What are you guys using on your interiors when you clean it? Dash, seats, doors etc?

On the leather & plastics, Adam’s Total Interior Detailer. It’s for light cleaning/dusting. Nice because it leaves a factory matte finish & nice smell. I buy it by the gallon & refill 16 oz spray bottle, as needed. More economical.

For heavier cleaning, Adam’s also makes a Total Interior Cleaner. It works OK, but I always follow with the detailer to restore the matte finish. This is great for steering wheel maintenance.

For carpets, nothing beats Adam’s Carpet & Upholstry Cleaner. It leaves no soapy residue & carpets maintain their factory look. Picks up the dirt like crazy!

I bought some Adam’s Suede Cleaner for the sueded surfaces, but haven’t tried it yet.
 
Zaino Z9 & Z10 for leather seats. Smells great and keeps the leather soft.

Are you, by chance, a fan of Adam's products?
 
Autogeek.com

Every detailing brand makes these products and they all are pretty much the same.

Some of their stuff is the best I’ve used (carpet/upholstery cleaner, interior detailer, graphine advanced spray, eco ap cleaner, tire/rubber cleaner). Some is just average.

They have an outlet store local to me, so easy to stop in & pick up a few gallons of stuff. Economical when purchased in bulk. Full refund if I don’t like something.

Yep no criticism here. I actually used to beta test some of their prototype stuff. You can't go wrong with them, and their lineup is really foolproof. Can just get pricey for some items compared to competitors.
 
Can you buy gallons on their website?

Thats the front of my detailing cart, it's a bit disheveled after I detailed and claybar'd the wife's car earlier today.

I like Graphene on metal and wood

Shine armor, chemical guys total interior, and ArmorAll interior for dash, steering wheel, anything vinyl or plastic my kids will touch and most importantly, a good set of stiff brushes to clean out grime and rub the product in.

Meguiar's Black for all things black plastics usually works fine, but I have a few other specialty stuff that I like better but costs significantly more.

For suede I have an upholstery cleaner, and for leather I like anything made for boots or Leather Honey 2 part kits which I apply with horsehair brushes for great clean and protection. It takes some elbow grease but fantastic leather protection.

Found this stuff last year and I love it. Doesn’t have much of a smell but it foams up really good when agitated with a detailing brush and lifts first out of cracks really good. For the leather seats I love the smell of Chemical Guys Leather Conditioner.

Chemical guys nonsense followed with a light layer of interior cleaner.
 
Just an FYI…the “leather” in our trucks is actually coated in a vinyl-like paint. Yes, it may be cow skin underneath, but you should care for it just like delicate vinyl seats. If you get aggressive with brushes or other abrasive tools, you will ruin the coating & it becomes more work to clean.

Most leathers are coated regardless of manufacture. I have Nappa Leather on my Recaros in my MX-5 and they wear on the bolster just getting in and out and Im super careful.
