Right now i am using meguiars quik interior detailer, but I am running low. It seems to do alright, it does give a decent smell and clean the dust off, but it gives little to no shine. It just looks clean. I have poorboys trim restorer coming, but I bought that for my exterior trim. It seems like I can use it for my interior. Is there anything else I can buy for just my interior that cleans and shines. I wanted PB trim restorer I guess for my exterior trim. What is everyone using for interior?
 
Optimum Protectant Plus. I like the smell alot (which is crazy because it has a chemical type odor), but it does a great job at cleaning up and protecting the interior.



I have also tried the NXT interior detailer and it has the NXT smell; but that got old after a while. Quick interior detailer, however, is a favorite.
 
Quick interior detailer is a favorite, wow didnt know that. It does a good job taking the dust off, but offers no shine i guess. I will look into OPP.
 
I really like the QID over anything else I have tried... if you are looking for shine though, it is not really going to do much in that dept. It does a great job of presenting a very clean surface though, and that's all I want in my interior.
 
That is true after reading all these interior protectants, it gives a nice new clean trim, not a shiny dress. So I guess i never really had any problems with QID. :) I thought interior sprays wanted to give a nice glossy shine on the inside just like the outside, i guess not.

ok good

I would then recommend cleaning with woolite @10:1

and then Finish Kare protectent (I think it's 108)

if you want OTC Meg has a low shine protectent that I though was good



if you want more shine then that ther are countless protectents you could try
 
If you were going to Carquest anyway to look for DG's car wash concentrate, look for the UD Vinyl & Leather Dressing. It has a fresh, clean scent (better than the eucalyptus scent of Meg's QID) and it leaves a decent shine, although I have to admit I prefer the natural sheen of Meg's Detailer Water-Based dressing diluted at 2:1
 
I tried to search and ya some people were talking about finish kare 108, also that is true about the DG's CWC I was going to get at carquest. The thing is I want to get something off autogeek again. I have a $10 gift certificate. I am just thinking of something to get.
 
I think im going to try OPP, seems that alot like it. Is this for protection after its cleaned or does this provide cleaning also?
 
I use QID on my own car but I'll tell you what else does really well and I haven't heard anyone else mention on here. TOL Best Dressed can be mixed to your taste and dries perfectly to the touch, no grease at all. You can adjust the shine to as little or as much as you want by your dilution. One gallon can be 5 gallons at light sheen, or totally wet (looking not feeling) at 2-3 gallons. Or use it straight as a tire gel. Very versitile.
 
One other thing that you want to look for in an interior detail spray is the slickness that it leaves behind. Sometime more shine means more slickness. I personally do not want slick surface on the interior of my car. That is why OPP+ works well for me. Other however do not mind a slick surface.



One other interior spray that I did not metion that is worth checking into is the Ultima Interior Detailer. This is a great product IMO, becuse it allows you to prtoect your interior for a longer time than other sprays and then also just use the QID for your everyday dustings. I usually apply OPP+ about every two to three weeks. With Ultima you do not have to re-apply for six months (but I would personally recommend every three).

So every time I wash exterior once a week, I always do interior also. What would I use if im not applying OPP+ once a week then? So i guess megs qid would still suit me? Obviously I want interior clean again.
 
+2 on Optimum Protectant Plus



I love this stuff. I always start by cleaning an interior with Woolite & water. After that, I'll take a MF applicator and apply OPP to all surfaces. Even though I've cleaned with Woolite & water, I'll still get some dirt on the applicator so that tells me that OPP cleans pretty well.



OPP gives a nice matte finish and leaves behind good protection. I also like the smell of it. Another good thing about OPP is how it feels after application. It doesn't feel greasy, but like the Optimum description says, it feels almost silky. I also use it on leather as it adds a nice look and feel to the leather.
