My personal favorite interior cleaner

[CELL]

I picked this tip up a few years ago on autopia and to this day, I swear by it.
For cleaning plastic, rubber, and vinyl components inside or a car or truck..or w/e, use Murphy's Oil Soap.

I usually only use about a 1/4 cup or a little more dilluted in a bucket of hot water.
The results are amazing...
I smoked in my 2005 Scion tC for a year straight. I cleaned the interior out about twice a month and whenever I would do a once over with the hot water and oil soap, the surfaces looked OEM new and smelled new.
Im not into the shine look that people slap on the interior. I prefer my interior to look how it looked when I got it brand new...clean, not greasy looking.

This stuff KILLS most odors...including my heavy smoking.
For convenience, would also recommend a few table spoons in a spray bottle of hot water. Just spray it on and then wipe down with a good sponge.

Steer clear of those chrome looking plastic pieces...the oil soap will streak it and youll have to wipe it off again.

I just found a bottle of that in my basement and it says its for cleaning wood???

and plus i think it offers no UV protection

so i think i will stick with QID and Natural Shine for now

lol the smell of that stuff is kind of weird but not in a bad way, its like nothing i have ever smelled

Before I used Meguiars Interior Detailer, I used Murphy Oil Soap in a spray bottle. Murphy leaves a more natural look just like interior detailer. I dont like shinny vinyl when it didnt come that way.

same
thats why you can use natural shine with QID :D

Meguiars Interior Detailer is realy good, I also like 303 Aerospace Protectant, not too shinny and easy wipe off.

I used Murphys on the interior of my Jimmy (leather seats) and ti did OKAY. I used the Gold Glass Wipes and removed much, much more dirt and grime....

I use a lot of murphys oil up at the car dealership I do work at. Its a great for a low cost, but sometimes smoke leaves more then it can handle. Thats when I get out redhot interior cleaner or meguiars interior cleaner.


The good thing about murphys is the size you can make. When we do big details like f-350's with rubber floors I will use murphys oil just because I can make a 5 gallon wash bucket and scrub everything.
