Question Cleaning the F Sport interior

How and what are some of you using to cleaning the F Sport interior? I my self have the black interior all around the inside of my F Sport. So far I've used a wet Microfiber cloth to clean the dust but wanted to know what products people are using to clean and protect the inside interior.

My favourite would be Meguiar's Interior Detailer and Leather 2-in-1 Cleaner and Conditioner. You can easily find them at your local Walmart store and they are very user-friendly. They have been in the car detailing busines since 1901 (proven products). =)

Personally, I always use Meguiars so for the seat you can use Meguiars Gold Class Rich Leather Cleaner and Conditioner



For the other parts...

+2 on above recommendation. I've been using their leather products on my wife's car. I use a pad and gently wipe it off then apply the conditioner.

Swiffer Duster in both my cars. Works great to remove dust quickly. Will have the same once I get my new IS.

I have yet to find a product that will not shine up the dash and repel dust. Any tips?

I use this and it is amazing. Smells good and cleans without being too abrasive on the interior panels and leather =)

What do you guys recommend for the NuLuxe interior on the F-sport? Will leather products work or do I need to purchase vinyl-specific products? I've done some research, but have been having trouble finding a product that doesn't add "shine." I definitely want something that is 100% non-greasy and not shiny.

Also, does the Nuluxe material need "conditioning" like leather does, or will just "cleaning" products suffice?

Great, good to know it's available in Canada. Actually just found it at CT, online.

Will any of these Meguiars products damage the interior of the car (dash, plastic) in the long run? Had a bad experience with Armor All products.

Try Vinylex from Lexol. You should not use leather cleaner. Nuluxe is vinyl.

I'm use the same for my Nuluxe Red Interior. No shine just clean.

Nuluxe Contains ~10% Synthetic Plastic (+) ~90% Synthetic Leather.
(This information come from Dealer and Internet Search)

I'm using this brand for more than 8 years and I can't say nothin bad about. Also I can suggest Symbol it's good too.
