What do y'all use to clean y'alls dashes and door panels?

 

Meguiar's quick interior detailer, both the spray and the pre-moistened wipes. I keep the wipes in my center console for any touch ups.

 

Simple green at a 10:1 mix. Followed by some formula 303

 

Formula 303 aerospace protectant is supposidly the *****...

I use it on my boat...can it be used on leather too?

 

Quik Detailer Interior -- I'm not a fan of a greasy looking surface in the interior. I do not, however, like the QDI wipes...

QDI leaves a nice matte finish and offers sun protection.

 

Thats why I like the 303 RP...it doesnt leave a glossy finish at all...it just brightens the vynal up!

 

303, for me, is still a bit too shiny. I agree and concur that it's on the low end of glossy but, I still prefer matte on the interior. *shrugs*... personal preference.

 

I just used the 303 aerospace on all 3 of my trucks and car this weekend and love it.

 

thanks for all the input

 

To _clean_ and to _protect_ might be two different answers to some. In my case, I just use a protectant and it keeps the interior pretty clean. I used 303 Aerospace Protectant for a few years and have recently switched over to Lexol. It cost about the same and is easier to find. Personally, I like a little shine to my interior, however it does not leave a grease residue (it's also water based). I lightly spray it on and rub it in my hand. A few moments later I lightly wipe up the excess.

I'd not recommend using these products on _real_ leather. Use special leather cleaner and protectors for this. Again, I use Lexol brands here as well.

 

I'm a fan of Natural shine. It's great because it is easily variable between high gloss and matte, so on your exterior trim, you can do high gloss (for those of my customers who like it) and on the dash you can get a matte effect with the same sun protection as QDI. That said, I have never used QDI, but I'll buy it when I run out of Natural shine.

Another thing I like about it is that it cleans and protects in one easy step. The downside to it, though, is that it can be pretty greasy IMO. RP--your thoughts on this stuff???

 

I figured you shouldnt use it on leather but is just so damn good...I will use some of the meguiars leather conditioner and cleaner...
