Cleaning the Interior
I bought the Mercedes interior car cleaning kit and have some questions on how to use it. The window cleaner seems to work well except for it's really streaky. I use the sponge it comes with and then give it a good wipe down with a dry cloth. As far as the trim and the rest of the interior surfaces, do you spray the cabin care all over everything and wipe down, or just spray the cloth and wipe? The coupe is not very spacious and the angled windows make it very tough for a 6 ft guy to maneuver.

All sorts of cars
JohnnyUte - here are some tips as a detailer:
Cleaning Windows:
What you need:
1. Bucket of hot water (don't burn yourself, but make it hot as you can handle)
2. Get a Vileda cloth (not sure what you have in US but it's a chamois design for windows)
3. Get a lint free microfibre cloth
Process:
1. Dip the Vileda cloth in the hot water, make sure it soaks up nicely then wring out excess water and use this to wet wipe the windows (inside and out).
2. Use the microfibre cloth (folded over a couple of times) and wipe over the windows again to remove any streaking.
You will have crystal clear windows every time.
Cleaning Interior trims:
What you need:
1. Very warm water and 2 lint free cloths.
Process:
1. Use one cloth to dip into very warm water and wipe over interior parts.
2. Use the 2nd cloth (dry) to wipe over again.
You don't need all these fancy products.
Hope this helps!
