diggerdan11 Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 I was just wondering what everyone was using to detail there interior and make it all nice and shiny. I tried Maguires quick interior detailer and i was not impressed at all. I have used lemon pledge and it seems to give it a good shine and i know it can protect it. My dad's 69 chevelle still has the original dash and some other original interior and he use to soak that thing in lemon pledge ever sine he got it brand new the day he tured 16. So what do you guys think is the best? Also what do you guys use to clean the leather seats? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. P. Lemom Pledge is old school detailing. Try Zaino or Adams polishes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasmien2008 Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Use meguiars quick interior with microfiber wipe down then use Adams V.R.T it gives you a nice Matt finish that last you about a month or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitemax Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 I like the meguires quick interior spray keeps it looking like a new a truck. Im not a fan of the high gloss look on the interior though and most of them have funky smells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooter3 Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Meguires Last Touch detail for almost everything applied with a good quality microfiber cloth. Glass, paint and interior. Will not haze the inside of the windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbarnes Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 try using "trim care" you can get it at any auto store. we use it at the shop to get compound of of the exterior trim pieces. so i gave it a shot on my interior man it worked great. it leaves a shine which i dont like so after wiping down with the trim care i come back again with a dry cloth and wipe it down again to dull down the shine. also works great for getting wax off of the mirrors and cowl. also on my old jeep that i two toned, my interior was very dirty and i wanted to freshen up so here what i did. first use greased lightning it leaves a residue so i used purple power to get it off then trim care. it made my interior look almost new, i mean a huge improvement. using the purple power without the greased lightning didnt clean as well. anyway worked great for me.

Dylan06SS Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Most important thing to consider when choosing an interior dressing/protectant is if its water based. Anything that uses silicone or alcohol will actually do more harm than good. My personal favorite for plastic/vinyl/etc. is Adams VRT... the stuff just leave a nice clean semi-gloss finish w/ zero greasy residue and its water based. For over the counter products theres always Black Magics interior protectant... it is water based and includes plasticizers (the chemicals that keep plastics flexible during manufacturing) It leaves a more greasy finish IMO, but it does offer great protection. For the nooks and crannies that you can't reach with an applicator I use Adams In & Out Spray... essentially an aerosol version of their VRT. Great for getting inside your AC vents and places like that. VRT on the TBSS... note the nice even matte finish: For leather I use Adams leather conditioner, but to be honest theres not much difference in leather products. Also consider that the leather in these trucks is coated from the factory with a clear protective layer the leather product never even reaches the leather... I use leather conditioners more for the smell than the result. To clean HEAVILY soiled leather a mixture of water and woolite in a spray bottle does the trick and is 100% safe... just follow up with conditioner to return the glow/shine. Thats the combo I used on Chases Camaro and the results speak for themselves. Test Spot: Finished Product: Carpets I use a Bissel LGM hot water extractor for heavy stains, for light cleanup and pretreating you can use Folex or Blue Magic Carpet Spray.

Stitches040 Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 I Love my Swiffer Duster, I use it all the time. The wife thinks I'm a little anal because of my Swiffer Obsesion .... along with that, I use ZEP Glass Cleaner (blue can, yellow top) on all the dash and plastic, along with the glass. That is all I use, no slimmy residue left behind .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolBlueSS Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 The Woolite/water trick the Dylan suggested works great. Did that on my wife's Tahoe, followed up with Lexol conditioner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
