Hi,
I have a 2014 Toyota Camry and I was wondering what cleaner and if I need to what protectant should I use that will be safe for my dashboard and doors.
Thanks
Gary

It all depends on how dirty your interior is. I've used Poorboy's Natural Look for years now with great results. It has light cleaning ability, leaves a nice matte finish and smells great. Granted my interior never gets that dirty so you may want to go a different route if you need more cleaning power.

I've used Griots Interior Cleaner, DP Interior Cleaner, Megs QID, DP Interior Protectant, Mothers Protectant and 303 Aerospace Protectant. All work well :-) If you clean often, a simple wipe down with a damp-with-water MF towel will work for cleaning.

Currently testing 303 Protectant right now for my personal vehicle; works very well.

Depending on how dirty your interior can get, I will use 1Z Einszett Cockpit Premium for general maintenance. Another words, once a week cleaning. You can use the cleaner on any interior surface such as plastic, interior lenses and radio screens. It doesn't leave any residue, or attract dust, while leaving some protection. The scent is a light lemon scent similar to lemon pledge.

When I have heavy cleaning, on leather, etc., I will use the 1Z Einszett Deep Plastic Cleaner. This is something that I will use when the leather seats need to be heavily cleaned (once every six months).

There's a kit you can try it to see if you like it:

I personally like the Meguiars supreme shine interior protectant and dressing. It allso has a mild cleaner in it and leaves behind scothguard and the smell is amazing. If you dont like super shiney you could go with their natural shine, still cleans and leaves behind protection and a natural look.

Got me a gallon of Megs QID. Great for IP audio etc.
Dash pad, door vinyl gets spiffed up with leather conditioner.
I like Z10. Not shiny not greasy smells great.

Cleaner: Meguiar's All Purpose Cleaner D101 diluted 10:1
Protectant: 303 Aerospace Protectant (water based!)

Been using this combo professionally for quite some time. Very effective!

As mentioned above, the Meguiar's Ultimate Interior Detailer is ok, but certainly less effective at cleaning tough grime. Suitable for maintenance wipe downs on well maintained interiors.

Ultima Interior Car Shampoo Gel, agitate with a soft brush for heavy soiled areas, wipes away clean, no streaks, and leaves a nice clean scent.

Follow with Ultima Interior Guard Plus for excellent protection.

I use QID for routine cleaning too - and Einsatz for deeper cleaning.
