your favorite interior product?

I own and use:

303 Aerospace
Einszett Cockpit
Optimum Protectant Plus

I like them all, but to me Optimum is the longest lasting and most versatile, works really well on leather seats and rubber trim internal/external.
 
Anyone ever use Eagle One? Supposed to be a cleaner / protectant for leather and vinyl in one
 
Interiors:
All kinds of dust, fumes, smoke and dirt builds up inside of a cars interior, much of it is brought in by the driver and passengers, but traffic fumes and air-borne dirt enters via the vehicles ventilation system.
Every single interior surface is affected. Periodically it needs to be thoroughly cleaned to remove pollutants and preserve the original surfaces, ensuring the vehicles like-new condition. The surfaces involved in this cleaning are; glass, vinyl, leather, plastics, fabric, carpets and various acrylic surfaces.
(See Section 10)

To remove stains the surface tension that bonds them must be released, then the stain encapsulated and held in suspension to be removed. I’m repeatedly asked which product is the best interior cleaner. There is no one-product answer; as the so-called all purpose cleaners (APC) do not remove every stain, different stains require different solvents to remove them.

Before cleaning a stain ascertain the material and try detergent and water before using a specific cleaner. Once fabric is clean apply a fabric protection (303TM High Tech Fabric Guard) Between these cleaners you should be able to remove 99% of stains occurring in a vehicle and around the home; Start with a 10:1 solution and decrease dilution as necessary;

I leather in not perforated, you could give a try to Surf City Garage leather conditioner. It's on sale now, awesome deal! $5 for 8 oz, $9 for 16 oz, $15 for 32 oz! if it is, Four Star leather conditioner will be a bit better choice.
Surf City Garage leather conditioner has beeswax, and it might clog up perforation...
Good luck!
 
I don't mind the money. I just want whats best for my interior of the car.

Then check them all out Surf City, Four Star, Wolfgang, and Pinnacle! As price goes up, concentration of lanonin goes up, making leather softer...I really like Four Star for it's wonderfull leather scent. Wolfgang and Pinnacle have the same scent too...
 
I use OPP on my leather, works like a dream. Cost effective to streamline your products if you can. OPP is very versatile.
 
My 2 favorites are Cockpit and DG Marine protectant...Hi UV protection...nice matte look

Okay I'll try the Pinnacle one out for the interior what do you recommend for the exterior?
 
I really like leatherique pristine clean weekly and rejuvenator oil once every three months. I also tried 303 and liked it but I noticed it spotted in some areas. I figured it was from wiping the excess off too fast?

I like it too. Have the new formula of it already. I like it better then 303, as it leaves less gloss, and actually conditions a bit, where 303 just protects.

Exterior trim - Black WOW is the best, hands down. Don't use it on rubber, just plastic trim.
autogeek_2002_38006092


Second best (for looks and durability) would be Einszett Vinyl Rubber care and protectant (Tiefenpfleger), which can be used on both vinyl and rubber...I haven't tried it on rubber though...
autogeek_2002_44734676
 
Man I'm so confused. New to all this but I wanna take care of my car. I know for interior to use Pinnacle. Apply by hands...do i just rub it on or massage the liquid into the leather.

For exterior I was going to use Pinnacle. The Pinnacle shampoo, then paintwork cleansing lotion, then the Souverä Paste Wax and then the Pinnacle Crystal Mist Carnauba Detail Spray.

Is that right or no?
 
Black Wow is used on unpainted exterior plastic trim.

For instance, I use it on the black fender flares and rocker trim on my wife's MINI.

Keep it clear of the paint though. It won't hurt it but it's tough to clean it back off.

If you read the writeup on it there are directions for use.
 
if you mean Optimum protectant plus, yes I have. I liked it so much, I ordered a gallon of it. It just with all the hype I'm hearing about 1Z Cockpit premium, I'm thinking of trying it also.

Thumbs up to OPP but I'm the same place as you.. I don't think I'll be satisfied until 1Z Cockpit Premium gets tried. Yeah, lots of positive hype.
 
Okay but do I need the Black Wow for my car? I don't really know what part on my car are trim :(

any kind of black plastic on the exterior of the car is considered trim. Dont worry man, dont get upset you are in good hand here on autogeek they will not steer you wrong.
