Interior cloth cleaning

[Havok]

What's some of the products and methods you guys use to clean the cloth on the armrest and door panels. Same goes for cloth seats. Trying to list and absorb the natural oils that comes off ha from sweating and regular rubbing.

I use 303 fabric cleaner; it works really well. http://www.autogeek.net/303cleanspot.html

I have a touring. Any ideas or suggestions on which product I should use for cleaning the leather seats and the dashboard/door etc?

These are the products I keep in my car at all times along with a microfiber/shop paper towel under the seat. The little pocket sill behind the shifter works as a great holder. And doesn't affect the passenger's leg room.

We use this on my wife's Camry leather interior. Looks brand new still after 4 years.

An APC by itself is way too strong to use on interiors unless its diluted. Use a multi surface cleaner meant for interiors (303, Meguiars..lots of choices). Don't use a APC in full concentration on any of your interiors. APC is meant for exteriors like engine bay and tires and paint. It is way too harsh for interior plastics and leather/fabric.

Use any multi surface cleaner meant for leather, vinyl and plastic interiors. Kenotek, 303, Optimum et al have products meant for cleaning interiors.

Do not use a APC or any Power clean product in full strength on any interior surface.

Along with those you may wish to consider Meguiar's Quick Detailer - which is awesome for touch ups.

Whoops! I meant an interior multi-surface cleaner. An APC would be for engine, and wheels. Have used Meguiar's quick detailer in the past. Now using Simoniz. A lot cheaper for virtually the same product. I do wish 303 stuff was readily available where I'm at.

Big fan myself. Cheap and a bottle lasts a long time, too.

Pretty sure you can find 303 on Amazon, Canada or any car detail specialty website. I haven't seen 303 much in store shelves here and you'd have to buy it online mostly.

There are plenty of other good interior detailer products besides 303. Try Kenotek Interior Cleaner in combination with Kenotek Interior detailer. Great product.
If you want a really fabulous product, try the Ultima Interior Guard plus. UIGP will last 6-12 months if you do 3coats and it is a interior sealant that leaves a nice satin sheen that lasts for months.
