Interior cleaning

[buddyh42]

What is best to clean a grey plastic interior trim, also clean grey velour seats etc. This is an awesome place so glad I found it, love looking at all your cool detailing jobs, it is taking me ages as every day it seems to have rained but today was nice so managed to get started again, it will take me a while anyway as i am disabled and can only do a small bit at a time, but i am determined to get results like you all have.
Thanks in advance

Re: Interior cleaning

How dirty is the interior trim? If it's not too dirty, you could clean with Quick Interior Detailer followed by a dressing like Natural Shine or Supreme Shine depending on the gloss you like on interiors. If it's really dirty, you could hit it with some All Purpose Cleaner and a brush followed by either of the above dressings or even Ultimate Protectant. If using Ultimate Protectant, an All Purpose Cleaner must be used to achieve best results as this water based dressing will bond to the surface.

For the seats, an All Purpose Cleaner and a cotton towel or a brush should work just fine.

The interior is not very dirty, but it is a 1999 car and dont think it has been cleaned properly very much, so was planning a deep clean to get on top of it then just maintain it.

Meguiars APC is definatley great for stronger general cleaning. Not sure if you will find it there or not.

I have had bad luck with Simple Green. So maybe check a European board if needed for all purpose cleaner thoughts.

And yeah, QID for mild cleaning (not on cloth) and then any dressing you wanted.
