Need some information - trying to look for an interior cleaner for my BMW '11 X3. Here are a few pics of the interior of how my car looks:

Garry Dean just did a video showing Ultimate Shampoo Gel in action that I thought was respectable ... Personally I use Megs ApC with a soft bristled brush and it foams nicely and has optical brighteners

These pics aren't my car, but it's just to provide a visual of the interior. My car is kept up in pretty good condition, but I do want to get an interior cleaner of some kind, as I'll be taking a few long trips and it will get dirty once I get back home.

I would suggest Optimin Power Clean. It works great and is gentle to every surface. It also has many other uses besides just interiors.

Thanks for the compliment.

I would definately go for the Ultima Interior Shampoo Gel. It works very well and smells great.

Maybe I need to be more specific - something for the door panels, radio panels, etc :)

Interior is interior... USG is awesome! Thats my recommendation.

I now primarily use OPC to clean the interior of my BMWs. I prefer it to Megs APC+.
I think the CG product is too strong. For my leather seats, I mainly use Leatherique products.

I have not used USG but most of the Ultima products seem to work very well.

Ok, overall, I like Optimum products but I use Optimum, Megs, Ultima, Wolfgang, Pinnacle, DP, Zymol, CG and a bunch more.

I have not settled on an interior dressing but I like OG Do-it-all+, AP 303 and I have a sample of 1Z premium cockpit to try on the two bimmers. If you like a banana smell, the DP dressing is ok. Mother's is pretty good and I'm so so on Optimum Protection Plus for some reason.

Let us know what you think. Did you get the Four Star Ultimate that AG sells or did you get the Pro version that I use?

If the car is new , you should be able to use 1z Cockpit premium to maintain it. Or Megs quick interior detailer.

To deep clean areas I too would suggest Ultima Interior shampoo gel.

btw, lastweek I tried out this kit

BLACKFIRE Interior Kit, interior detailing kit (http://www.autogeek.net/blackfire-interior-kit.html)

And its simply amazing and SOOO easy to use. Great results.

The interior cleaner is very similar to the Ultima but a LOT cheaper, and the interior protectant is amazing and noticeably hydrates the interior and cures with the polycharger additive. No gloss at all. Just hydrates and protects.

I did not use the Leather conditioner in the kit as I felt the Interior Protectant did a great job on conditioning my leather seats.

I HIGHLY suggest this combo.

This one? Meguiars Quik Interior Detailer is a pump spray detailer for all car interior rubber, plastic and vinyl surfaces. (http://www.autogeek.net/mg13616.html)

It says safe on leather, so I guess I can use it on my door panels which have a bit of leather on them too...
