I've found that using unscented Huggies baby wipes makes interior cleaning a snap. Keep a tub on the back floor, always handy... real baby or no.

Especially for those of us with beige interiors.

How about beige interiors AND babies?

 

[Steinola]

I would think those things (the wipes, not the babies) would be hel... er... hec... er... not very kind to the interior surfaces, Des. Have you checked out the alcohol content in those things? I don't think I'd want it smeared on my plastic or leather.

I like the armor-all orange cleaning wipes for the interior and for my bra. It does dry with streaks on the dashbard when theyre really wet. But my favorite is a bucket with a little tide and water and a nice rag, cleans the interior up really really nice, and you wont beleive how dingy the water in the bucket gets, i think i keep my car clean, but i did the bucket before volksfest, and i coulndt beleive my eyes, the water was solid dark grey, but hte interior, looked brand spankin new.

Well when something like the console needs a good cleaning I use Simple Green. For shine, I use either Mothers Back to Black, or Meguiar's rich leather wipes, both go on without leaving an oily/greasy residue.

I never use anything but good old plain water and a microfiber cloth on mine

I just bought the armorall leather wipes last week to do a quick clean on my color concept seats. They worked very well and my seats looked clean and conditioned. I was surprised at how much dirt came off the green leather, since it looked pretty clean. There was some streaking on the back seat black parts after it dried, so I went over it again with a clean one and it dried nice and even. I now keep 3 containers by armorall in my trunk... cleaning wipes, glass wipes, leather wipes. BTW I have 3 kids.

i really like the regular armor all cleaning wipes for my interior (save the leather). they can dry streaky on the black plastic parts of the dash, doors, etc. but if you wipe with a MF cloth before it dries, that's taken care of no problem.

i also learned last night that these are great for cleaning the headliner. for some reason, the passenger side headliner was FILTHY near the visor. the wipes took care of the funk no problem, and dried without leaving any color change. i'm really pleased.

i use a pledge grab-it for the dash and other dusty spots and fantastik brand cleaner for the stubborn stuff.

Anyone notice how quickly dust builds up on the dash? Maybe it cuz the dash is black and stands out more but seems worse then my old car.

I use only 100% alcohol and fragrance-free wipes.

I use the California mini duster for the dash,works great.

Works really good - they have the wipes version coming out in 06.

it rocks - doesn't leave any sticky or greasy residue and make the dash clean too esp. if you use it w/ a microfiber so it doesn't leave any lint

Water Spots

I have some water spots on my beige interior from cleaning. Any suggestions on removing them? You can also email me at [email protected]. Thanks!!!

 

[Lnzbug]

I'm going with the unscented alcohol free baby wipes. If they're gentle enough for a baby's bottom then they're gentle enough for my car!

 

[itsabugslife!]

i use the little hand held size swiffer dealy on the dash....it works wonders on the black since it attracts dust and stuff in a heart beat

 

[iScott]

Any quick tips on getting the nasty sh!t out of cup holders? The previous owner left some nasty rings of filth at the bottom.

 

[GINA]

^ I'd like to know too, I had a leaky cup in mine that left its nasties behind Can you just pull the inside part out? It didn't seem to give when I tried.

 

[Lnzbug]

Lefty loosy, Righty tighty. The inserts only need about1/4 or so turn.

 

[GINA]

Thanks! I'll give it a try this afternoon
