Hey all, I have always just used regular Armor All wipes on my previous cars plastic interior and dash. Being that the RDX has a leather (or leatherette) dash and leather seats what is the best product for a quick wipe down and detailing at home?

I think the regular wipes may damage leather or ruin the finish so I want to make sure I get the right stuff.

 

There are a million interior detailers that are great! I've been using the Turtle Wax Hybrid Interior Mist Detailer lately and I really like it! They also have a glass cleaner and leather cleaner/conditioner in the line-up. Super easy to use and smells great! You can get it anywhere - Amazon, AutoZone, Walmart, etc.

 

How do you guys clean the suede inserts?

 

I have yet to figure that out myself! I am sure someone makes a specific product for it though.

 

 

Simple. Some warm water with a few drops Johnsons baby soap in it (mix it up, get of mice fiber mini towel damp, work into the suede and dry with a dry micro fiber cloth). Zero chemicals, perfect for monthly maintenance.

 

Me personally i don't use anything on my dash or what not. I don't like putting chemicals on it due to it having direct access to the sun and it possibly making it fade or even crack over time. I could be over thinking it but i just simply wipe it off with a detail rag. Or i have a soft little brush i use to brush off the dust.

 

I do keep a clean microfiber in the door pocket to wipe the dash of dust when I see it. I like to drive with windows open so during those times it does get dirty and needs a little more shine.

 

I have a 8 month old so I have plenty of that!! And will also need to be cleaning the rear seat suede frequently soon! I told my wife I will have a no food or snack policy in the car that will also apply to the kid, but we will see how long that lasts….

 

I have used nothing but warm water and a tiny bit of Johnson's baby shampoo when needed and a soft cloth since I purchased my '09 TSX in '09 and it has no dash cracking and the leather looks great. I do have some wear now on the driver's seat and door arm rest but that was from usage and not from anything else.
