Hey Guys...

I'm meticulous on the exterior, but not a freak about the interior. Is there a catch-all product that is safe to wipe down all surfaces?

Thanks

 

Yes there is, you can use 303 Cleaner and Spot Remover 32oz for only $7.99 on vinyl, fabrics, plastic, carpets, etc. You can use it on leather but it has no conditioners in it and I would recommend applying a lot to leather, I just spot treat leather with it. For a better value get the 303 Fabric Cleaner 32oz for $14.99 (same exact forumla) and just dilute it to about a 6:1 - 10:1 ratio and it still works great. So for $14.99 you can get 320 ounces of cleaning solution. I dilute mine to about 8:1 and its still super powerful and gets the job done no problem. You can use it at full strength and its safe but it wastes the product.

If you want a good leather cleaner with conditioners I always recommend the leatherique prestine clean. Best cleaner w/conditioners I've ever used in my professional detailing experience.

Let us know if you have more questions.

 

Thanks for the quick reply....I appreciate it. Is the 303 available at local retailers?...autozone, etc., or will I need to get it online?

 

Its prmiarily availble online, I've heard of a few local stores carring it but none around me.

 

Yeah, I heard that 303 works well for interior.

 

303 is typically very good, but not readily available locally, if that's what you'd prefer.

For a decent local option, I'd recommend Meguiar's Quik Interior Detailer, which can be found at Autozone, etc...

Works pretty well, and leaves a bit of gloss and protection to the surfaces.

+1 for Meguairs Quick Interior Detailer....I love the stuff.

If you want a dressing for the interior, the somewhat matte shine left by the 303 is wonderful.

+1 for 303 and Leatherique. Both are the best at what they do.

Lexol makes a good product for plastic/vinyl, and their leather car products are good as well (and are available at local stores).

 

Thanks everyone...the 303 is on the way!

 

The 303 is perfect. I got the concetrate and diluted to ~25:1 for the interior.

I hit a couple stains on my driver's mat with full strength...like new in 30 secs. I was impressed and wandered through my house looking for anything else to try it on. I have a couch cushion that hasn't seen the light of day in over a year (one side anyway). Well, it's a proud cushion once more.

Also, when the 303 arrived, I discoverd that the cap wasn't securely tightened and about a 3rd of the product spilled into the packaging. Sigh...shiny styrofoam peanuts. Anyway, I emailed the 303 store. Didn't wish to return it, but letting them know. The owner emailed me back, almost immediately, and offered a partial credit on my account.

Thanks again for recommending the 303.

Side note...

I also picked up Eiman Fabrik Black Sapphire Tire Gel. Pretty good stuff, fairly long lasting. Not too shiny. Had a little sling, but only after a rain & I think I was a little too liberal with my first couple applications.

 

Glad to hear the 303 worked out.
I will bring you some of my favorite interior stuff next time I am down slumming it your way.

I keep a Swiffer duster in my door pocket. Detailing at stoplights pwns me.

 

so does the 303 work on the dash plastic? cuz there is some overspray from the dealer and don't want to go back just beacuse of that...

 

303 Cleaner and Spot Remover and the concentrated versions (303 Fabric Cleaner). They clean plastic very well but Plexus is the premier plastic cleaner in my opinion. It leaves streak free shines everytime, polishes and protects with anti-static properties that actually help repel dust.
