that looks and sounds great and all but i have Armor All just laying around here and wondered if it was ok to use on my plastic.

exdes

some people just don't like armor all because it tends to be greasy.

Meguires has this interior mist, that works wonders. No goofy shiny finish, just the brand new look.

+1 on using 303. And as anyone would tell you, never use Armorall

For cleaning I use DP Total Interior Cleaner http://www.autogeek.net/dp340.html

And then once a month use the 303 for UV protection.

DP is a full matte finish and 303 is semi-matte.

I've used this combo on my P-car for years, too.

So do you guys use the 303 on the leather also? What do you use on the glass?

Just getting back into cleaning myself so initially went w/ the Armorall wipes (leather wipes, cleaning wipes). Found them convenient and neither left any gloss finish -- not like those Armorall original sprays (in fact the cleaning wipes even say "leaves matte finish").

Having said that, the stuff mentioned above sounds tried and true, so will likely switch when I run out of the wipes.

I use a microfiber towel and Invisible Glass. Seems to work and doesn't give the interior the cheesy fake shine. For leather I use Lexol. Also doesn't give a fake shine. The whole point is to make your car look new, and it was never shiny when new.

I'm a fan of Einszett Cockpit Premium. It's a rather mild cleaner, that offers UV protection AND dries with no sheen or shine. Makes the plastic part look as if there is nothing on it at all.

1Z Einszett Cockpit Premium Interior Plastic Cleaner

cover the plastic bits in leather and then use z10.

Big fan of Z10. Gives the car a nice smell as well.

i'm sorry, why would i cover the plastic with leather?

Quadcammer

it was a joke, and because leather looks nicer than plastic.

dmyrick

sorry it went right over my head

I like 1Z products also. Cockpit is good stuff. But Cockpit does not give as much UV protection. That's why I'd also use 303 once a month or so on the parts that get hit by intense sun.

DP (see my above post) or Einszett for cleaning are good choices for no shine, no grease. Cockpit has an odd citrus/ammonia smell, and DP has a mild banana smell (which I prefer.)

For cleaning leather, use Z9 often: http://www.zainostore.com/Merchant2/...oduct_Count=15

Once every few months or so, use the Z10 for treatment (as already mentioned here.)

And for glass, Stoner's Invisible (as already mentioned) http://www.invisibleglass.com/ but with a big cobra waffle style microfiber cloth.
