Best interior cleaning
Have had my 07 G35 Sedan for a week now and am curious what you all use to keep the interior clean. I just purchased some Meguiars cleaner/conditioner for the leather seats, but what do you guys use for the rest of the interior? I noticed there's detailing spray which is supposedly good for all the interior parts, anyone use this stuff yet (Meguiars and others make them)? Or just armor-all type stuff on the dash, doors, etc?

i use the Optimum line --- The No-Rinse Wash is awesome (not for interior) -- so is the spray on wax ... there is a Protectant Plus cleaner that is great for interiors

I'm a little spoiled being that Detailed Image is still like a candy store for me, but this is what I use on my personal vehicles interiors:
That's my arsenal I keep handy for my interior cleaning.

- 303 Fabric Cleaner - diluted to 8:1 for an all purpose vinyl, rubber, carpet, plastic, leather cleaner
- 303 Aerospace Protectant - UV protection for vinyl and rubber surfaces
- 303 High Tech Fabric Guard - typically use every 2 months to help prevent stains on my carpets and floor mats
- Plexus - I use this on my guages, stereo faces, nav screens b/c I like its anti-static properties on plastic
- Leatherique Prestine Clean and Rejuvenator Oil - usually give a treatment of PC once a season and RO my seats at least once a year.
- Stoner's Invisible Glass - great foam based cleaner that's safe on tint... I typically end up using a few microfiber towels and every once in a while, will use the old newspaper trick
- Baking Soda - every so often I'll leave a plate of baking soda in my car overnight to help absorb any odors from food, pets, etc.
- Vac 'n Blow - I think this is a great portable vacuum that is lightweight, easy to maneuver and has attachments that go down to the size of a pencil eraser and has tiny bristles on it. It also doubles up as a blower which makes it easy to clean and blow out those hard to reach areas, pushing the dirt onto the carpets to clean when you vacuum.
- Carpet Brush - an essential tool when cleaning stains on carpet
- Spray bottle of hot water - Hot water can help break up stubborn stains, especially on carpets. A carpet cleaner, spray bottle of hot water, firm bristle brush and a wet / dry vacuum is a cheaper alternative to a professional carpet extractor.
- A dozen or so Microfiber Towels
- Beverage of choice
That's my arsenal I keep handy for my interior cleaning.

I am a Meguiar's fan but don't like their leather care products at all. For leather care I use Lexol or more recently the Zaino leather care products simply because of their smell.
For the rest of the interior I use Meguiar's NXT Tech Protectant (or whatever it is called). 303 Aerospace protectant is another good one that I like.

I use diluted 10:1 woolite and warm water mixed in a 2 gallon bucket for most of the interior with a few microfibers and an interior brush, and either diluted woolite in a bottle or 303 spot cleaner on the carpets or stubborn spots on the interior. The key for carpets is to rub out the excess liquid with a clean towel to remove as mush excess cleaner as possible

Interior.......even on a sedan!
What ever you do, don't use Armor All inside your vehicle! It will eventually
end up on the inside of your windows as a haze......ugly! I use Zymol cleaner
and then their conditioner on the leather seats/doors/dash. I don't allow
anyone to eat in my cars (ever) so I don't have any other issues with keeping
my interior clean.
