Default Interior care

I have a 2012 Grand Sport. What is the best thing for cleaning the dash, door panels, etc.? I know some people put some kind of coating on the interior after cleaning as well. Is that a good idea, and if so, what is best to use?

My only suggestion is to not use different cleaners-I use Meguiars interior detailer every time but find one you like and stick with it.

Whatever you do don’t glaze or damage your interior materials, you’ll more than likely get a lot of good replies.

I use 303 on everything but the seats and use Mothers on them.

I clean just about everything with a mix of warm water and APC (about a 2:1 ratio). Once dry, I use Meguiars interior detailer to blacken and protect.

If you have a Alcantara micro suede interior then Sonax makes a great foam cleaner.

Aerospace 303 is my favorite.

DO NOT use ArmorAll or anything that contains petroleum distillates. It's bad for the dash and attracts tons of dust.
