Default Thoughts on interior cleaners? Been using the Griot's Interior cleaner, but is there something

better? I use it on the seats and all the plastics/vinyls. Seems to work pretty well, but it's not the strongest thing in the world...

Default I would think

303 Aerospace would do a nice job as well.


I have also been tempted to try this one out too....<ul><li><a href="http://www.detailersparadise.com/_System/_AdvancedStore/ProductDetail.asp">http://www.detailersparadise.com/_System/_AdvancedStore/ProductDetail.asp</a</li></ul>

Default Wipe with slightly damp cotton towel if needed- - ->

Harley Poly Guard on everything except leather and clear plastic.. One coat, wipe after fifteen minutes for a perfect matte finish or leave on for a shiney ricer look.

Lexol for leather and Plexus for clear plastic or plastic coated trim...

Default I use Harley Polyguard, but verrrry sparingly.

I spray it on a microfiber cloth, not on the surface to be wiped down. I dampen the cloth and then wipe. This leaves behind just a trace of the Polyguard, just enough to clean and freshen the appearance. I'll do this only a couple times a year. The rest of the time I use a cloth dampened only with plain water to wipe down interior surfaces. I don't like the artifical look of shiny surfaces...not on the dash or the seats, and not on the tires. Just my personal preference.

Default Totally agree, with exceptions- ->

I don't like to use a microfiber because even a very hot wash won't get tha HPG out of the cloth. I use very cheap disposable painters cloths and chuck them when I am done (bought Painters Cloths in a Box at Home Depot)

The bottle I have has lasted the better part of three years. I do it maybe three times a year and CaliDuster in between unless I get something on the finish...like if I open the window when it's raining and get water spots on the arm rest..
