Interior Car Cleaning
Hey all,
I heard Lenox is great for cleaning the leather, but there are quite a few different versions out there.
Would anyone recommend 1 over another?
Also, what does everyone use to clean the Dashboard and the carpets?
Just looking for suggestions.

How about this spot eliminator: http://www.autogeek.net/wg5000.html. It says you can use it on carpet or cloth.
Adam----
What would you recommend cleaning the red leather with?
As for me with the dash i just use a damp cloth------no shine, but its clean and all looks same (no missing spots ala armor all)

I use Pinnacle/303 Aerospace/Lexol and they all work great. I would never use Armor All on anything though, the horror stories I hear are enough to keep me away.
When I wen't shopping for some Stoner's Invisible Glass at my local auto parts store a man and his wife walked in and he grabbed armor all car wash soap and said to her " Do you know that Armor All is the best thing to clean your car with"? I chuckled.

What about the Armor All car wash -- I have been using it and it seems to work fine -- what is the problem with it?
And finally the Armor All leather care -- OK or bad stuff?

2. Clean the leather/vinyl seats by wiping them down with a damp (water) microfiber towel. For more intensive cleaning you can use a 10:1 mixture of water and woolite (10 parts water, 1 part woolite). This should only be necessary if your seats are stained.
3. Apply 303 Aerospace Protectant or a Lexol product to protect the finished leather/vinyl
I highly recommend 303 Aerospace Protectant because you can use it on finished leather, plastic, rubber, and vinyl. I use it on my seats, door panels, dash, center console, steering wheel, exterior trim, cladding, antenna, etc. I haven't seen 303 sold in stores in, but you can get a bottle online fairly cheap.

Are those horror stories current or old? I have heard things like "don't use armor all, it eats stitching" or "don't use it on your dash because it will crack" but it has been many years and I don't know if they've changed the formula.

Don't know, never used my car as a garbage dump.
