Best interior cleaner and protectant

[JRF61]

Hello,
What product do you like for cleaning interior vinyl (armrests & center consoles) and what is the best protectant to use afterwards?
Thanks,
JRF

If vinyl is really dirty, you can use some APC diluted appropriately for the job. Usually, I just wipe mine down with 303 and that's enough for cleaning.

Protectacts are a subjective thing, do you want the shiny "wet" look or the matte "natural" look?

IMO, the best combo is DP Total Interior Cleaner (http://www.autogeek.net/dp340.html) & Poorboy's World Natural Look Dressing (http://www.autogeek.net/pbnl16.html).

I keep two bottles of 303 Cleaner handy 20:1 and 30:1 (20:1 for tough spots). The protectants after are 303, DP, or OP+ (OP+ for lighter colors and more matte; the other two are very close).

I like 303 and OP+ actually due to the price increase of 303 I'll stick with OP+. I normally use Pb APC for cleaning interior 20:1.

I use the pinnacle vinyl and leather cleaner with excellent results.

Woolite/H2O 1:10 for cleaning. 303 aerospace for protection..just bought a bunch on sale..yippee.

DP total interior cleaner cleans very well. DP protectant is very nice, but offers too much shine. I prefer Poorboy's NL or Optimum Protectant Plus over it.

This combination will clean / protect most automotive interior finishes (i.e leather, viynl, cloth, etc)

Diluted APC or any good cleaner like DP is fine, I personally love Optimum Protectant Plus for protection which can be used on everything from rubber, vinyl, plastic, leather etc. Dries to the touch and leaves a perfect matte sheen.
