You should re apply your preferred interior detailer after wipe down since you are wiping away the previous application.

Alright...i've read a bit and i like the idea of those protectant wipes that you can use to shine and protect plastic, will go get these one later today unless one of you guys object to it...i would get the 303 ones but they are only available on amazon et they cost a lot more...these are better than nothing right?

That should work, personally I would use the spray bottle version of that product as I feel you get a more controlled wipe. I've used the wipes and they just seem messy but hey, whatever works for you as long as you put some protection on there!

Honesty just buy a bottle of 303, it's the best stuff out there for interior plastic/vinyl protection. You don't need the pre-moistened wipes unless you really want them as a microfiber application is better anyway. 303 also needs to be buffed off to work properly, so you will be using a second towel anyway.

Since you're in Canada you can order it here:

Or here:

Or here:

A little goes a long way, 400ml or whatever will last you several seasons for ~$20.

I am not familiar with that Meguiars product but you need to be careful with interior protectants, especially the cheaper ones, as if they have alcohol or petroleum distillates in them they will actually ruin your interior over time. ArmorAll was famous for this, their wipes made your car look good immediately after (if you liked the glossy/slimy look and feel) but it dried everything out, promoting cracking.

Dust is easy to get off with whatever you want, but it's the UV protection that is really important.

very true, I just haven't really used any protection products on my dash as of yet but it's looking like it's a good idea to start now

If you don't live somewhere hot and sunny, if you don't park your car out in the son a lot, or if you get rid of your cars after a few years anyway, yeah it's probably not a big deal. But it's so cheap and easy to do that you might as well if you like looking after your car. If you end up with 303, it also makes a great tire dressing.

At the end of the day just get what suits you. People swear by Griots, Megs, 303 and truth be told unless you're in the detailing business you won't see much a difference between these products. For a normal consumer who just wants something easy to work with and apply these will work. Each company makes excellent products. It's just down to preference.

I use Total Interior by Chemical Guys. On bright interiors prefer Meguiar's quick detailer, but this total interior is helpful in the sense that it's safe for all the various interior materials of our cars. Can even be used to clean leather on other cars.

I added a charcoal gray dash mat so I clean it with a vacuum. There are lots of great plastic treatment products I buy much less of without using them on the dash. Consider a dash mat to clean less, drive more and without dash reflected glare.

Over time, that’d more than cover cost of the mat while there’s no sun damage below. Installing a custom cut mat, around $50 looks nice, stays put, and doesn’t interfere with the airbag... but she seldom rides with me.

Where'd you get that dash mat from??!!

I just spent about an hour looking for the same mat.

Summit Racing but it’s by Covercraft so you pick where:

I use Meguairs interior wipes and they have a lovely matte finish. I typically wipe the dash down with a damp microfibre cloth beforehand though.
