MY Daily Driver has a beige interior. The usual regime I have used on the seats is a damp MF during washings and prior to conditioning, I use Griots Interior Cleaner 1:1 with a soft horsehair brush to clean the leather. I usually do a pre wipe prior to using the agitating with the brush, and I can definately see a difference between brushing the leather versus not.
For my door panels, just a damp MF, and I will spot treat the panels with either APC 1:9 or Goo Gone for the boot subber scuffs, etc.
Preface....I felt my interior was as good as it was going to get, bearing it's the DD.
I was doing some testing with the steamer today on some inconspicous spots
With a triangle brush and an MF wrapped on it, I did not see a huge cleaning change.
I Tthought My interior was clean.
On a second area, I just used the single hole tip and just did some passed followed with a MF to catch up the steam. If I had to analogize it, it was as if I used a rotary nozzle on concrete. Where I used the single hole head with the steamer, it created a more ~beiger/cleaner~ area than the surrounding area.
So what do you guys recommend. Should I be using more aggressive products on my interior. Maybe a spraydown of Interior Cleaner on the Panels, then user steamer and also SCRUB with a nylon type interior bristle brush ?
The same goes for the leather seats . Maybe the horsehair brush is too soft and not getting the surfacant dirt between the grain ?
The results I got with the single tip, is like taking a clean white shirt....and if you were to wipe a area with laundry detergent, let it dwell, and then risk, where the detergent was, it was be everso whiter.
Suggestions ?
