10:1 mixture of woolite & water is my go-to for cleaning the leather.

Yes. My recommendations can be found in the OP...lol

Just made another order based on this, but strayed a bit.

Got the Blackfire wax and blackfire microfiber cleaner/restore. Was able to pick up the wax $20 off (on autogeek), was waiting for it to go on sale for awhile now.

Also picked up the speedmaster trio, excited about these.

Strayed a bit from the wheel cleaner recommendation, went with Meg's wheel cleaner concentrate. I'm all about economical sizes/prices and haven't been disappointed with Meg's so far.

Also picked up a free sample of Blackfire APC, looking to use this in the engine bay.

Free shipping and 15% off for National Love Pets Day (...?), not complaining though.


On a side note, CD7 have you looked into the Rag Company yet for microfiber? Would be interesting to get your review on them compared to other companies.

Really? I honestly re-read it and saw your recommendation for an interior dressing but didn't see anything for general interior cleaning . . . I guess I need to go back to grade school to improve my reading comprehension.

Going back and re-reading AGAIN this is what you use? You haven't noticed any detrimental effects on interior plastics?

All-Purpose Cleaner-

Winner: GTechniq W2 Universal Cleaner Concentrate- W2 has dethroned Adam's APC as my favorite cleaner for a few reasons. One, it's cheap. It's $7 for 100mL. Second, it's incredibly versatile. Selling as a concentrate gives the end user a lot more control in what jobs can be tackled effectively. Third, it works. I have yet to throw anything at it that it hasn't made quick work of. At 10:1 it's a very capably interior cleaner on leather, carpets, plastics.

My interior product is a light cleanser. Otherwise I use APC.

I see, so it's like Adam's Total Interior Detailer (an "all in one" interior product).

I'm almost done with my bottle of that (got it in a mystery box) and to be honest, I actually prefer two-stepping with the Leather and Interior Cleaner followed by the conditioner. The conditioner goes a long way, so I was just going to replace the cleaner. I like the 10:1 Woolite/water suggestion - I was actually wondering if the Adam's cleaner was made up of something very similar.

Just make sure it's 10 parts water, 1 part Woolite (not the other way around). If you google it, you'll see it's a pretty common solution.

I'm equal parts grossed out and flattered that you think I get that much action.
