That is a huge bottle of leather conditioner. It's probably intended for professional use. I got some of the Turtle Wax Interior Detailer and like it so far. It's easy to use and smells good too. I've been using Nextzett Cockpit Premium which I really like. I also bought some of Turtle Wax glass cleaner and that works well too. I like the mist sprayer especially on exterior glass.

That Turtle Wax interior detailer is one of my favorite new products. I love the sprayer, and I love how quickly it flashes makes wiping the interior down a breeze. I also love that it works perfectly on everything, leather, vinyl, glass, screens, wood, piano black trim. I had products I used for all of those and i have been just using the TW IQD.

I got their leather quick cleaner which I don’t like at all, same sprayer but it leaves the leather feeling really slippery.

I hear their glass cleaner is also good, but I have full bottles of the Koch Chemie Glass cleaner and the Gyeon Glass cleaner. The gyeon is the only cleaner that keeps my Mercedes wipers from chattering.

Im always impressed by an excellent product you can buy in a store




The Gyeon glass cleaner:

I never used many TW products before, but they've been on a roll lately rolling out new innovative products. It's hard to keep up with them. I got their Leather Cleaner Conditioner too and am not sure if I like it or not. I need to give it another try. I want to try the Gyeon glass cleaner. I assume it's safe on tinted glass? I use their Quick Detailer and also use it as a drying aid if needed. It works very well.

They really have been. Historically their products have been terrible, but these new products are very good.

The Leather cleaner/conditioner leaves the leather looking great, but it does away with the supple grabby feeling nicely cleaned and conditioned leather gives you. Thats why I ordered that Koch Chemie Leather Star. I use Colourlock's mild and strong leather cleaners, and then treated with the Leather Star and the result is much, much better.

For leather and vinyl, you NEED these AutoFiber Scrub Ninja pads:

Amazon Amazon

Use a foaming leather cleaner, and the result is amazing. I completely stopped using leather brushes.

The Gyeon Glass is totally tint safe. Its a great glass cleaner, doesn't have a lot of grime cutting ability though, thats why I got that Koch Chemie glass cleaner. For instance on interior windows and sunroofs where there is lots of offgassing etc the Gyeon doesn't do a very good job but the KC cuts right through that kind of stuff.

Here’s the result of just having used that TW Quick Interior Detailer. Literally spray the whole dash, steering wheel, console screens etc down. You can see the finish on each material is perfect…leather and vinyl is perfectly matte, screens and wood and piano black come out perfectly streak free.

That looks really good. I bet it smells good too. I've only used mine once or twice on the center console to remove some dust and fingerprints. Time to hit the rest of the interior with it.

Looks great. Stunning

I honestly can’t believe how much effort you put into the interiors of your car. And you lease them so you return them…I would be so attached with the level of effort you put into them. How do you let them go?

It’s not always easy, but the exciting new car always wins me over lol.

I enjoy detailing cars and trying out new products and all, always have

‘The S class you have is a much better designed interior than the new one.

Yep, I also think your S class is much better looking than whats coming out now. I like the design of the wood steering wheel and the how the dash surrounds the screens.

Yeah the new one has grown on me, but it doesn’t appeal to me the same way this car does. That’s why I really don’t know if I will get another one. Lot of money to pay for a car I don’t really love. Really don’t know what I will get next…

I did the GLC loaner I had inside lol. Wiped it down with this cleaner at least.
