Default What do you use to clean interior ?

My plastic and vinyl interior parts are black, and they have like a whitish haze on them. What can I use to get this haze off before I Armorall them?? :confused:

This is what I use on my interior. My seats, etc. are beige so I do not have a white haze but these products work fine. The reason I am replying is to express my preference for conditioners containg lanolin. I find others tend to dry out very quickly. And I do worry about long-term cracking of the vinyl/leather. BTW, the bottle says for leather but it works on vinyl as well.

Looks Great. But I need to get that white haze off before I can get the conditioners applied. Has anyone else had this problem? I would rather clen them up and condition them rather than paint them. But if you have had experiences with this haze let me know. :flag

You've stumped me. If the white haze is a result of previous use of ArmorAll then the only compatible clean-up product I can think of is shown below.

Whenever I get a new/used car with a trashed interior I use a liberal scubbing with Fantastic or that other 401 stuff. both stink but do wonders with a little elbow grease. Then I will use the Formula 2001 the lime green bottle. Its not as sticky as Armor All and doesnt attract quite the amount of dust armor all does.

Little Green Clean Machine, Armor All, some Windex, and a little Rain-X.

For the white film that you are talking about, you may want to try some Simple Green or Orange Clean. They are both cure all cleaners.
