Re: your favorite interior product?

I own and use:

303 Aerospace
Einszett Cockpit
Optimum Protectant Plus

I like them all, but to me Optimum is the longest lasting and most versatile, works really well on leather seats and rubber trim internal/external.

Re: your favorite interior product?

Interiors:
All kinds of dust, fumes, smoke and dirt builds up inside of a cars interior, much of it is brought in by the driver and passengers, but traffic fumes and air-borne dirt enters via the vehicles ventilation system.
Every single interior surface is affected. Periodically it needs to be thoroughly cleaned to remove pollutants and preserve the original surfaces, ensuring the vehicles like-new condition. The surfaces involved in this cleaning are; glass, vinyl, leather, plastics, fabric, carpets and various acrylic surfaces.
(See Section 10)

To remove stains the surface tension that bonds them must be released, then the stain encapsulated and held in suspension to be removed. I’m repeatedly asked which product is the best interior cleaner. There is no one-product answer; as the so-called all purpose cleaners (APC) do not remove every stain, different stains require different solvents to remove them.

Before cleaning a stain ascertain the material and try detergent and water before using a specific cleaner. Once fabric is clean apply a fabric protection (303TM High Tech Fabric Guard) Between these cleaners you should be able to remove 99% of stains occurring in a vehicle and around the home; Start with a 10:1 solution and decrease dilution as necessary;
Carpets- 303™ Rug / Upholstery Cleaner & Spot Remover or Folex Instant Carpet Spot Remover
P21S Total Auto
Wash
(its active ingredient is d-limonene (d-limoene based (citrus)) a safe all purpose cleaner (APC)
Woolite® Heavy Traffic Carpet Foam or Hoover Deep Cleansing Carpet/Upholstery Detergent


Fabric seats - 303™ Rug / Upholstery Cleaner & Spot Remover or 303™ Aerospace Cleaner
Duragloss FC (Fabric & Carpet Cleaner, Aerosol Foam) is a blend of surfactants, which encapsulates and gently foams away soil, oil and grease from fabric and carpet surfaces. Spot cleaning can be done without leaving rings on fabric - http//:We Are Car Care -- Car Wax, Car Polish, Auto Detailing Supplies, Car Buffers & Car Accessories Store
Vinyl interior trim cleaning- the interior trim consists of the dash, vents, hard plastic surfaces and vinyl trim. These surfaces all can be cleaned using a damp micro fibre towel and a 5:1 Woolite / distilled water solution and with a water-based, anti-static cleaner Iz einszett Cockpit Premium; even at high temperatures, its thermo-stable action protects the product against break-down or 1Z Cockpit Premium (inc UV protection) as a matte finish dressing. Alternative - Einszett Vinyl-Rubber Care + Protectant 'Tiefenpfleger'
Plastic - For all plastic surfaces (BTI Chemicals Plexus® Plastic Polish & Cleaner) including wood, as they are protected with a urethane clear coat

Leather a 6:1 solution of LM Soft Cleaner and distilled water and Leather Master Protection, as a shield against stains etc

Washable surfaces - Distilled water / Woolite 10:1 or 303 Cleaner & Spot Remover ™

Glass surfaces - Stoner's Invisible Glass and a (Norwex) glass cleaning cloth with a super tight knit.

Headliner - Duragloss 451 Fabric & Carpet Cleaner Aerosol Foam (FC) Is a blend of surfactants, which gently foam away soil, oil and grease from fabric and carpet surfaces. Spot cleaning can be done without leaving rings on fabrics, carpet and velour - http://www.seriousperformance.co.uk/Products,57,toView_248.html.

Wood surfaces – Klasse or Zaino All-In-One (AIO)

Ultra violet (UV) protection - for all interior surfaces- 303™ Aerospace Protectant or Optimum Protectant Plus

Fabric / Carpet Protection – 303™ High Tech Fabric Guard, 3M Scotchgard™ Fabric protector Fluorochemicals (polymer latex) are mostly inert so by applying it to fabric it can be protected from stains and soiling.

Leather Protection – Leather Master’s Protection

I leather in not perforated, you could give a try to Surf City Garage leather conditioner. It's on sale now, awesome deal! $5 for 8 oz, $9 for 16 oz, $15 for 32 oz! if it is, Four Star leather conditioner will be a bit better choice.
Surf City Garage leather conditioner has beeswax, and it might clog up perforation...
Good luck!

Then check them all out Surf City, Four Star, Wolfgang, and Pinnacle! As price goes up, concentration of lanonin goes up, making leather softer...I really like Four Star for it's wonderfull leather scent. Wolfgang and Pinnacle have the same scent too...

I use OPP on my leather, works like a dream. Cost effective to streamline your products if you can. OPP is very versatile.
