Hey guys so I'm really getting upset about how the sun is bleachin the inside of my car and I don't have enough money to buy a car cover right now so here's my question...what's the best interior cleaner/shine/UV protectant?

I have all black interior (except the roof), including black leather seats. The doors, center counsel, and dash are all starting to fade quickly. I use ArmorAll to clean the interior now every single week but I didn't know if there was any better cleaning materials out there that you guys knew of.

Also if there is any separate color restore formula that you guys know of please tell me because I really want to make sure my interior stays nice for as long as possible (even though it looks like i'm gonna have to redye it all over the summer) If you guys could help me I would really appreciate it =D

 

I wouldn't use armorall at all, my buddy used to work as a detailer for a local car dealer and he swore against it- saying that most vehicles that had been treated with experienced a brownish tint to their original color (interior) and a higher rate of fade due to the way that the detailer itself works, as it doesn't penetrate and add moisture to what you put it in, but sits on top. I usually use meguires or turtle wax's interior detailing products and they've helped so far.

 

Also, I have the same interior as you.

 

For years I have been told that Armorall looks good when you put it on because it pulls the oils up to the top. Which as we all know is really doing more harm then good. I and alot of others use and like Meguiar's products. On rubber or vinyl I have used Son of a Gun in the past with good results but I use Meguiar's Mirror Glaze Professional Vinyl and Rubber now, it has a UV protection of 40. On leather Meguiar's Gold Class Rich Leather, it has sunblock and aloe. Yes, I know some of this could be a marketing gimick but I have not had really any bad luck with Meguiars. There plastic stuff for highlights is ok but not the best on the market. Also when buying Meguiars if there is two of the same and one says Gold Class get it. Yes, it will cost more but it will be worth it. That is my opinion.

 

A friend of mine owns a show truck which companies have used for there product. He spent $25,000 on the paint job. The people from the company told him to stick away from Meguiars. I will get details the next time I see him to list the number to call the company. I've used the Meguiars plastic (polish i believe) and threw it out. Wolf Gang, Lexol, Pinnacle and Jax Wax make a true professional product for interior.

 

Dont use wax on any inside panels... lol...

 

Just clean it with standard cleaning supplies, and get a good leather conditioner and do that at least once a month.

 

meguiars hands down. the NXT line is superb
