Whats your favorite / go to interior detailer?

I've recently started using Nextzett Cockpit Premium and really like it. Much more than the Griots and McKee's 37 products I used before.

I stopped using it after it damaged a plastic lens on a radio due to overspray. I had not noticed it so etched the plastic.

Returning to my original post in this thread from way back in July 2021, wow, things have really changed since then.

I know that makes me sound like a fan-boy. That's because I am, credit where credit is due because this ADS product is that good..............like their whole product range in fact.

It sounds like ADS is taking us much closer to that mythical "do it all with a single product line" situation

I was thinking the same lol. I like that their Ceramic Spray Sealant beads like a coating. That's one thing Gyeon and Carpro don't have. Their detailer/sealants are kind of average to me. Probably thought it would overlap with Can Coat and Cquarts lite too much.

I have a cart in progress with Hero and a couple of other products but I am waffling...

It appears their moving to the ranks of Gyeon and Griot's Garage, although the latter could use a couple more "updated" products

I've said this a few times, but I don't think I have tried a more cohesive line of products from a single brand. Carpro comes close, but even they have a few duds. It's extremely hard for a company to deliver a benchmark or truly excellent product in each and every segment they play in. You will notice a few standouts, but the rest will be a dud of just "ok". ADS really have bucked that trend, even the less stellar products are top tier great.

I'd say you definitely want Hero, Pilot, Amplify, Adapt and Tire+. Shampoo+ is great too, some say on par with Carpro Reset.

New interior detailer for me is Inner Space from Lithium Auto Care. Love the low sheen/non greasy shine it leaves plus smells pretty good too. Pricier than others

Well, I just pulled the trigger on one each of the products you suggested

I also gave your address to my wife so expect a beatdown one of these days
 
I used to use adams interior detailer, cedarwood scent my favorite.

This year i just find myself wiping down the interior with whatever i have out when doing my exterior wash. Usually ADS adapt cuz i use it for my doorjams and wiping down/drying wheels after.

Sometimes ill use n-914 mix when i have it out to clean the glass.

Im trying to have a less is more type of product. Which is where a rinseless comes in handy. Im curious how hero will do for these tasks. Might have to snag a small bottle on next order to try out

Ethos Fresh is a really good interior detailer. I like that it's safe on all surfaces including the navigation screen.

I like ONR with wax for jambs and such but I haven’t bought any since we moved

I’ve just been using WW strength regular ONR and of course it does just fine

I generally spritz the mats with it at the same time and give them a wipe if I’m not going to pull them out and go full bore on them

I'm not a pro detailer so I'm just doing my own vehicles and with no pets/kids/etc. my interiors just don't get that dirty. Add to that mix the fact that I'm lazy AF and I just wipe down with some ONR when I'm washing or doing bug removal or something on the exterior. Winter here can do a number on the floor mats but I have full coverage heavy duty OEM floormats for both the RL and the Bronco and the 'vette doesn't get driven in that kind of weather. The mats will sometimes see some Perl but that's about it. If I ever plotted out an actual block of time to "do the interior" I imagine I might approach it differently with a more focused product set but for my needs diluted ONR and occasional Perl seems to work fine so far.

That seems odd. I found some "water spots" that seemed to be etched into the airbag cover on my steering wheel, that I later figured out must have been from some gel hand sanitizer I was using during the pandemic, that must have splattered some.

I would be surprised that a Nextzett product would do that...on the other hand, maybe this is why Labocosmetica makes such a big deal about all their products being VDA certified.

I struggle with the interior @ times as much as the exterior on what product.
I do a lot of plain Jane H20 wipe downs on hard and leather surfaces.
No major concerns about any interior product primarily on the console.
Have never had a etch and 1Z/Einzs/Nexzett CP is a huge staple in my use

I do recognize that steering wheels or center console leather (removal of user induced dirt/oils) is cleaner with a ID
However, often I am second guessing am I also drying out the leather. So I find @ times I may come back to applying a conditioner on the seats, steering wheel.....Steering Wheel get's nothing.
 
Anyone in this thread got kiddos. In this thread, PH neutral was a topic piece.

I am absolutely guilty when it comes to cleaning up all things Vinyl - like rear doors, etc with PH of 12. Mainly as it requires zero scrubbing effort and just melt's the stubborn shoe kicks, etc off - similar to how Terminator works so well on tires, my PH 12 cleaner wipes on and wipes off... Of course, heavily post wipe down with H20 spritzes....but sometimes I do use no PH neutral stuff as I'm not scrubbing *harsh rubbing* on the interior material but just using a chem to wipe or off with ease...

I don't have kids at home any longer, but I did raise two and my wife to this day essentially lives in her car during the day due to her job. Needless to say, I've been dealing with messes for a while.

I've found interior clean up to be a two step process. On the really bad areas, I'll use an auto detailing-grade APC on the bad spots and then follow up with an interior detailer. On clean or dusty surfaces I just go straight to the interior detailer.

I don't know the PH level, but I've been consistently using Poorboy's World APC diluted to their recommended interior surface ratio for probably a decade or longer. It's strong enough to clean up a lot of messes, but isn't strong enough at the ratio to damage seating surfaces, plastic, or vinyl.
