What interior cleaner?

What interior cleaner are people using? Ideally something that can be used on both the door cards and dash. (I use Gliptone on the seats).

I picked up some of the Autoglym interior shampoo but found it leaves a faint white residue on the rough plastic finishing.

Bonus points if I can get it from Halfrauds!
 
For me, it's Autoglym Vinyl and Rubber on the non-leather bits, liquid leather on the seats, gear knob, steering wheel, handbrake, door cards and other leather trim areas. Floormats get steam cleaned regularly, and carpets a couple of times per year.
 
Following recommendations on the forum I've used Aerospace 303 Wipes, available as spray as well.
I use it all over, interior plastics (not upholstery or headlining etc.) dash etc and also the plastics in the engine bay.
Very good product! Thoroughly recommend.
 
I would highly recommend Auto Finesse Total which can be used throughout the car on multiple surfaces. It doesn't leave any residue neither, simply spray on to a MF cloth and rub in. For the finishing touches on plastic protection AF Spritz. I personally use a mix of these products plus a decent APC and Gtechniq Matt dash on all the vehicles I work on.

Personally i also use AG vinyl and rubber on the engine plastics to dress them.

I recently purchased some Auto Finessse spritz , on a clean surface it returns the vinyl to an as new appearance :thumbsup: great smell as well Ive also purchased some Auto finesse total following recommendations ,haven't used it yet ,I report back when I have ,
 
It depents do you want silicone shine or factory look. If you want silicone shine, then autoglym vinyl & rubber care.
Personally i like matt surfaces, and thats why i am using autofinesse spritz.
Autofinesse spritz keep all plastics in matt factory look but takes dust away and smells nice.

As a follow on to my previous post here are my results with AF Total

I also use Auto Finesses spritz ,but it will only enhance to an original Matt factory an already clean plastic / vinyl surface, so I wanted a cleaner to use prior to the spritz , after reading both this and other forums I purchased some Auto Finesse Total , I used it yesterday on all the plastic / vinyl surfaces , were the wife's make up was on the tops of the door card !!!!!! ,they put it on their hands ,and hard water residue in one or two areas , initially after spraying on and wiping off ,not much happened , so I used a stiff toothbrush ,then wiped off after a couple of passes, and agitating with the tooth brush all the make up and hard water residue disappeared ,success , then. A spray with the spritz , it looked like new with a matt factory look , happy days , I would rather use this cleaner and toothbrush approach than an aggressive cleaning agent , which would inevitably damage the surface and cause mayhem to my interior ,my approach is research lots buy once , :thumbsup:
 
Has anyone used an Autoglm or Maguires product to clean leather and leave a matt finish. Also looking for an Alcantara cleaner prefereably that can be bought from Halfords as they have a 3 for 2 deal on at the minute.
 
I have used Autoglym products personally and professionally for 30 years because IMHO they consistently give the best finish. Take a look at this link for Autoglyms 3-step Interior Cleaning Routine.... http://www.autoglym.com/products/t/3-step-routine/interior ....then choose your weapons !
 
Had good results with Autoglym rubber care.

Today I used 303 Aerospace spray. I sprayed it onto a foam pad and the foam made it easy to apply to the rough textured dash and doors. Nice satin finish.

I avoided the leather door inserts, as I'm going to Gliptone condition them later. I think the 303 would look ok on the leather though too.
