Best Products for Cleaning Interior?
Hi, I'm new here and I'm trying the find the best products for cleaning the interior. I have the 330i M Sport and I put a ceramic coating on the exterior and am very happy. My husband bought 303 Aerospace Protectant for the dash and Chemical Guys All Surface greenClean for all other surfaces. I don't want to damage the leather and want to make sure I use the right products for the right surfaces. Any help you can provide will be much appreciated! Thanks in advance.

For general upkeep and to remove light stain/dirt, I use Meguiars interior cleaner. For more protecting/cleaning I use BMWs leather cleaner with a horsehair brush. Does a good job at cleaning without damaging/wearing out the leather.

Tuff Stuff Multi-Purpose Foam Cleaner.
Chemical Guys Carpet and Upholstery Shampoo. Black Diamond Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner. Meguiar's Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner. Turtle Wax Power Out! Tip: Use a baby tooth brush and a micro fibre cloth for the interiors... Hope this helps |

I have Meguiars Interior Cleaner and McKees 37 Quick Interior Detailer for light cleaning. Both seem to work well, but the Mckees 37 smells better. For leather I have Wolfgang Leather Cleaner and Leather Conditioner. Any heavy cleaning gets Meguiars All Purpose Cleaner. Looking to pick up a dedicated garage vac as well for the cars. I think I'm going with the Vacumaid GV30 for that.

I always use CarGuys Super Cleaner or Black Diamond Spot Remover to clean the upholstery in my car.

I've used diluted IPA and had no issues. Someone touched the screen with dirty hands and left dirty prints on the screen. That's why I used IPA then and it worked. I don't use it regularly since I keep a microfibre in my glove box that I use often to wipe prints away. And when I clean the interior, I use a damp microfiber to clean the screens and another one to dry it.

In between details I use a 32oz spray bottle with one cap of ONR and the rest distilled water. Just spray it on a microfiber and wipe down each panel. Super quick and leaves things with a nice clean and matte finish.

You can also wipe down the jambs with ONR also while you're at it ChemGuys Inner Clean is decent and safe for touchscreens Whatever you use, just confirm it leaves behind some UV protection |

I would not use too much of any type of glass cleaner on the display surface. Use as little as you can on a microfiber cloth. Last edited by ultrared93; 11-23-2020 at 12:07 PM.. Reason: added info |

I have heard good things about Chemical Guys' products. Mostly I use Adam's Polish Products and some Griot's. I would lean toward not using too much of anything on the touch screens with a microfiber cloth as a previous poster mentioned.
Griot's interior cleaner worked fine on the screens in my 330.

Tons of reviews and ratings of many detailing products on YouTube. There you can judge budget ease of use and performance

What's everyone's favorite cleaner and uv protectant for the ?leather? dash (got an M340) and top part of the interior doors? Looking for something that keeps that matte clean look, but protects it to keep it like new.
Been liking Adam's products. This seems to fit the bill... Just no scent :/ https://adamspolishes.com/products/a...erior-dressing |

If you want a dedicated dressing after you clean those surfaces, 303 Protectant works really nicely too.
