Has the Woolite/water solution every let you down?

I use the 1:6 Woolite/H20 solution on everything in my interior and it always performed well. Not only do I use it on carpets, seats, dash, and vinyl pannels, I also use it on my speedometer and radio face. It has never let me down with any interior surface.



I don't see the need for the new interior products,e.g. Meg's Quik Interior Detailer and Sonus Cockpit Detailer.

I don't think Quik Interior Detailer/Sonus Cockpit Detailer is intended as a cleaner as the Woolite/Water mix is. I love the Woolite mixture, but if you are going to use it on plastic then you need to follow it up with some protectant. I put it up there with clay as one of the best detailing things I've ever used.

I like the woolite mixture, however I diluted to 1:10 and it still seems a little bit too "soapy" for me. It works great on cleaning plastic panels + quick wipe down of leather, but I think I like the meg's interior detailer a little better. I'm yet to tackle any really dirty surfaces, but for regular cleaning I think the ease of Meg's interior and added protection make it a slight favorite for me...anyone figure out a good dilution to get rid of the "soapy" effect?

When you guys are using the Woolite mix do you find that you have to wipe the surface down with a damp MF after applying it to remove any soap residue???

I use Woolite (6:1) in a spray bottle - spray onto MF then wipe. I find this helps cut down any residue, however I always dress surfaces after using Megs Natural Shine which may remove any residue. I do find I need to wipe over steering wheels with a damp MF after using Woolite to clean.

Pat,



I have found that I need to sometimes follow with just a damp cloth. It really depends on the car though. In mine, I never have had to, on my mom's van though, it to be wiped down horribly. I think it has a lot to do with the plastic type and your dilution (no 2 will ever be the same, at least not in the quantities we use it in).



My only complaint with the woolite mix is that it suds a lot in carpet. Someone suggested mixing in some vinegar to cut down on the suds, and I think I'll try that next time, as well as maybe making it only 1:10 instead of my usual 1:6. I'll just have to try and see what happens.

I run woolite in a 1:5 ratio...have had good luck. I can't say it's let me down but I have gone over some lingering stains with FOLEX and found the folex removed all traces...I was surprised! and pleased.
