Wife and I recently picked up a D3 S8 and want to keep the interior looking pristine.
Leather dash and seats, carbon fiber and aluminum trim.
I condition the seats with leather CPR, but what about the rest of the interior?
Im a big fan of meguire's products.
My main thing is what to use on the brushed aluminum and clear coat carbon fiber trim? Something like a QD?

Meg'S QID.


It is my go to for regular cleaning and maintenance. My understanding is that QID also leaves "some protection" behind.

I like to use Griots interior cleaner to start and follow it up with Meguiars natural shine protectant, and for the trim pieces Meguiars interior QID with a microfiber

I'll vote for Poorboys Natural Look

Cleans great, provides protection and has a fresh pleasant scent.

Meguiars QID makes a great companion product to Natural Look for quick touch-ups too.

Meg's QID...Meg's APC 10:1 if you ever need more "cleaning" action.

I really loved the DP Interior Cleaner and Protectant, but they have halved the bottle size now that it is McKee's which I think has significantly reduced the value.

Carpro inside is the best I've used
House carpets seem harder to rid of stains compared to car interior

With that said
It requires me to use Wolfgangs spot remover with blackfire APC to rid a stain that carpro inside would get by itseslf

Megs QID or Blackfire Interior Cleaner are my "go to's".

Meguiars Quik Interior Detailer (QID). Don't be fooled by its name, it cleans very very well.

I am working on a beat up honda pilot at the moment. The seats got a proper leather cleaner and conditioner but the rest of the car got Megs QID and is spotless.

I tried the DP Total interior cleaner (now Mckees) which I got as a sample and it did not do anything, zilch, nada. A quik (lol) wipe with QID and the spots were gone :D

Whatever APC you prefer using at a very gentle dilution, CarPro Inside does work well on stuff like the dash and what not. Meguiars Interior QD is one of the more popular ones. I personally use Chemical Guys Inner Clean but you can't use it on leather so I just keep a separate leather cleaner for anything leather. Inner Clean does leave behind a UV Protectant, and if you get any stains in your car I find InnerClean will get rid of it with about 10 seconds of a good soak.

I use this stuff pretty much exclusively except for when a stronger APC is needed beforehand. Cleans and protects in one step leaving a matte finish instead of a shiney, oily looking mess. Smells pleasant as well.
