Default Is250 2015 dash materiel. What interior detailer to use?

Hello all

im back with a question

what material is the dash of the is250 2015 made of?

is it leather ? Suede? Vinyl ? I can't tell

i want to use the turtle wax ice cleaner/protectant on it but I'm not sure what materiel the dash is

i want to also buy the 303 protectant but I would need a cleaner first ? What cleaner do you use ?

so what do you guys use to clean the inside of the car and the dash?

thanks all !!!!

yes, all the time. I am to scared to try on screens though.
It is matte, I hate greasy wipes/spray too.

I use Meg's Interior Quik Detailer. I use it on everything from seats, center console, steering wheel, dash, pillars. Everything EXCEPT the screens (nav and instrument cluster)

Leaves a matte finish, and UV protection.

I was worried about streaking and smell with this one. Is it true?

you have to to be careful with amazon. Some prices are ridiculous. Canadian tire has better prices. Especially when on sale

thanks

Doesn't streak as far as I can tell. I've been using it every since I got the car a little more than 1 year ago. The smell is hard to explain, its not fruity. It smells fine imo. Nothing too strong or overwhelming

Make sure you use a MF cloth and spray the detailer ONTO the cloth. NOT onto the thing you want to clean. This will help with over spray and staining.

I use Meg Quick Interior Detailer too. It's a really mild cleaner.

Also off topic, if anyone knows a good product to get rid of white spots/micro scratches on my dash (bought it like that), lmk! Thanks.

I use 303 Aerospace Protectant, does not shine but whatever you spray it with gets a satin, like new from the dealer appearance while totally dry and not greasy in any way. It enhances the color as well, I use it on my Rioja Red seats and it deepens the red significantly without the seats shining too much or me sliding off them.

Can you take a close up? but, those scratches on the dash are near impossible to take off.. They have been scuffed by a backpack, or anything hard/sharp for that matter.

I have a small one in that area as well, nothing I did could remove it. Not the mention I have a few scruff marks on the plastic under the seats from my dress shoes =\

Ill give the 303 Aerospace Protectant a try per Avi8orco, I think it's silly that it can get that bad so easy.

hi

do you use 303 everywhere including the soft dash?

what do you use to clean before applying the 303 protectant ?

thanks

what sort of carpets/mats are those? they look amazing!

to the OP, I use 303 aerospace on my interior surfaces and it leaves all with a satiny finish that looks professionally detailed.
