Interior cleaners...

[Jason Nichols]

What interior cleaners are you guys using? I tried the Meguiar's ultimate protectant and finish came out all blotchy because of the texture of the dash. The Meguiar's leather detailer worked well on the black seats BTW.

I use the armor all stuff that comes in wipes. I usually do one pass to get all of the dust/random dog hairs/whatever else and start the process of spreading the semi wet look... then I go back behind it with a new wipe and it comes out real nice. Sometimes you have to rub it a few times to make it even. This is the easiest way I've found to get the surfaces looking consistent. 

 

Looks like a brand new truck each time I do it.

As said above.  Armor All cleaning wipes or interior detailer wipes works great.  Mostly I just use a terry cloth with warm water/car wash solution.

If it doesn’t come out right the first time just wait a couple days and do it again. I had a blotchy look after my first application of detailer on my new truck but after the second one everything looked even and no missed spots.

303 works great and it’s not shiny.

mckees fast interior is great. light cleaning and light protectant and safe for all surfaces including lcd screen. If you're really dirty you'll need something else, and I also recommend a more permanent protectant. But this stuff is great for a quick and efficient light clean. I also recommend a swiffer wipe wand. they're awesome for getting the dust and i'll use one with the windows open doing 30.

you should be banned for recommending this garbage. Anybody with any detailing knowledge at all would agree. The cleaner is ok. The protectant is horrible for your dash.

I have used Klasse Cleaner/Protectant for the last few years with great success.  It does a nice job cleaning, lasts a long time and has more of a matte finish.

I've used the cleaning wipes on both my vehicles for several years now with great results.  I however rarely use the detailing wipes or use protectant on my dash especially the regular Armor All protectant. The few times I've used the detailing wipes I didn't have any issues.  That was on my 2016 haven't used on my '19.  The wipes aren't oily like Armor all protectant and like spraying Pam cooking spray on your dash. It gave a uniform matte finish with no "said" blotches like the Meguiar's. I don't like an oily or shiny dash and door panels. Like said, I mostly use a damp terry cloth and the occasionally use the cleaning wipes with great results. To each his own bud.

yeah the cleaning wipes are good. But as you said, armoralls protectant will actually do more harm than good in the long run and should be avoided if you care about your ride. Sure it's a nice glossy finish that some like, but there are better alternatives out there that also include good uv protectants.

Agree but, the detailing wipes aren't glossy and "wet" looking like regular Armor All and the original Armor All wipes.  The interior detailing wipes have no shine and gives a uniform matte finish without the oily gloss which I don't like that cooks your dash.  Maybe you're thinking of these.  Not the same and wouldn't use on my dash.

The dealer gave me a little kit with a bunch of the Adams stuff GM sells, so I've been using the Adams interior cleaner to clean and follow up with 303 for some UV protection.

Start with all the doors open and a leaf blower

Thanks guys... I'm going to try the Meguiar's one more time and see if it evens out. If not, my neighbor works for a paint shop and they use the chemical guys products for everything so I'll probably give them a try.

Baby wipes! From huggies or really any kind. After my kid grew out of diapers , i continued buying them. They clean very well, but not with crazy chemicals and they dont shine . Just a nice clean
