Whats a good one to use? Mainly for dash's and door panels etc.
I use mequires at the mo (purple bottle).

Thanks.

 

Mix up some All Purpose Cleaner to a 10:1 ratio.

I, and many other detailers use APC for a lot of interior jobs and it's usually far more effective than the bottled interior cleaners.

Get a trigger bottle with a foaming trigger head to put it in when you've mixed it and you'll have a great interior cleaner

You'll also get many more uses out of it at stronger ratios like about 4:1 for door shuts, wheels, arches, chassis parts etc. and at the same 10:1 for use as prewash for very dirty lower areas on the car.

You can go for the 'detailing' stuff like Meguiars All Purpose Cleaner, but we generally acknowledge that the supermarket brands like Tesco's 'Daisy' and 'Stardrops' are equally as good and far cheaper.

 

funny enough i use that stuff aswell, just the mequires smells better lol.
So nothing better than that then, ok cheers m8.

 

what is apc
soory to sound daft
cheers

At a guess... All Purpose Cleaner ?

 

Yup, APC - All Purpose Cleaner (sorry so used to all the abbreviations on Detailing World that I tend to use them on other sites).

APC will only clean the surface, it won't leave behind any kind of shine or anything. If you want a more shiney dash and door panels etc. you'll have to follow with some sort of trim dressing, but many people, including myself prefer a more matt, natural look.
