I really love OPC to clean the interior. It will always be part of my arsenal. However, I always like to try new products. Is Griot's Interior Cleaner capable of cleaning soiled panels(dash, doors, etc)? Or, is it more of a maintenance cleaner?

Thanks.
 
I use the interior cleaner on a daily basis. It is very capable of cleaning soiled panels. I've noticed it works exceptionally well when you use it on leather, stearing wheels and on the turn signal trees. In fact, I haven't seen a product that attacks lotions and make up on stearing wheels and turns signals as fast as interior cleaner does. I haven't seen any bleaching either. It is my go to interior cleaner. Price wise, you might find stuff that you can dilute that will be cheaper.

Hope this helps.

I have Griots IC and I've never been that impressed with it. I've only used it for carpet/upholestry, but it seemed to take more product than I would have guessed. Since it can't be diluted, I realized it was going to use up pretty quickly if I used it regularly.

I switched to Folex for carpet/upholestry and haven't looked back.

I will be interested in replies thought, as I'm still looking for a dash cleaner that blows me away.
 
I have the Griots interior cleaner and carpet cleaner and i think they work great. Plus, there odor free so thats a big plus for me.
 
Mark, are you only interested in the Griots product? DP and Ultima both have great interior cleaners in their lines. If you would like info on either of those let me know, I have been using them quite a bit in the past year or so.
 
My favorite still is 1Z cockpit premium, but I really like Griot's Interior Cleaner. It cuts pretty well but not sure if it's as good as OPC. What I like the most is the lack of fragrance, great for those sensitive clients.

Dave, no, not just Griot's. I've actually tried DP interior cleaner and I don't feel it's cleaning ability is anywhere near OPC. I've also tried ultima interior shampoo. While it has good cleaning ability, I've found it to feel grabby when spraying on(no agitating) and wiping off. I'm pretty sure it's the thick viscosity. OPC seems less grabby to wipe off, IME. So, I'm now gonna try Griot's and see how it compares to OPC. Although, I've already learned in this thread that it might not cut as well. I'll put it to the test. You're probably thinking, why not just stick with OPC, Mark? :laughing: Well, I always like comparing products. :dblthumb2:
 
Hey Mark, what it sounds like to me is that what you really need is Megs APC+

Gritos interior cleaner rocks. I buy it by the gallon. I even use it on household stuff like painted doors, fridge handles. Spot cleaning linoleum floorss, etc.

It is odorless and dries clean with no noticable residue. It does have a slightly sudsy character when aggitated.

It works very well for door handles, consoles and the like. If they are textured, you have to work it in a little to get into the crevices.
 
Mark - I've used the Griots IC cleaner and have found it to work exceedingly well. That said, the 4 different interiors I worked on were not that dirty so take this with a grain of salt.

Not to hijack the thread.....

ARKUS: I love the Vettes of that vintage. I'm sure everyone would love a '53 in their garage but there's something about big blocks Im the MAN

I 100% agree on Ultima Interior Shampoo Gel that isnt a Gel. Works great and is the BEST for making rubber mats look great without being slippery! Have you tried it on mats Dave? Didnt mean to hijack your thread Mark but I read a post that said yoou had setttled on products. J/K!
 
Mark, didn't you just post about how you are finally ready to not try any new products? Haha.
 
Griot's Interior cleaner works really well, and is more than strong enough for regular cleaning. I like the fact that it is clear and odor free. However, for really grungy vinyl, Meg's #39 is the stuff. It is much stronger than the Griot's, and is as strong as you would want. In fact, it seems to leave the vinyl softer after you use it, temporarily. However, I have found an APC available by the gallon that is purple that works just as well and can be diluted, so it is much much cheaper.
For regular cleaning though, Griot's remains my favorite.
