Whats the best interior cleaner/dressing?

Hey guys I have a 03 Corvette Z06 that I detail all of the time...I was wondering, what is a good interior cleaner to use on the dash/door panels and what is a good non greasy dressing that I can put on after cleaning so my interior looks nice at the car shows? I use Zaino leather cleaner and conditioner on my seats but that is probally to greasy for the dash.....? I have used some of the leather cleaner on the dash but it doesnt leave a shine like a dressing does so I am looking for one to use. Also, what is a good vacum to use? The vacum I use now is kinda of old and doesnt have very good suction. I heave heard a lot of people say they use shop vacs but I have heard they are messy is this true? Thanks a lot, I am sure you guys will have some great information to help me out!

Re: Whats the best interior cleaner/dressing?

Check out the poorboys line, I beleive you get a discount too by being a member of detailcity. I hear alot of good things about the natural look dressing, and their all purpose cleaner.

About the shop vacs, Any good wet/dry vac will work. I had a rigid from home depot and it worked great, i know a few other members here also use a rigid and recomend it. The one on my trailer though, finaly blew up on me a few weeks ago from being used 24/7. I replaced it with a craftsman, just because i'm a craftsman member and i got a deal on it. Just shop around for the best price.

Re: Whats the best interior cleaner/dressing?

A cleaner that actully works really, really well and isn't to harsh is this Blue Coral cleaner I've got...It's a citrus cleaner and is almost a wipe on/wipe off cleaner, it does a great job on lightly soiled door panels, leather seats, etc.
I usually use P&S Shine-All for an interior dressing, it leaves a fairly matte look after application. I always follow up with a wipe down of a MF to remove any splotches and to leave a smooth/ matte finish all the way through the car.

If I'm doing a quick interior clean during a wash, I'll usually use Simple Green

Re: Whats the best interior cleaner/dressing?

I personally use Meguiars #40 Rubber and Vinyl Cleaner and Conditioner. It does a great job of cleaning and also leave a nice sheen on the dash and door panels. I would not use it on leather for my leather I use two products. Meg's Aloe Leather cleaner followed by Adams Leather Conditioner.

Re: Whats the best interior cleaner/dressing?

I don't know what is "best", but I sure hope the Poorboy's Natural Look is good.
I have switched to the NL from 303, partly because of the rave reviews here and partly because it also does some light cleaning.
So far, I'm very pleased with the look. Not shiny, but a nice satin finish similar to the 303. I liked my first 16 oz. bottle well enough that I ordered a 32 oz. bottle.

Re: Whats the best interior cleaner/dressing?

I have recently just tried the DP interior Protectant and like it alot. I am
experimenting to try different products and am looking for one that gives
performance and the looks I want for a decent price. The DP is on sale at
Autogeek right now 32oz $5.99. That is a good price for this product.
However/ When it goes off sale it is priced higher than PB Natural Look.
I may be trying that in the future too.

Re: Whats the best interior cleaner/dressing?

For a cleaner I use Poorboys APC diluted on avg. 30:1 but depends on what I need it for. It works well and smells good. I havent had anyproblems. For a dressing I am an addict and have tried more then a few but i would sugest Poorboys NL. Youll find that for the most part Pb is the best but I think the only way to find somthing you like is to try it.
When i started here I always asked what is the best and people would say try stuff becasue everyone is diffrent and I would get mad that no-one could give me a staright awnser. As i went on i relized that those people were more then right. So as not to dodge the question I gave my 2 cents but I think it maybe somthing you need to try (ps you will try alot, their will be lots you hate I would suggest that you give them to other to get them hooked on detailing. Mine go to freinds but im sure people on dc would like them)
