Default Keeping WHITE interior clean

What do you guys (gals) who have white interior (seats, door panels) use to keep it clean?

(sorry if this is posted in the wrong forum)

Ziona has some leather cleaner and leather conditioner that we use. Works well. It is not as difficult to keep white interior clean as some people would think. We did put some Wet Okole covers on the seats though to protect them from wear.

Finally gave up on the white interior on my 65 vert (this was in 1968) and spray painted with vinyl dye! Turned out good but I shudder now to think of doing that to an original classic! :crazy:

Armoral leather wipes work great to keep it clean.

Its been about a year since I bothered with that. My passengers side seat looks great. Drivers side looks a little used. Theres not much you can do. I think I just used some standard interior cleaner then used something to treat leather after I cleaned.

I don't think that's such a great idea. SG is VERY basic, might damage the leather after some time.

I use the Lexol brand leather treatment products. The cleaner works great and the conditioner is OK. :cheers:

:nono: On leather?? Only use simple green if you want cracked leather.

If you do it often enough...a soapy rag does the trick.

Otherwise Zaino, Meguiars, Lex, all have great leather cleaners...just follow up ANY cleaning with a conditioner!!!! An not a combo product...1 for clean the other for condition!

For carpet, buy yourself a steam cleaner (small ones from B&D are around $30) and they will get the carpet looking new in a few seconds.
