The interior of my IS 350 had a wonderful smell when I purchased it. I asked the Lexus dealer what they used, and they gave me a complementary bottle of 'crazy clean'. It has a very nice citrus smell.

I'd really like to use it on my interior, but I'm not sure what interior surfaces it's safe to use on. The dash, seats, trim, carpets etc? It's a degreaser, so I'm concerned I'll strip my leather off the leather protectant that I put on recently.

If anyone here has any experience with this product, please chime in.

I personally wouldn't use it on my interior... if you decide to do so, test it in an inconspicuous area and monitor it for 24 hours before deciding to use it elsewhere.

Floor mats and carpet maybe.

Zach said what I was gonna say. Test on an inconspicuous area first.

If you're just after the scent, why not find an air freshener with a scent that you like

Yes, that might be an option - but I haven't found an air freshener that smells as good, and since the dealership parts department told me that's what their detailers use to 'prep' their cars for sale, I thought why not kill 2 birds with one stone.

I've tried it on inconspicuous and conspicuous areas and seems to be holding up well so far - no damage or discoloration as far as I can tell. I just spray a little on a microfiber and wipe down.

I've used Meguiar's interior detailer in the past and I liked that too. What other products do you recommend to clean and protect the interior?

Meg's quik interior detailer is pretty good as a one step product. If you want something dedicated to cleaner for everything I like meg's APC(all purpose cleaner) or APC+. It can clean carpets, vinyl, cloth, headliner, leather, etc. Just wipe on in a 10:1 diluted mix and wipe off with a damp towel. Make sure to test in an inconspicuous spot as always first.

If you are using a dedicated cleaner, you should also use a protectant against UV(sunscreen for your interior). I like 303 aerospace.

For leather you can use meg's APC or meg's quik interior but I prefer a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner such as leather masters, leatherique or lexol. I personally use leather masters because they have a protection cream(helps resists stains) and it works great.
