    Quick Interior Cleaning Routine

    What is your routine maintenance interior cleaning approach?

    I deep clean using Ultima clean and protection products, but need to know what products you use for your routine cleaning.

    I use Meguiars APC sprayed on a MF towel for light cleaning of dash, doors, and leather seats as well as center console and leather armrests etc.

    Is this what you do?

    Routine is vacuum carpets, APC wipe, then glass cleaning.

    Any product/cleaning suggestions?

    Quick Interior Detailer from the Detailer line at Meguiar's. Its not a great cleaner but it sure does a nice job on fingerprints and dust then leaves a nice factory sheen.

    I love Meguiar's Interior Cleaner.
    Low cost, little goes far and the smell is pleasant.

    Spray a little onto a MF towel and quickly remove dust, when I see a little spill on plastics I spray it on the spill itself, not for tough jobs but perfect to maintain your interior.
    Wish they came in gallon size.

    Warm, Damp ONR towel wipe down, a boars hair brush and compressed air will usually take care of any maintenance interior debris. Any spills, etc use the appropriate cleaner on hand.

    Express/Maintenance interior I might use $1-2 of product MAX.

    I keep sample size bottles of cleaners and MF towels in my van because the van needs cleaned at least a couple times per week. Kids are messy.

    De-trash. Depending on the look the person wants from the dressing, or the fragrance they want....ONR, UWW+, CG innerclean or megs QID on vinyl and plastics. Quick vacuum. Clean windows with a fast glass towel.

    If there are any fabric stains they are left as-is. Any residue on vinyl, leather or plastic gets a quick spritz of APC just before starting that panel for minimal dwell time.

    If I'm in there for more than 30 minutes, it's not a quick interior. I don't even open the trunk on these jobs.

    For me, this is an easy upsell for people who just wanted an exterior.

    Re: Quick Interior Cleaning Routine

    As a non pro for my personal car...simple. I take the damp waffle towel I use to dry my car after I wash it and gently wipe down everything to get rid of the dust. I vacuum as needed and clean the glass when needed. Once every 6 months or so I go over everything with UIGP. I dont let garbage or stuff accumulate in my car.

    Its funny, someone posted on Facebook a photo of the difference between men and women...

    The photo showed a womans bedroom which was spotless bed made and all, and her car which was piled high with stuff...then a photo of a mans bedroom which had clothes and stuff all over, and his car which was showroom clean. That sums me up for sure!

    Re: Quick Interior Cleaning Routine

    you might find some good info here: http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/...detailing.html

    for quick or not so quick interior cleanup, this post explains my favorite tool: http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/...ml#post1204566

    generally, for quickees, i'm using that and the attachments, Opti-Clean and plush MFs, making sure to hit the scratch sensitive surfaces first and Megs D120 and the original thin Optimum glass towels for interior glass.

    i love Opti-Clean because it's so useful for every damn thing! and since it's meant to be a waterless wash, it helps prevent scratches when cleaning on stupid piano black interior trim.

    Do you mean the Quik interior detailer? They sell that gallon-sized.
