Interior detailing?

I have read on this forum that Lexor is great for the leather seats.

Now, what about the non-leather dash? And the windows? What is the best product out there that will not damage my interior?

Also, will paper towels work, or should I apply the 100% cotton towel method?

The Dash- use M-40 (Meguiars)
The Windows- Windex will do
use the cotton towels, not paper ones

For glass, I use a product called Invisible Glass. You can get it at Wal-Mart. It works because it dries invisible...I HATE WINDEX. I have NEVER used windex when it didn't leave streaks. At first you can't tell, but when the sun hits it just right, there are streaks everywhere.

I agree. I tried invisible glass one day because I saw people selling it at a car show and thats all I've used ever since. It sprays out in a foam so it stays put too and doesnt drip.

Son,

I find the best cleaner you can use on your windows is also free.

Buy yourself a large spray bottle. Add one small drop of dish detergent or car wash soap. Add water, shake well. Enjoy a streak free shine. Do not knock it untill you have tried it.

A penny saved is a penny earned!

Sincerely,

Wilford Brimley

The installer at the tint shop I went to recommended a non-ammonia glass cleaner on the tints. Wilfords (I love you man) tip would be ok. I've been using an Eagle One spray.

Soap and water is the best and cheapest solution to cleaning windows. There's really no point in purchasing any special cleaner for them.
