Interior Cleaning Tips

Out of all the detailing stuff I use, I have found only ONE detailer that I swear by and love.
Meguiar's Direct NXT Generation® Tech Protectant

yuk, armorall sucks.

on the plastic panels i use Prima Nero (dries matte) and Griot's Interior Cleaner for the carpeting and seats if i ever get stains.

you can get prima products through amazon or
www.detailersparadise.com

Griot's products from Car Care, Detail Supplies, Garage Organization, Car Accessories - Griot's Garage 800-345-5789

if you have leather in the car, definitely try their LeatherCare Spray.
thing cleans and dries matte. very nice product. i use it on my G's seats all the time.

i would use Prima Clarity for that area along with the LCD. it contains no alcohol and cleans very well.

for the applicator i would use the glass MF towels.

if you have a Nav dash DO NOT spray the LCD screen. Spray the towel or whatever you are using and then wipe the screen lightly.

I have never had any streaking in my cars with armorall products but hav switched to maguirs only cuz I was told that texas weather is too hot n armorall bakes the dash or something like that and causes cracking. I preferred armorall when I used to drive american cars. The cheaper plastic dashes absorbed it well. But I never really had a streaking problem on foreign or domestic. At least not on my dashes.
What I really didn't care for when I started driving imports is it leaves wayyy to high of a gloss on black parts. So shiny its almost distracting. But never had a streaking problem in domestic or import cars.

I haven't used armorall in 2 years or more. Maybe the formula changed?

i swear by aerospace 303. i have also turned several friends and family members onto this product. i will never use anything other than this on my plastics. they return them to their natural color and shine, just like when it was new. not the overly shiny oily feeling crap you get with armoral type products.

I've been using the 303 in place of Armor All and it leaves less of a greasy surface, really good stuff for the engine bay too.
