Could anyone tell what is the best for cleaning the interior of my Lightning? I just picked her up last week, brand new black 03'. I just want to keep the inside as clean as the outside. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
By the way, this is a big improvement over my 00' Harley. (No bashing intended)

 

I use Armor-all. I tried those wet wipes and they suck. They leave a bunch of lint all over.

 

Well, I think one of the first things you need to know is that the gray part of your seats is NOT Suede leather. Actually, it is a CLOTH named "Alcantara". Go here and look under Maintenance to learn how to care for and clean the gray cloth...

Also depending on your life style, etc. you might look into Wet Okole Neoprene Seat Covers which are absolutely fantastic. They look and fit great on an L. Lots of protection and easy to clean also. http://www.wetokole.com
Now as far as dusting the interior I find a small "California Duster" does a great job. They can be found at WalMart, etc.
I also recommend NEVER, NEVER use a product like Armorall on your vinyl interior. If you must use (why not just wipe with a damp cloth) something only use a product called "303 Protectorant" Another bigge is never dry wipe the plastic over the speedo/tachometer or the plastic on the radio as over time you will see lots of scratchs....

 

So you picked up a brand new 03 and you already need to clean the interior.

If your just referring to keeping it clean. Just don't get it dirty. Just keep the inside vacuumed and windows clean and your all set.

IMO.........I hate using Armor All or any sort of dash cleaner. It makes everything greasy and it acts as a dust/dirt/lint magnet.

I just use the wipes and when I'm done with it i keep it in one of the under pocket sonatiner things on the door and wipe of the dust ocasionally.

 

for spills and stains, use "blue coral" brand "dry clean". you can get it at your local walmart..

since your truck is brand new, go buy a couple cans of scotch-guard from walmart and spray the carpet, mats, and the cloth part of the seats.

i use Zaino brand Z-16™ Perfect Tire Gloss on my interior. dash, door panels, vinyl, ect.. i love it!! i like all the zaino products!

Thanks for the replies everyone! I applied some scotchguard and looking into the Wet Okoles. I agree they're great, I have them on my 00' F-150 4x4. I just didn't know if I wanted to cover up those great lookin' seats...Thanks again

 

I have had many people check out my L since the Okole seat cover install. EVERYONE thinks the Okoles are stock seat material and not covers. They fit so perfect and so tight.. People also really like the LIGHTNING logo I have on each seat. Geeeeeez, I like the Okoles also!

 

folks for interior vinyl trim. Not greasy or filmy at all. Also use on fabric part of Roll 'n Lock tonneau, holds up very well. If you don't go with Wet Okoles, recommend both Lexol Cleaner & Conditioner for leather,but obviously not for Alcantara (fake suede) BTW, you can no longer buy Alcantara fabric by itself anymore! Had cigar burns on driver's lower cover and trim shop couldn't buy any to repair it. Had to buy bottom seat cover ($272). That might be close to cost of Wet Okole set?

 

Complete set of Wet Okole seat covers to include console cover
was $282.00 delivered to NY. A 10% discount is given to those in the Military that can fax them proof of Military status.

 

include 10% military or not? What is your source at that price? I'm thinking of getting a dog, not to mention cigars seems to mandate this choice. Thanks for a response.

 

I'm getting Sparcos and Recaros. Then I'll keep my stock seats in a vacuum case....
