Your go to interior cleaner b4 protectant ?

[RoyalOud83]

Looking for advice on a product(s) to use cleaning ( degreasing?) on the vinyl interior pieces on my 13’ Avalons ( black ) interior.


Years ago I used to use a diluted “Simple Green” mixture on the interior of my 300zx before applying a protectant.


What do you guys use?
Is “Simple Green” still a go to?
Is it safe?
Is there anything better?


Thank you.

Been using the new 303 interior cleaner, very impressive! Has a nice, fresh scent and cleans very well[emoji106][emoji106]

I have been using a non-Autogeek Interior Detailer for a long time now but also just ordered some of the 303 to see what it's like. The McKees 37 Total Interior Cleaner is pretty good, too.

Not a cleaner but more of a detailer. I like the McKees 37. Fast Interior Detailer.

Optimum Power Clean at various dilutions.

I really like the Ultima Interior Schampoo Gel. Even if it's a little on the expensive side. The hughe benefit for me is that it's totaly safe to just wipe it off with a dry mf towel. So no need to be wipe off with a damp or wet mf towel as it's useally needed to be done. Then it has a really great cleaning ability and also suits all of the different interior parts to clean with it. Have not tried the newer version with the Antibacterial Active Defense in it.

Follow that up with the Ultima Interior Guard Plus and you have the interior protected too. Also versitale as you can apply it on the leather and carpet and upholstry and vinyl. Not a high gloss product which I like and gives the protected parts a newer look. I have not used it on leather as it's actually an uncommon option in DD here in Sweden. But the reviews from them who have used has been great. And was a little of a hype some years ago here on AGO. A little product goes a long way as with all Ultima products.

If I where to prep for an interior coating. I would follow the manufactures recommendations to clean and prep before application. These coatings seems to be doing a great work to keep the interior to looking great and have a great protection.

GG interior cleaner works great to clean up the interior, but if it's kept up GG interior detailer is a great option for maintenance. personally, i'm not a fan of (dedicated) dressing the interior...

Here’s the difference between applying protectant or dressing [in this case my favorite is BriteMax Interior Dressing]

As car as the pre cleaning to ensure all leather, vinyl, and non clear painted plastics are exceptionally clean, I use Meguiars D181 Leather Cleaner.

Another vote for 303.

Griot's a close 2nd.

These two are Cleaners and Protectants:
(no need for an extra protection product).

I like Griot's Garage Interior Cleaner as a cleaner to be followed up with 303 Aerospace Protectant as a detailer/protectant. I've also used GG Interior Detailer and Adam's Interior Detailer, and between those two I prefer the Adam's. Love the GG Interior CLEANER, though.

Has anyone tried Jax Wax Total Interior? It looks good, and I've heard good things about it.
