Recommended cleaning products and procedures for keeping the interior spick and span

Nice and clean at the moment, kids have been banned from eating and drinking in the car, and I'm not allowed any rubbish in the door bins

I use`Interior Car Wipes ,and come in a plastic tin with a hole in the top that lets you pull one out at a time ...think they were from Asda but cant remember the brand . They work a treat .

Hey OBN - List of products I use at present.

Leather - Meguiars Gold Class leather cleaner and dressing
Fabric - MINI interior shampoo - dilute with water in a squirty bottle - last for ages; works well and smells nice.
Plastic - Meguirs NXT vinyl dressing - one coat leaves a nice semi gloss effect.
Glass - Wash up liquid in water - dry with a MF cloth then paper towel or newspaper.

In between full cleans I keep the interior smelling fresh with a squirt or two of Febreeze on the car mats.

Buy a 2" paint brush to dust the airvents and between the dials.

:)

Excellent thanks Wul.

Is it ok to use the interior shampoo on the seats they've been Supaguarded.

Just for future reference don't plan on letting any dirty inside, just wish I could ban birds (of the feathered variety), bugs and dirt on the road

You'd need to check the bumf on the supaguard - I reckon it will as in theory it's a dresisng which makes it easier to clean the dirt off the fabric.

Faux suede...pah! nothing fake in my car :)

But yes, that's the stuff. In my car they are on the side of the seats and the headrests. Real pain to keep clean!
