advice/recommendation for interior n leatherette

Sal G@Camber-Toe · 09-15-2009, 07:34 PM

I've been kind of neglecting the interior of the car when doing my washes and starting to see the result of it. I have leatherette and im not sure sure if the "leather" on the steering wheel and dash is also leatherette or actual leather. I want some recommendations on what to use to clean the trim/vinyl/plastics parts as well as the columns which have that cloth like material. I've seen a few products that are good for everything but I wanna know whats good. Any input is appreciated, thanks.

i use 303 aerospace on my leatherette. its been recommended many times on here and I've had good results with it for the seats/dash etc. About the cloth covered parts, I'm not sure - maybe mild soap and water?

A great one step product to use on your vinyl, rubber, leather, leatherette, and plastic is Optimum Protectant Plus. It has some mild cleaners in it and leaves behind some UV protection with a matte finish. 303 Aerospace Protectant is also a good option as a dressing and UV protectant as icandie mentioned. Optimum offers some cleaning capabilities though, where 303 does not (it usually cleans mildly by the liquid and microfiber that you use to apply it with).

For the cloth like material, use a diluted all purpose cleaner or something like 303 Cleaner & Spot Remover for a simple option.

Hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions on caring for your interior or any part of your car for that matter.
