What do you use to clean

your plastic interior parts ?

I have specific product I use for leather and window, but I'm not sure what I should use for the plastic and the wood, any recommendations on good products ?

Aerospace 303 for interior protectant. Use the search function and you'll come up with numerous threads/posts about this product. You can also visit the Wash & Wax Forum, lots of info there too.

I seached, but about 1000 non-relevant threads came up, which made me create this thread.

Nope. Run a search on the link below to find a store near by that sells it.

303 is not a cleaner, but a protectant. Plain water and a towel works good, or a mixture of woolite and water if it's real dirty inside.

Duragloss leather shampoo and leather conditioner for the leather. Cheap and will do just fine. Light mixture of woolight and water for the plastic and vinyl or leather as well if it's not that dirty, then follow up with 303 aerospace protectant on all the vinyl/plastic and rubber elements of your entire car. Just not the wipers, 303 makes a product for those as well though. Avoid saddle soap at all costs. Invest in some microfiber applicators too for the leather, best get two or three in fact and buy from Excel Detail. I did my interior in this exact way and it looks purty.

*Best answers will be found over in w/w. I got all of the above before cleaning my car that way.

That 303 protectant works great, my dash looks all shiny now.

Let me ask you this, the 303, do I spray it into a towel or on the surface ? or it makes no difference ?

To apply 303, spray it onto a MF towel moistened with water and then buff with a dry MF towel.

I use the Meguiar's Interior Detailer Wipes, it cleans and leaves a nice shine (not the greasy look or feel):

I use STP protectant. Leaves non-glossy finish that I prefer and cleans well enough. I only use it once a month and use plain MF to clean the dust weekly.

I use Plexus for cleaning and polishing plastics on my motorcycle and helmets, you can find it at a local motorcycle dealership or where motorcycle accessories are sold. It works great on plastics…
