Does anyone still use diluted woolite to clean interior Plastic/Vinyl/leatherette? If so, what dilution?



If not, what do you use when cleaning interior Plastic/Vinyl/leatherette?



Thanks,
 
I use it all the time. I use the way-back dilution of 6:1. Not real sure when the norm became 10:1, as it seems everyone is using it at that now. Maybe I missed that thread. Next time I whip up a bottle, I may try it to see what (if any) differences there are.
 
In case you're already not doing this, make sure to so a final clean water wipedown afterwards. Woolite(and other cleaners) can leaves a very slight film/residue behind that will accelerate resoiling.

A clean, damp MF towel works great.
 
If I dress the interior vinyl and leather with Meguiars Quik Interior Detailer, that seems to work great as well.
 
I use 10:1, works good on nasty interior surfaces, although that Automagic HD cleaner (hope I got that name right) that David told me about works good too. I'm not a fan of using APC's on the interior unless it's a complete puke pit.
 
Glad to know it is still in use, as I am still using it.



Do you guys usually clean the Plastic/Vinyl/leatherette then protectant? For example if the surface looks clean do you just go with protectant?



What about for regular surface maintenance, do you clean the surface every-so-often then add protectant? even if not visibly dirty?

I only clean things that are dirty, but you gotta watch that you do *notice* the dirt; something might not be as clean as you think it is ;)

90-some% of the time I just use Meg's Interior QD.



But again, you gotta watch that the soiling doesn't happen so gradually and evenly that you don't notice it's truly dirty.
 
How do you guys measure 10:1? Is there a special technique or is that just an eyeballed estimate.



I know, retarded question. lol

Just because it looks clean doesn't mean it is. Once everything is clean and protected, when you wash the car, go over the interior with a clean damp MF towel or a product like Meguiars Interior QD.

The sprayer I have has the dilution ratios marked on the side of the bottle. Fill up with whatever product to the desired dilution point and then add water to the fill line.
