Hi Scott,
Have you tried using your home made Woolite spray cleaner
for the vinyl dash and door skins. I currently use Vinylex
and water to pre clean the interior vinyl and then top with straight Vinylex.
Do you think the Woolite cleaner would beat the Vinylex cleaner?
thx

I`ve never used Vinylex, so I can`t compare the two, but you can use the woolite mixture on all interior surfaces. I also use Magnum Upholstry Cleaner which also works on vinyl, but when I run out, since Woolite is easier to get, I use it on everything.

I mix it 6 parts water, 1 part Woolite for all situations.

IMO Woolite is a great all purpose cleaner. My Suburban (the Miata Masher) often carries as many as seven Boy Scouts and all their camping gear back from living in the woods for up to two weeks. Can you imagine how dirty they and their gear get after two weeks? Woolite hasn’t failed me yet!

I`ve used Scott`s 6:1 with a lot of success. I do use the woolite foam (upholstery or heavy traffic) for the super dirty mats with a brush. Doesn`t get out the stuff that`s been there for 5+ years, but it still removes a lot. :xyxthumbs
Hey Nick, I swear this story is true (miata-masher related):
Back in the junior high days a friend of mine somehow got behind the steering wheel of the parents` Suburban and put it in reverse in a parking lot...don`t ask :). He hears a *crunch* and thinks he ran over a tennis racket. Remember it`s junior high so we`re not that bright. Turns out he sqooshed a Miata with the two rear tires sitting on the now non-existent Miata hood. Not exactly a tennis racket :D.

Do you need to rinse with plain water after using the Woolite Mixture??
Thank Al

It doesn`t. It just cleans. No protective qualities at all. It does leave leather nice and soft though, even without using a protectant.

You can, but you don`t have to. On floor mats, it is a good idea though, since you usually have to use a lot more of the mixture to get them clean.

One of the big advantages of Woolite is that it leaves a lot less residue than most cleaners/soaps. On leather and vinyl a final wipe with a little 303 Aerospace Protectant is my choice.

I learned about this in my "What`s your favorite product" thread. To me it seems like a better idea than forking out $7 for Lexol leather cleaner.

Is it this Woolite (http://www.fabriclink.com/Woolite/Home.html) ? It is comparable to other liquid laundry detergents, isn`t it?
No, as far as I know, Woolite is a laundry detergent for delicate washables like wool and silk. It has different usage instructions too.
I bet you could substitute generic detergent for delicates too, and not just Woolite exclusively? :nixweiss
