Title: Dashboard/Interior Trim Cleaners
Post by: Anthony in Madrid on 28 August 2011, 23:36:46
OK...So I think now and again you all have to clean the black plastic interior/dash trim in your Migs right?
Right! So what products do you use and why?
All opinions/suggestions as usual, are appreciated. When I was living in the UK I used to use a silicone based cleaner (can't remember it's name now.) Do you?

Best regards
Anthony

Meguiars Natural Shine (Squirt and wipe  ;)) Brings everything up nice, not a silly 'wet' look but it is as it says on the bottle, Natural shine, or Meguiars interior detailer is good  :y

wickes general purpose wipes. they are excellent for cleaning dirt off the plastic in seconds. they also get paint off the cloth when you have nowhere to wash your hands at work,and best wipes there is in my opinion for getting oil and grease off your hands.  :y

baby wipes are great for getting the worst off and the dust followed by a ''coating'' of ''cockpit shine''. :y

If you can find it try Big Orange. Comes in a squirty bottle like any household cleaner. In the UK you won't find it in the major stores but in the pound shops etc. I've found it the best for interior trim. Back to black & most of the cockpit shine products are too shiney relfecting windscreen glare in the sun & attract dust. Big Orange just leaves it looking really clean.

   As for plastic black exteriors i use the same tyre black you dip a paint brush in (usually yellow in colour) but each time you wash the car give both tyres & blacks a good scrub before re applying to avoid build up. Guy. :y
