Interior Cleaning

Don't lynch me for this, but can I use an APC to clean the door cards, leather, etc?

Thinking 1:5 dilution of Flash with Febreze.

Do I need to wipe away with a dry cloth or damp cloth?

I know the leather will need treating afterwards.

Course you can Ian,it's nothing special.Get a Vanish bar,really good for the leather etc

Personally,i use Gliptone for the lovely leather aroma

Yes, have a Vanish bar. However the car is stuck in my garage (long story, see here) which is a few mins walk away from house and I didn't want to lug buckets of water around there if I could avoid it.

Have seen Gliptone mentioned a few times.

I know that a lot of guys have used a Vanish bar to clean their leather. I have and i works very well. I also used it to clean all the cream coloured plastic trip. Theres a thread on here somewhere.

I used Astonish carpet and upholstery cleaner today to clean very dirty carpets. Worked very well. I used a vax to suck up all the muck. I sprayed it on a lot more than the bottle recommended and used the carpet cleaning function of the Vax just to suck the wet out.

Hi I use Rug-Doctor on my carpets and seats; surprising how dirty the water is when emptied for the first time! I use APC diluted in hot water for everything else. Except my wood. For that I use Pledge...

How many cars these day can you honestly say you use Pledge?

Quality or what.

Surely something like this would be more appropriate
