What is the best product for cleaning a Vinyal intertior? ( no shine, just clean)

What is the best wax/sealant in terms of looks on a white car? (looks more important than lasting.)

Thanks for any help you can give.

Harv.

Interior

1Z Einszett Cockpit Premium Interior Plastic Cleaner is one of the nicest I've used but Meguiar's All purpose Cleaner works pretty well too.

Wax

Collinite 845 is one of those best kept secrets in waxes.

I think Collinite 845 would be better for someone who wants a longer lasting wax. hmm..

if you got $ to spend, this has been my choice for customers that have white paint and want show car results. I love this stuff
Pinnacle Signature Series II Carnauba Paste Wax will give you a deep, wet finish will exceed your expectations. car wax, carnauba paste wax, pinnacle (http://www.autogeek.net/pisisepawax.html)

if your looking to spend under $20, this is my 2nd suggestion.
Meguiars #26 Hi-Tech Liquid Wax is a polymer liquid car wax that offers excellent paint protection and shine! Meguiars #26 High Tech Liquid Wax is (http://www.autogeek.net/meg26hityelw.html)
i used this on a white scion last week and it looked amazing.

so IMO, if looks is what you want, go with a synthetic wax or nuba wax instead of a sealant.

I would think MaxWax might be in the middle of those two waxes :)

There are many waxes out there that look great on the color white. Collinite 845 is only one of them and for the price I think Harv will be pretty pleased.

So happen I used 845 in November. It looks OK and still beads. However, not enough pop, that is why I asked. Will simple green clean up the interior of the car. The seats are tan colored MB tex?

Thanks for the quick responses.
Appreciate it.

I wouldn't use Simply green dude...that stuff is really really harsh.

I never used 1Z Einszett Cockpit Premium Interior Plastic Cleaner , dashboard cleaner, cockpit cleaner, 1Z einsett, einzett (http://www.autogeek.net/1z-einzett-cockpit-premium.html) but Meg's APC Plus has been very good to me on all matters of problems.

What about diluting it 5 to 1? Still too strong?

Thanks

see you asked about cleaning just Vinyl... so now my suggestion is forget about simple green for your seats. Buy some Megs All Purpose Cleaner. i think its on sale. you can do just about everything with that stuff(vinyl, plastic, all types of seats, carpet, mats and even rubber). get the proportioner to dilute according to what job your doing. best bet

Hmm I'm sorry, it looks like Simple Green has expanded from the last time I purchased it/was aware of it.

I have their Automotive line cleaner and its actually a degreaser that's not paint friendly. If you're talking about their house hold APC I haven't used it but on the bottle it says its concentrated (actually all of their bottles says its concentrated) so I would play with the solutions.

4:1 is suggested by Meg APC and even Optimum PC suggests a 3:1 mix. I would play around a bit, but if you're looking for streanth I'm sure the 4:1 or your 5:1 would be fine.
