Another one here using CG Innerclean and a high quality micro fiber. It took me about 5 minutes to clean the interior yesterday and it protects against UV and leaves a static free factory finish. I do not like the shiny "armor all" look that some cleaners leave.

Just received an Unexpected box of PolySteel Detailing kit, and it Works like a charm on the interior without that Shiny look. Looks like the first day i brought her home now. Best part is the kit was free, just showed up on my door step

That is creepy, so you post about what to do to keep your car clean, and a cleaning kit shows up at home? Talk about taking guerilla marketing meets cyber stalking.

Find the shipper's information and let us know so we can avoid them.

It is. I have 3 of them now. One for each vehicle we own.

Lexol, man. That stuff is magic. I put that shi*t on everything.

Not only will it clean, but it protects too. If you miss a spot, its so obvious after a couple of hours.

Default Swiffer duster

The Swiffer duster picks-up almost all dust without having to "rub" anything on your fragile interior plastics. Then I just use a damp cloth to gently clean spots where I sneezed on the gauges or whatever.

The only product I have used in my interior is Meg's Interior Quik Detailer & a MF cloth. It leaves a matte finish and suppose to give UV protection.

Used on dash, seats, plastic parts, everything but the screens. For the screens, I use a plain MF cloth to wipe off dust.

Just a thought - I have heard using a sun shade to protect the dash from sun damage is also a good idea. Probably nothing to worry about if your car is still < 1 year old, but also, it's nice to not have an oven waiting for you in summer time.

I keep Meg's Quick Interior Detailer in the car at all times, it's supposed to be one of the best bang for buck products out there and is readily available. It works great on the dash, console, cluster/screen and even scuffs getting in and out of the car on the lower door panels and footwell areas.

I *always* crack some windows so that my car is not an oven in the Sun.

Unless rain is imminent, of course.

Ecru is a horrible selection of interior colors. Shows wear after just a year! Would
like to replace my 2017, but the 2020 interior colors are boring! Why isn't saddle an option??

Well, today I learned that "ecru" means light beige lol.

I agree, it's not the best color especially if you wear dark-colored jeans.

There is a color called "flaxen" which might be better suited for what you want.
