    Question Interior cleaning product recommendation?

    Hello everyone from AG! I just recently started looking into better products to wash car's for and these a few things I will be ordering tomorrow morning from AG:

    Pinnacle Ultra Poly Clay
    Daytona Speed Master Wheel Brush
    Lcean Wheel Lug Nut Brush
    303 Aerospace Protectant 16oz --I can use to for exterior trimming right?
    Griot's Garage Heavy Duty Wheel Cleaner 35oz
    Griot's Garage Finest Sprayer
    The Grit Guard Insert


    The only thing I probably need left is interior cleaning product. Not a big fan of those greasy looks though. I want a product that actually lifts off stains and whatnot from fabric, vinyl, plastic trims, leather. What do you guy's suggest? Also, feel free to recommend other products that i may need since i'm still inexperienced.

    all purpose cleaner diluted to 1:15 with water. follow up with a UV protectant. I like megs mantel interior protectant. It looks great and has nice smell.

    If you want a quick wipe down that leaves a nice sheen then try ONR(optimum no rinse). Its my go to product.

    I would go with Meguiar's APC+ (cheaper) or Optimum Power Clean (more versatile)

    For the majority of interior cleaning I prefer OPC (Optimum Power Clean). Normally it is diluted 3:1 and can be used on everything. For sport cleaning carpets my go to product is Folex. This stuff is fantastic and can be found at Home Depot of Bed Bath & Beyond. I have used DP Total Interior Cleaner as well with good results.

    1z cockpit premium is the greatest for dash and plastic it cleans and protects. For deeper cleaning get 1z plastic deep

    Re: Interior cleaning product recommendation?

    I just used some APC+ on the interior of my truck that I let get entirely too filthy. It was diluted 10:1 and did a pretty good job of removing all stains and dirt with very minimal effort. If I spent some more time scrubbing the truck would be spotless inside, but it's getting traded in tomorrow and I really only wanted it to be presentable. Not worth cleaning it better in 25-30* weather.

    Same as wash solution. I find it works great. I use wash dilution for everything, clay, windows, wipe down, wheels, ect.

    1 Tablespoon per gallon
    1 tea spoon per 16oz.


    To the orginal poster. Imo it doesn't matter what APC you use. Its more about dilution. you can save money buy buying a cheap concentrate apc over the counter. you dilute 1:15 with water for general interior purposes. for greasy door jams, bad wheels, engine bays ect then 1:4 or even 1:2. you can even use apc on leather, some people use 1:15, others 1:30.

    Dilution? Can someone explain to me what that means? How do I measure the right ratio?

    They sale bottles with the dilution written on the side. try home depot. so 1:15 would mean for every 15 ounces of water I will want 1 ounce of proudct. typically spray bottles are 32 oz. I will measure 2 ounces, put that in the bottle, then fill the rest with water.
