What cleaners do y'all use for the interior of your Durangos? Like for the dash, leather seats, and plastic trim pieces? My Durango is so dusty inside!

 

I use the damp towel I used to dry off my D on all that you mentioned.

SJ02

 

For years I have used a 10:1 or so mixture of water to woolite in a spray bottle. It's safe for all surfaces, yet doesn't leave any kind of nasty residue. I'll typically spray it right on the part (seat, dash, carpet,etc) and use a microfiber towel. For headliners I won't spray it directly on the fabric. I use it for cleaning stuff like door jambs as well when needed.

For really stubborn stuff you can still use a scrub brush or mix it a little stronger.

I also don't feel that it attracts dust much like typical surface treatments like armor all would.

 

I brush and blow the dust off with air, wipe the panels with a wet rag and when it dries I use Meguiars interior detailer to shine everything up. I have cloth seats but my dad has leather and he uses some leather conditioner for his seats, it's made for inside stuff like couches and chairs but it works great, can't remember the name but it's a brownish orange bottle.

 

Heres what I use at home, at work (I detailed professionally for a bit) we had stuff from mopar and a major distributor called DSI.

and for the really tough grease and glue:
Please whatever you guys do don't use silicone based dressings such as armor-all on your interior plastics, its actually worse for them than having nothing at all, and NEVER use it on leather. Use conditioner and pH based cleaner or warm water. Also as stated above compressed air will really help get the lose dirt off and to clean out cracks.

 

I use my pressure washer! [Oops, sorry, that's for my Jeep.]

 

Works good on those or the work trucks with the rubberized flooring thats covered in 100lbs of mud

 

adukart, thanks for those links! Thats exactly what I was looking for.

 

So Armor-all isn't good for interior at all? Let me know because I am going to detail my Durango this weekend because it really need one since a long winter and salt up here in Wisconsin. Glad it finally get warmer and nice out more often.

 

Not particularly. What armor-all does is block uv light. Well todays plastics and vinyl are more resistant to uv deterioration. But since armor-all is silicone based it traps heat like a greenhouse deteriorating it that way, plus the shine creates more of a reflection on the windscreen possibly creating visual impairment. What it does is dries out leather and break down the protection (new leathers for the most part are sealed from the factory, but not all). For leather stick with a quality conditioner. Now you can use a water based dressing that doesn't create such a greenhouse effect and is less shiny (or more shiny just remember it reflects in the windshield more) while blocking UV such as this: http://www.chemicalguys.com/ProductD...ode=TVD_201_16.
I have found armor-all to be good at reconditioning rubber that is not exposed to sunlight such as the door seals. Even helps to keep them from sticking shut in the winter.
