Default Cleaning red nuluxe interiors

I just purchased the NX F Sport with the red nuluxe interior. I was wondering what I clean the interior with. I have always had leather interiors in my vehicles and this is the first without. I don't want to ruin anything and was looking for a good name brand product that I could use.

Welcome to the forum and congrats on your new NX! Pics are always welcome!

You'll see many variations on what people use on the IS F-Sport (same seats and Nuluxe material as the NX's). See:

Personally, as the manual says in the IS, I just use a damp microfiber cloth and water. I sometimes use a diluted blend of isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) on the seats and windows and does a great job cleaning and freshening up the interior.

I have the non F-Sport 3IS with leather seats but still have nuluxe being used in some parts of the seats. What I do is use a quality vinyl conditioner to nourish the nuluxe. I used Zymol Vinyl on the nuluxe.

However, I think stain may be a concern for seats which are not in black color such as seats in red. I would explore the use of a new product from CarPro which has stain and ink resistance.

It is called CQuartz Leather & Vinyl and it was recently introduced in SEMA 2014 show.

Here is the video which shows some interesting properties which I would have had interest if I have non black leather/synethetic leather/nuluxe seats.

Default cleaners for red nuluxe interiors NX

Has anyone heard anything good or bad in regards to Mothers VLR interior cleaner? It shows it is for vinyl and I would like to hear anyone's opinion on this.
