Recommended: Interior APC & Quick Detailer

[Cls89]

1. Looking for recommendations on an interior APC that can be used occasionally for deep cleaning and a quick interior detailer that can be used in between deep cleanings.

2. I would like both the APC and quick detailer to be safe on all interior surfaces including leather.

3. I would like both the APC and quick detailer to wipe off easily and not leave excess residue.

Any recommendations would be appreciated

Optimum Power Clean at about 3:1-5:1 for most interior cleanings and DIY Detail Clean and Protect for interior detailer, Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions has a nice interior detailer too

I personally would use a dedicated Leather cleaner for leather like Conolly’s, Leather Honey, PBL, P&S Xpress.

I prefer express and leather honey.

But as you asked I use Bilt Hamber surfex as my APC. Can be used 1:99 1:49 (strong stuff) for interiors.

I won't use alkaline APC's on interiors now that I know the damage they can cause.

Something like P&S Express or Griot's Interior Cleaner are effective, safe, pH neutral products that can be used across most interior surfaces, including leather. I really like Express because works well in a spray and wipe manner but can be ramped up with some agitation.



For an interior detailer, there are plenty on the market now. Megs Quick Interior Detailer is readily available and a great product, although I find the scent odd. I much prefer Carpro InnerQD, but if you want a more obvious before and after, then look at P&S Swift. Having said that, pretty much any rinse-less wash can be used as an interior detailer, cheaper too. I like ONR for this role.

Yeah my ratio amount is too high for the products mentioned (OPC & Surfex), I'd go 10:1 for routine cleanings unless your working on some disaster area, then 5:1 for sure but like mentioned previously, lots a great, pre-made products on the market right now from Griot's Garage, DIY and Gyeon

Griots Interior Cleaner for the tough stuff

P&S Express for the normal stuff

Chamberlains for the leather

I agree with DFB. I might try diluted APC if diluted P&S Xpress or straight P&S Xpress couldn't handle something. Seems like APC is ok on interiors until it isn't. Diluting doesn't lower pH as much as you think it would.

I have found 303 interior cleaner a good product.
303 All Surface Interior Cleaner
Anyone of the interior QD would do fine.

I have switched to CERAMIC interior protection myself.

I appreciate all the feedback. Ok on the topic of APC’s, I’ve heard of P&S Express and that it is one of the safer APC’s to use on a vehicles interior especially when diluted 1:1. I’ve also been looking at an APC by a company called KOCH CHEMO, the product is green star. From what I’ve gathered this product is a great cleaner, but very potent, so interior cleaning would require a 1:20 dilution ratio. Anyone have any experience with this APC? Specifically with interior usage?
