Best interior cleaners?

I'm in the process of deep cleaning my truck, and I was wondering what you guys use to do so. I have the 303 Protecetant, but that's really more of a coating, and I am worried if I use the wrong stuff I'll dry out the interior materials. More specifically, my shifter looks way nastier than it should... Anyways, be curious to see what y'all say.
Thanks!

 

All purpose cleaner that is Diluted. I use simple green. Spray it on, and Agitate with a soft brush. Then wipe off with a microfiber towel.

 

Diluted Formula 88 all purpose cleaner is what I use for interior pannel grime if it's really bad.

For general cleaning I use further diluted 88 or ONR at detailing strength. (One cap in 32oz of distilled water.)

 

I use this: https://www.chemicalguys.com/nonsen....html?gtmListValue=Category: interior-cleaner

 

I don't like Simple Green, it leaves some emulsifier residue that feels greasy long term and when it final does dissipate it seems to dry stuff out in my experience.

 

I used a rag sprayed with Lysol cleaner. Did an amazing job of removing years of dirt and grime.

I'm trying to figure out what to clean my cloth seats with.

 

Generally you want to avoid alcohols on plastic and leather.. Really anything you care about long term that's already subject to cracking/drying out.

 

An upholstery steamer is most ideal.

Air compressor, Dyson pet tool and Folex is what I use.

 

Shifter and steering wheel I've always gotten by with a rag and regular ol water & some good friction due to them being more rubberized. Can follow up with some protectant.

 

Mother's VLR works FANTASTIC on all the "soft touch" trim pieces like the auto shifter and steering wheel.

Also agree with the steamer, especially for the interior panels that have the grain texture on them such as the B-pillars. Folex is also great. I use it in my home and in my cars.

 

I use brake parts cleaner to get stains out of cloth. Spot clean only and rub w rag. Works amazing.

 

409 and one of those dual sided sponges.

(don't put the sponge back in the kitchen, lol)

P.S. Dear god, you still have the original tape player?!

 

Maybe he's a simple man, from a simple time. lol

As a side note to how old a tape deck in a vehicle is...

I saw a reel on instagram where a high school had a "2000's day" during their spirit week and... oof... that made me feel old. I graduated HS in '07.

I also don't like being referred to as a "Late 1900's baby"...

 

Chemical guys No Nonsense is amazing with a detail brush. Can condition/coat with anything you want after that, but as a cleaner is my current favorite. I also like their Silk Shine dressing but it takes a few applications to really soak in and stay shiny.

 

white vinegar mixed with warm water

 

I graduated in HS '97... Not even this century, man!

I had to wait for my older brother to get off the phone before I could boot up my 386 and *dial* up the internet.

 

Lavender Fabuloso will knock your socks off!

 

Use a solution of Dawn dishwashing liquid and warm water. Clean and wipe dry with a microfibre towel. I use it for all interior parts. Also for the inside windshield
