I’d second the Nanolex suggestion.
Cleans great, smells quite nice and doesn’t leave anything behind.
If you buy the concentrate, you can make weaker or stronger versions to suit different jobs and it will last for ages.
+ 1 on Surfex hd and ONR . I use the Surfex mainly on steering wheel, hand brake, seats that have dog slobber on them and other areas which have grubby hands all over them and ONR everywhere else. ONR helps prevent scratches on soft plastics like instrument binnacle which is nice.
Also use some ODK cabin now and then .
MY favourites are ODK cabin, Adams interior Detailer, auto glanz mist and revive interior Detailer. They are all easy to use and leave a natural finish and smell lovely.
This is the exact reason I use Halfords dash and trim cleaner. It smells so good, I can't get enough of it. It adds zero dressing to the trim but cleans really well. £4 a bottle as well.
Currently using Wax Planet Re-Dress in the green apple scent - not an interior cleaner but can shift some stubborn stains, smells nice too which lingers for a good few days, also leaves a nice Matt finish.. not bad for £8 for 500ml.
Really enjoying Aenso Core at the moment. Has a little cleaner power, a slight foaming action, leaves a nice matte finish which is antistatic & also prevents finger prints on gloss black plastics & touch screens.
Does 303 leave a shiny finish on the plastics though?
Obviously depends what the user wants but too shiny on the dash can be a problem at times I think.....…..cheers
I and AG Rubber, plastic and vinyl cleans nicely and leaves behind a non to glossy finish, maybe not hte best but it is so simple and can be used for so many things its a great one product many uses.
I use Simoniz Foaming Dash Cleaner on all plastics and have done for about 15 or so years.
I am afraid to use anything else as before this I've had interior cleaners discolour the plastics (this was a long time ago on old cars, back in the day when the only choice is what halfords had, but I've kinda stuck with Simoniz out of fear!)
Please excuse my noob question : What is the main difference between an interior cleaner versus interior detailer? With so many products available i am overwhelm and really don't know what to choose. I am thinking to a product with nice scent or unscented for maintenance weekly cleaning , and another one for more heavy jobs when needed or more deep cleaning. I have leather seats , for that i will use a dedicated leather cleaner than leather protectant, but i have also leather on doors , so i will need a detailer which work also on plastic and leather ...dash. Thank you!
