I want to start cleaning my interior plastics, seats and carpet and don’t really want to use APC.
I’ve heard the debate that APC shouldn’t be no where near interior , others say they do use it.
Well I’m trying to explore other options, be creative.
Thoughts?

Yeah i’d second on leaving a film. P&S pearl shampoo supposedly can by used as rinseless although i personally wouldn’t try.
Save yourself some time and hassle and use this. Works great.... really cheap.... loved by alot of Internet personalities (TRC guy’s, Matt from Obsessed, Pan the Organizer to name a few)
$15.99 a gallon and has great cleaning power.
P&S Xpress Interior Cleaner 128 oz.

Re: Stupid question, rinseless wash alternative?
Quick question, why wouldn't an APC be ok to be used in the interior I mean diluted at the proper ratio I can't see why it wouldn't work properly. I've been using Optimum Power Clean aka Alien Kleen since joining AG and continue to do so. At 3:1 this product cleans VERY well. Now for maintence cleanings I have used N914 and Griot's Garage Brillant Shine rinseless wash to wipedown my interior bits too, no issues ever

Re: Stupid question, rinseless wash alternative?
To me APC is more suitable for like oils, stubborn grease or stains. I rather play it safe and use a good alternative that I know won’t mess anything up, especially customers cars.
I would feel better knowing that no harm no foul.
Now if I’m dealing with grease or stains then yea reach for APC.
Thanks to everyone

Re: Stupid question, rinseless wash alternative?
I know there is overlap between the two categories but I reach for a degreaser as opposed to a true APC when tackling situations you describe. Maybe that’s partially your issue with APCs is you’re thinking of the more powerful ones as opposed to more general APCs. I guess that’s one of the problems with all-purpose, there is no such thing.

Re: Stupid question, rinseless wash alternative?
The issue I’m experiencing with Meguiar’s all purpose cleaner (no offense I’m a true fan) is that it leaves behind a white film on my black leather. Not making this up, I love Meguiar's and this isn't going to discourage me from them.
Yet it does leave a white film over my black leather and it looks well not good. Then I can’t take it off.

Why not use an Interior Detailer? It will do light cleaning and leave behind some protection. I use a non-AG brand for all the cars I do (including my own) and that takes care of +90% of what I see. I will occasionally have to go to a stronger surface/leather cleaner for steering wheels, drivers seats, etc., but most cars the ID is all I use.
Here are a few AG brands - Blackfire Interior Detailer and DP Interior All-In-One.
