I just bought my G about 2 weeks ago and theres some areas that need cleaned. My interior is tan and I wanted to know what most of you guys use that will clean tan interior good without damaging it.

Thanks,
John

 

I'd like to know as well, I've searched but it sounds like most of the stuff out there is for keeping up the leather, I believe me and Sir Boost, need extreme cleaning

 

what i do is mix up a gallon or 2 of 8:1 woolite:hot water and throw a coupe MF towels in there. Wring them until they are damp and give everything a good wipedown. This works for all the plastic/vinyl/leather in the car. For extremely dirty interiors, use an interior brush to scrub in the woolite mixture. 303 carpet/spot cleaner also works very well. As for the carpets, a good vacuuming followed by a soaking with the woolite mixture in a spray bottle, followed by scrubbing with a terry cloth is what I do. Then some plain water, and more scrubbing to remove excess residue. Get the carpet as dry as possible. Sometimes, if the carpet is bad enough, only a steam extractor will work and you'll have to consult a professional detailer.

 

This is probably a dumb question but what is woolite and can it be purchased at autozone or Kragen

 

Cool' I will try this at home

 

woolite it something for the laundry, you can buy it pretty much anywhere they have laundry stuff

 

woolite is a very mild laundry detergent that doesn't leave as much residue compared to other products. Some other good premixed ones to use are Folex for pets, 303 as mentioned before, meg's interior cleaner, etc

 

I use griots car care products, it does wonders for the leather and the whole car

 

yea... im debating still if i should just go to groits, it's just down the street from my job, i wonder how much they would charge for full detail in and out

 

Find out how much they charge and I'll give you a quote that is significantly less. I do this as a hobby so I don't try to make much on it. But I would expect $100-150 interior, and $100-200 exterior depending on the steps they do

 

cool... warning my car is busted

 

haha, I remember

 

I can't believe I'm admitting this, but I use QuickNBrite for my interior cleaning. I bought a tub of this stuff years ago, and I still have alot left.

it works on all surfaces, even the leather & glass. On Glass it helps prevent fogging......its non toxic, biodegradeable, and I'm telling you the $hit is amazing...I don't know how much it cost these days...but I swear by the stuff..


I then go over the entire interior with Z1 products....

Their Cockpit detailer
Their UV protectant
Their Leather conditioner...

I am a fanatic with keeping my interior spotless, so if your interested check out their website

Here is a couple of shots of my interior I took less than a month ago. 3 1/2years old with 39,000 miles....

 

My company has a yearly event with griots, maybe even more thne once, and they bring all their products down with them, and leave all these extra products. So we have a lot of them at the warehouse, if you will come pick it up, I will gladly give some to you, where are you located? its very easy to do on your own.

 

Looks like a pretty good mild APC, but pretty much any APC or mild detergent will do. The key for a light interior is to maintain it regularly like you have, and then product choice doesn't be come much of a factor. Warm water and a few MF could do that job if you are cleaning often enough
