I have a detail coming up soon and the leather/vinyl bmw seats have never been cleaned probably. SO I used lexol in the past for my car but was at a store that did not have it and got zep. Quality products so why not? Then saw mirror bright lotion at another store which is okay, then decided to buy griots interior cleaner.I looked strong enough to tackle not often cleaned leather. If any of these do not work, do I try apc next?

I had good luck with the Griots interior cleaner. Gentle, yet strong.

Isn't the Zep already an APC? I mean Zep doesn't make car interior products AFAIK.

Manly yes, but I like it too. Huh?

Bill,

It's been awhile since the below car-care
product line has been discussed;
so, just for memory sake:

I believe that IBIZ World Class has
a 2-'n-1 vinyl and leather product.

:D

Well, I guess I don't know what I'm talking about, which is nothing new.

So Bill, you said that these seats have probably never been cleaned. Have you seen them? Are they dirty?

I have not seen them but the seats are from 2007 and having never been cleaned, it will be dirty Im betting

Zep citrus is to soapy and leaves a lot of residue.zep 505 will work if you can't order from ag in time.

So are you looking for something you can buy locally, or are you going to order?

505 is a moderate agressive apc,on 2007 beemer seats dirty may require some agitation.your promblem is gonna be the door panels.Bmw Lexus Toyota door panels are not user friendly with some apc,it turns the panels green.ultima gel would be a safe great fit if you can order in time.If not dilute the 505 big time on the panels.If they turn green just neutralize with water.

Zep 505 is a pretty strong degreaser. I'd dilute it if I used it on interiors.

Blackfire Interior Cleaner is excellent.

And Optimum Power Clean is extraordinary.

The Zep leather cleaner is so weak,but maybe use it on the door panels.
