    wiping the interior down with damp mf

    for dressing interiors i use 303 aerospace protectant

    and for leather i like "bmw premium leather cleaner/conditioner" (probably re-badged meguiars) or lexol. hoping to get my hands on some more poorboys tho.

    up until today ive been using megs quik interior detailer. only problem for me is that i have to spray a lot and i dont feel as if its enough. today i got a water damp mf and wrung it to make sure the water got out. and just wiped down my seats and dash with it. i like it. left everything clean and matte.

    only question regarding this is if its ok for the interior/leather.

    the leather looks and feels the same.

    what about the protectant and conditioners. would it effect their longevity. i like to re-dress every 3 weeks.

    my windows are tinted also, just incase that plays a role, if any.

    thanks

    If you`re just trying to remove light dust and marks then it`s fine. It`ll hardly affect the protectants in 3 weeks.

    You are fine.


    I usually do something similar and re-protect every 4-8 weeks.

    I just been wiping down my Benz and Chevy truck since new with only MF towels, never applied any protectant and the interiors still look and feel new. On all car manuals, they state to wipe interior with damp clean clothe often and no kind of protectants to keep from drying and cracking.

    also a chamois is allways good for a quick wipe it removes alot of stuff.

    Never used a chamois, real or synthetic for interior wipe downs but I`m sure it should be damp.

    Another item that can come in handy for interior care is a Swiffer refill. Those things they use to dry mop floors.
    I keep one in a short round potato chip container like Pringles come in.
