What can I use to clean the vinyl, wood trim and leather. I don't like the shiny finish Armor All gives. I prefer a muted, semi-matte but clean look, like the day I picked up the car. There was Lexus related site that suggested using only a microfiber cloth and water. Is that the best approach? Is UV protection some sort of marketing BS? My dealer suggested using the Armor All line even for the leather.

 

I use Meguiar's Quik Detailer, no shiny finish!

 

+1 Love the clean brand new look.

 

Same here!

 

+1 Been using this like forever, no shiny finish on plastic, wood, leather.

 

I use this also, works great.

 

I also use the Meguiars Quik Interior detailer

 

303 Aerospace Protectant - This product outdoes everything else. Will not leave a high gloss shine. I am **** and have used on my Corvette interior for years. Would not use any other product. Goggle it to get the details.

 

I use 1Z cockpit premium on hard surfaces. No shine at all, very matte. For leather, I use Zanio products. If you want more robust UV protection, 303 Areospace has been the standard for years.

 

Chemical guys Inner Clean.

 

IMHO 303 is too glossy for an interior. I use it on exterior trim, seals, etc, but I don't like it on the dash, etc.

 

is that oil base? oily to the touch?

 

The Quick Detailer from Meguiars? No its just a mild cleaner, no residue left behind at all.

 

I have tried Meguiar's Quik Interior Detailer, but I will have to compare it to Spray Nine which I have used for a variety of cleaning jobs including my BBQ and is similar but less expensive.

 

UGH! Do NOT use Spray Nine on the interior materials of your car!!!!!

That will ruin and discolor the materials. Spray Nine is absolutely not similar to a cleaner like Meguiars Quick Interior detailer. You can't use something that will cut the grease on a BBQ on the delicate vinyl, nuluxe, and leather materials inside your car. Good lord, spend a couple dollars and get the right product for the job. Saying those two materials are similar is like saying bleach is similar to face soap.
