Re: cleaning interior without chemicals

just use clean microfibers on the plastic you could dampen them a bit with water it they dont pick up dust. as far as the leather your going to have to use some kinda cleaner and conditioner because leather is like skin you have to keep it clean, i dont think there is really a way around it. but like i said before a dry microfiber should wipe off the prints.

Damn mf. Or you could try woolite mixed with water. It's very gentle.

I agree, just a damp MF and treat the leather with a conditioner regularly.

Re: cleaning interior without chemicals

You could try using a steam cleaner that has an attachment for fabrics and leather.

Re: cleaning interior without chemicals

Is there a problem with chemicals on new interiors? I was planning on putting 303 on the interior of my 2 month old car.

I would get the 303, it really works great, and leaves the dash and interior looking new. it is non-greasy, dull finish. Works good, and it has UV protectants in it if i am not mistaken.

Re: cleaning interior without chemicals

if you do not want to use any chemicals, +1 for a damp cloth. Also I belive i got this product at either target or Mejier. I think it was Meijer. But it is about 5 inches long by 4 wide. it is sort of a sponge. but you use it dry, it works awesone on picking up dust of dashes. kind of feels like a mix between a regular sponge, but with a rubbery feel...if that makes any sense. it is a reddish orange color. I will see if I can find a picture of it online.

Re: cleaning interior without chemicals

Damp MF will do the trick... I was given a "california duster" made for interiors, I nevr really use it anymore but from what i remember it worked pretty well.

Re: cleaning interior without chemicals

I do what they do. I use a damp MF or I use Meguiars Interior Detailer just becuase I can get it locally. If im really cleaning, ill use Megs APC at 10:1 for most stuff.
