Has anybody used this product for the interior of the car?
If so what is the dilute ratio that works well for the interior?
Also looking for a good carpet shampoo, any suggestions?
I have fabric around the arm rests that need cleaning.
What is the best way of cleaning these areas?
Have a good weekend everyone!

I have not used HD for interiors,but I use it 4:1 for wheel wells and engine compartments and sometimes tires.As far as carpets go I use folex it can found at Lowes or Home depot.

I've used it on interiors, cut to 4:1. Leaves a nice finish, nothing that would cause glare to the driver. Non oily. Good stuff.

I love HD, use it on tires/engines and interiors. For interior I do 3:1...its still not super shiny but gives a nice satin look which i like for interiors.
Folex is good stuff...also I like to use Megs APC or APC+ diluted about 5:1.
All 3 can be used on carpets or fabric seats/arm rests.
Best way to clean those areas depends on your tools...do you have a shampooer? If not do you have a shop vac? If you do then spray folex or APC onto the area (after vacuuming that area first)...let it set for a minute and then use a brush to scrub it. I keep a clean bucket of water to rinse my brush out in so that way i dont end up scrubbing the dirt on the brush back into what i WANT to clean. Then vacuum it up if you have a shop vac or extract if you have a shampooer.
If you DONT have those machines...then used a MF towel or a terry towel to sort of blot the area dry as best as you can. Hope that helps...good luck!

If you buy Folex get it in the Gallon..much better value.

When using Folex don't scrub with a brush. Put on some nitrile gloves and scratch the surface with your finger or blot with a towel.

HD doesn't have UV protection, does it?

The label says to blot the area. I've done both and I didn't see any ill effects with either.

Meguiar's Hyper Dressing does contain some UV protection, but not as much as say Meguiar's #40 Vynl Dressing.

Guess I should read the lables more often. Been scrubing with a brush for years with no problems.

Sorry man, just following the directions on the label. I haven't been using Folex as long as you so I'm certain you have better ways of using it than I do. I've always used carpet foams from auto parts stores, Walmart, and Car Brite. Now I use Folex and Krud Kutter the most.
