    What products do you guys use to clean your interior. Everything but the leather seats. I use armorall protectant right now the whit stuff. Works good to me but lives a little streaky sometimes. Have any of you uses the audi car care stuff. Prices seem pretty cheap for interior cleaner's. Just wondering if any of you guys have used it and liked it. Or what else that u use. ??

    Trash that AA. It's harmful longterm, and ugh the greasy mess. Adams has a "leather and interior cleaner" and "total interior cleaner". Both are very good.

    If you don't clean and condition your leather with quality products every so often the leather will dry out, fade, crack and become shitty.

    If you keep your car for a year or less, park inside all the time and never sit on the seats your method is fine.

    I've been loving this combo for a flat non-greasy look:

    Sonax Dashboard Cleaner
    Chemical Guys Vintage Series Leather Conditioner

    I haven't really needed to clean the Leather, but I did try Auto Finesse Hide Leather Cleaner once, seemed okay.

    To freshen up the smell:

    Chemical Guys New Car Smell Premium Air Freshener
    Since its summer: Chemical Guys Watermelon Scent Premium Air Freshener

    For the floor mats I used the Durrmaid extractor with a Chemical Guys odor eliminator and cleaner, worked great!

    It's very good for exterior rubber. Used it for many years.

    Adams stuff is great, but for an interior clean I use Einszett Cockpit, Einszett Deep Plastic Cleaner, Einszett Vinyl Rubber Care and Protectant, Einszett Windscreen Clear, Chemical Guys New Car Scent, then for seats and leather LeatherMaster Cleaner and Conditioner.

    It seems like all these products work great but only an actual side by side application and comparison can provide the "which is best" answer.

    I use Audi's interior cleaning products. Particularly the cockpit spray which cleans all plastic components to better than new. It's quite amazing. I have not tried any other interior cleaner but I use various other 1z and Adams products and they all work very well. A combination of price, access or actually witnessing the products in action will likely sway anyone to buy that specific product.

    I use einzsett cockpit cleaner and Adams glass cleaner. For leather I use this

    http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0002Z...&robot_redir=1

    Great stuff, leaves the leather feeling great.

    I also use sonax air freshener to prevent or remove odors. This was recommended by Phil at detailers domain.

    I really is. I add a bit of water to my MF, and go crazy. Sometimes come back to buff out glossy stuff/alu. Adams is excellent, but there are certainly better products. There are always better products. For the price point/ease of use, its hard to beat. There is certainly a market to those that want a product that is good enough for 98%, but costs just above off-the-shelf stuff.

    What?! There's something better, not just equally good, for the glass? man, I was already overly impressed with the Adams glass cleaner coming from auto-parts store bought car glass cleaners. So what product gets you that last 2%?

    That will pair well with the Leather Masters stuff, since LM smells like jizz!
