I need an interior cleaner recommendation. I've always used the Meguiar's Ultimate Protectant with the Z and put a coat on in the 6. I don't like how I have to gob it on just to see results, nor the stickiness of it from said gobbing.

ive tried basically all off-the-shelf stuff, and some online only specialty stuff. i like my gear simple.

QD, clay, wax, sealants, window cleaner, interior stuff, waterless wash = griots
polish = meguiar's scratch-x 2.0
polymer spray = prima hydro
interior plastics and seals = prima nero (50/50 mix)
bug remover = wizard's bug release
water beading/windsheild = rain-x and distilled water
tire dressing = meguiar's hot shine (use sparingly)

6" ro = griots
3" ro = griots
detailing cart = griots
buckets with casters = griots
mitts and towels = griots, prima

towel/pad detergent = griots mf cleaner

im sure im missing a few more but my system is very simple.

for interiors though, i use slightly speedshine damp mf detailing towel. like 2 trigger pull mists into the towel and use that to dust off my interior and lenses. works great. i dont use it on the glass though, ofcourse. for glass i use griot's window cleaner and glass mf towels.

then maybe once a season i wipe down the plastics and seals with nero (50/50 water mix)

kenchan · 07-31-2015, 09:31 AM

for leather, i really like griot's leather care spray. just spray into a short threaded mf towel and wipe away. leaves behind a clean matte finish.
a small bottle goes a LONG way.
