towel on the outside and they STILL get smeared like crazy!

Thanks for any kind of help you can give me guys!

Meguiar's Quik Interior Detailer Wipes or Spray via MF towel

invisible glass is the way to go ;)
try to fold ur MF towel, first swipe with one side the whole window, then finally dry it with the other dry side of the towel. no streaks, no smears, no fuss :)

Interiors:
All kinds of dust, fumes, smoke and dirt builds up inside of a cars interior, much of it is brought in by the driver and passengers, but traffic fumes and air-borne dirt enters via the vehicles ventilation system.

Every single interior surface is affected. Periodically it needs to be thoroughly cleaned to remove pollutants and preserve the original surfaces, ensuring the vehicles like-new condition. The surfaces involved in this cleaning are; glass, vinyl, leather, plastics, fabric, carpets and various acrylic surfaces.

To remove stains the surface tension that bonds them must be released, then the stain encapsulated and held in suspension to be removed. I’m repeatedly asked which product is the best interior cleaner. There is no one-product answer; as the so-called all purpose cleaners (APC) do not remove every stain, different stains require different solvents to remove them.

When cleaning a stain, try detergent and water first. If this does not remove the stain, then try a stronger type cleaner) once fabric is clean apply a fabric protection (303TM High Tech Fabric Guard) Between these cleaners you should be able to remove 99% of stains occurring in a vehicle and around the home; Start with a 10:1 solution and decrease dilution as necessary;
Carpets- 303™ Rug / Upholstery Cleaner & Spot Remover or Folex Instant Carpet Spot Remover
P21S Total Auto Wash (its active ingredient is d-limonene (citrus) a safe all purpose cleaner (APC)
Woolite® Heavy Traffic Carpet Foam or Hoover Deep Cleansing Carpet/Upholstery Detergent

(A carpet extractor will inject a cleaner into the fabric and then remove dirt along with the water)

Fabric seats - 303™ Rug / Upholstery Cleaner & Spot Remover or 303™ Aerospace Cleaner
PVC – a solution of Woolite and distilled water or a citrus-based cleaner and water to remove stains use 1Z Cockpit Premium as a matte finish dressing.
Plastic - Plexus, BTI™ Chemicals Plastic Polish & Cleaner

Leather – a solution of Woolite and distilled water and Leather Master Protection, as a shield against stains etc

Washable surfaces - Distilled water / Woolite 10:1 or 303 Cleaner & Spot Remover ™

Glass surfaces - Stoner's Invisible Glass and a (Norwex) glass cleaning cloth with a super tight knit.
Wood surfaces – Klasse or Zaino All-In-One (AIO)

Ultra violet (UV) protection - for all interior surfaces- 303™ Aerospace Protectant or Optimum Protectant Plus
