Question · Interior Detailing
What detergent or cleaner is safe on car interior?
Mild all-purpose cleaner diluted 1:10 with water for most surfaces. Leather-specific cleaners for leather. Never household degreasers, never bleach, never ammonia products. The wrong product damages plastic, leather, and fabric.
A mild, pH-neutral interior cleaner, or a diluted all-purpose cleaner (APC) at a ratio of 1:10 or higher, is generally safe for most automotive interior surfaces.

WHEN THIS IS NOT THE RIGHT CALL
