Best products for interior detail?

[FixedGear]

I've been driving on a lot of very dusty dirt roads, and the dust has found its way inside the interior, and everything is covered in very fine road dust. What are the best products to clean this? It's a black leather interior. Thanks.

303 Aerospace Protectant is the shit :thumbsup:

Not on leather though :eek:
I know swissvax has some good leather products, probably a cleaner than protectant is what you want, but it is $$$. I have used some autoglym myself and it did an OK job. Probably decent enough for much less money.

Is protectant good for cleaning, or just protecting?

I've used Armor All lots previously, is that ok or crap?

I have their leather kit, the upfront cost is expensive (like $200 I think), but it lasts a long time. I've been using my kit for going on a year now and I still have over half a bottle of the cleaner and lotion. I bought the matte restorer too, because I hate glossed over leather steering wheels. If you have fine leather, especially Napa, it's hard to beat.

Armor all is terrible, it makes leather really moist and glossy/sticky. Makes a nice interior look like cheap pleather. I do use their wipes on my couch though, but it's supposed to be high gloss.

All I've ever heard is that Armourall is pure garbage.

Interesting about 303 not being good on leather. Although I think I have some Poorboys something or other laying around. I really need to detail the truck ahah

Lexol is also very good.

Armor all is dog shit garbage. Do not use it. Even when I get a free bottle with a purchase of something else, I give it away. There is seriously tons of better stuff out there.

A bit of a tip, for cleaning things like the air vents or small nooks and crannies, compressed air and chemicals works great. Thats what I used to do when I was a detailer many years ago.

Check out the thread about leather care in the appearance section of this forum. I wrote up a detailed "how to" of how to maintain leather seats and anything else leather

I like the Autoglym leather cleaner (for most leather that is plastic coated, no conditioning required)

I use Autoglym vinyl/rubber care also. This is more shine than the leather cleaner.

Easily the most versatile and effective tool I've ever used cleaning an interior:

This is what I would recommend, I have had great results with it.
