I tried to do a search for the best recommended products for cleaning the interior but I couldn't find anything.
Can someone please tell me the best way to clean the interior and the products that I should buy.

Thanks

Yes

lexol leather cleaner and conditioner for the leather.

diluted woolite if your seats are ever especially dirty.

aerospace 303 for the wood and vinyl (dash and trim)

invisible glass for the glass

For the leather I would use either Zaino leather cleaner and then their "Leather in a bottle" conditioner or Lexol leather cleaner and conditioner

For the wood I recommend the Meguiar's Plastic X cleaner.

For the vinyl I recommend Vinylex

Rug shampoo the carpets with a brush then vacuum.

Zaino glass cleaner is terrific

303 Aerospace cleaner is very good for many interior surfaces as well as rubber seals and such.

Good luck, maybe take some before and after pictures, like to see your results

YMMV

Those are all great products others have recommended, your interior should really look great after a day's work, please send some pics.

Yes

for the carpets, i'd recommend picking up a cheap steam cleaner on ebay. i got one for $50 that does a great job. i originally bought it for the house. but it's so small, i had to empty and refill the water 50 times. so now i just use it for the car.

Lexol must really be good. It is mentioned every single time leather products are discussed. Is it for leather cleaning or is it just a conditioner/preservative?

Yes

they make both a cleaner and a conditioner. they're two separate products.

I,ve used both products, they do a great job. Don't buy one without the other, they have never let me down. I try to clean all my leather once a quarter, still looks like new.

I've used both as well and while very good I would put a vote in for the Zaino Leather in a bottle. Not only does it do a superb job of conditioning it leaves the interior smelling as if the leather was brand new. I leave the microfiber I use to buff out the seats under the passenger seat and the car smells great for a long, long time. Just my $.02

Yes

i have the day off and my seats need cleaning. so i'll give zaino a try for comparison anyone know which retailers carry it? i always seem to have a hard time finding a specific cleaning product when i go looking for it.

its just my luck that i get the flu last night so my car detailing is not happening today...and finally a nice day in Toronto...

I use Meguiar's Interior Quick Detailer Spray.....with positive results. Smells great too.

I'm afraid it's only available online

I don't think they have a retail presence in NV.
