What do you guys use to clean the dash and plastic pieces with?

 

cloth with water, or windex lol it works for everything

 

armoral, usually..

 

I'll usually use Armor All but won't use it on the steering wheel or shifter. THen your hands get full of it everytime you drive

 

i just use windex on the plastic stuff. I've never had to clean the leather. And i figure plastic doesn't need armor all haha

 

Alright, well I wasjust wondering if armr all was okay for our plastic interior haha. I wish we had smooth plastic.

 

armor all has a chemical that dries out plastic and causes it to crack....

 

I second that, armor all also discolors plastic. think of it this way. putting cooking oil all over you interior and leaving it in the sun where it reaches temperatures of up to 150F.

Just use a good cleaner like "spray nine" or even windex.

 

I use Armor All on pretty much everything on the interior.

 

unless i have actual dirt that needs to be cleaned i dont use anything, if its just all dusty and crap i have this cool little duster i use, just sweep everything off. its good too because armor all not only being bad for your interior also makes it collect more dust i think. as for the leather you should be cleaing it, but not with armor all. a good rule of thumb is ya get what ya pay for. so get some good conditioner wipes for your seats. maybe maguires or something. windex has ammonia in it and i am pretty sure that is not good for plastic either. so when i clean my interior all i need to do is dust the dash, wipe the seats, vacumm, and then hit any dirty spots with a wet rag (maybe a little soapy) and i am done

 

i use dissolve all

 

There was a time in the 80s that Armor All did dry out platics, causing them to crack. However this is no longer the case.

Regardless as to what you use, you want to use a water based product which is usually a white milky color, to prevent drying out your dash.

 

Oh yes on the leather I use meguiars leather wipes, works excellent. I was just wondering about the plastic dash and whatnot. Honestly I hate the non flat surface dash...wish GM had not went so cheaply with the plastics...I would honestly much rather have interior plastic that the cavy's had...but oh well.

 

yeah oh well right, lol, i mean there are always going to be things you dont like about cars. but i am sure you get over it quickly when you suprise some people in your car

 

windex is what i use

 

Agreed, thats the only thing I do not like about the car is the interior. Overall loving every minute of it though.

 

armor all

 

Black Magic And Meguirars

 

Armor All also causes your windows to get a film on them. When the sun heats up your interior it makes it dry it out and the armor all gets onto your windshild, and its a pain in the @$$ to get it all off the windows. We have had many cars come in when the owner's used that crap and it takes quite a bit of time to get it all off.

I use Extra Duty as a pre-cleaner to get all the dirt off and then Super Shine as a protectant for the dash and leather. I get these through the dealership, so i'm not sure if they are in any stores. But for stuff you can get at the store, i would use Lexar for the leather or Vinylex for the dash.

For the windows i use Castle's Streak Proof Glass Cleaner.

Lemmi know if you need any other information on products to use.

 

i use pinnacle products. works great.. smells good.. used it on every car i have ever had.. check them out...

 

The best stuff I found was that turtle wax interior stuff in the spray bottle. Light/Bright green bottle. I forgot what the name of it was....I lost it.

 

I either use a California Duster or a damp chamois. (Sham-ee) I try to stay away from using chemical-based solutions and water seems to work great anyway.

Though for stains in the carpet and upholstery I use Tuff Stuff. Works great.

 

Meguiar's Professional #39 heavy duty vinyl cleaner, followed by Meguiar's #40 vinyl & rubber treatment. Nice & shiny, without the greasy feel. It has UV protection too. I use an Absorber mini for the windows. Blu Coral Dri-Clean for the carpet (great new car smell, will get out any stain I have encountered).
