what do i use to clean my dashboard and my fleather

TommyK · 09-18-2008, 03:28 AM

you can use basicly anything. lightly diluted soapy water, carpet cleaner lol, leather cleaner works the best if you are afraid of ruining the surface, i use connoly leather care or general interior cleaning products for leatheret

Swissvax leather cleaner for the high end.. for the mid -high end use 1z cockpit premium. it is significantly cheaper and if it's just dust and ash or whatever it's great. it doesn't leave any residue behind.. if you listen to tommyk using soapy water will hurt your interiors finish.. the soap will be left behind and leave a nasty white film etching itself into the leather or other material in the car.

the 1z cockpit premium is the one you want.. you can literally spray it on anything in the car and many many many car enthusiasts and detail experts use this product.

good luck!!

bump on this, I have a Coral Red interior, and am afraid that it may ruin the leather, am I just being paranoid? can others with CR interior chime in?

a good interior CLEANER (not detailer) is the chemical guys leather/vinyl cleaner. It works excellent.

cleaner removes like liquid/dirt/marks from the seats, where as detailer does what?

LEXOL for the leather. Nothing beats it. It cleans dried up milkshakes the kids spilt like it was a water spot and leaves the seats (and your hands) really soft.

You won't find it at pep-boys or mall-wart or the stealership. Many interior/car upolstery speacialty shops will sell it, but I buy it from the equestrian (horse) store. Western/cowboy places are cheaper than english.

poorboys leatherstuff for the leather, 303 aerospace protectant for the dash. actually 303 is a pretty versatile product. check out reviews for both at detailedimage.com

By fleather, I assume you have leatherette?

+1 to 303 Aerospace for the dash, and the leatherette too. If you have leather, use Zaino Z9 and Z10

Agreed - I think the OP has leatherette. 303 should work nicely on it, and you can use it for your entire interior pretty much.
