Interior
« on: 19 September 2017, 10:46 »
Hi

Any recommendations on best products to use on the interior finish in GTD MK7 ? the centre console etc has a black/grey finish the name escapes me what its called but sure you guys will know :)

Normally use Meguiars products but wonder if anything better ?

Thanks

This.

Or this

http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/interior/auto-finesse-total-interior-cleaner-500ml/prod_1120.html

The former is fantastic on all interior trim, be it shiny or matt.  It's fairly thick so not advised to soray on but instead dispense onto a soft fine microfibre and work over the trim then buff off with a plush MF after a few mins. It restores and preserves matt finishes but works equally well on piano black gloss trim which it keeps glossy.  Importantly it does not leave any trace of sticky residue (provided you buff it off properly) unlike some Meguiars interior products which I found did.

The Auto Finesse Total Interior Cleaner is asoraybon/buff off product and a very good all rounder and easy to use.

Not a bad chance of products, but bear in mind that the price before coupons at Euro Car Parts is usually wildly inflated - e.g. Revive 250ml is £7.95 direct from Auto Finesse.

All have some carbon trim.

Depends what your idea of a nice smell is.  DoDo Juice interior products only ok ime, and mediocre.  Chemical Guys Inner Clean is nice and smells fresh.  http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/interior/chemical-guys-inner-clean/prod_1098.html

Auto Finesse Total Interior Cleaner (mentioned in earlier post) is very good all rounder and has a pleasant subtle smell.

Thanks will have a look i think i am swaying towards the Auto Finesse it gets rave reviews everywhere :) you obviously know your stuff on this - can you recommend a good glass cleaner and protector like rain x or similar ?

I would like to invest in a full detail of the car but not sure costs etc for this kind of thing  :undecided:
