Does anyone have any tips for keeping the black interior of the FX4 clean? I use Armor All cleaning wipes (not the orignal protectant, as that left streaks all over my 07 XLT) and while its ok to use on the dash and steering wheel, it leaves streaks all over the radio bezel. Does anyone have any tips as what to use to clean it to keep it streak and dust free? Dust accumulates and shows like crazy on the black surfaces.

Thanks!

 

use some stuff called "ice interior cleaner". cant remember who makes it but its good stuff. I use it for the interior, exterior and the wash/wax.

I also have some turtle wax interior cleaner that works very well to. Im not a big fan of "Harmor All". It tends to dry out your dash and doesnt protect to well against uv rays

 

Meguiars quick interior detailer has always worked well for me

 

I've been using Mothers Protectant in my '06 and I'm pretty happy with it also. No streaks.

 

I find Pledge multi-surface spray/cleaner works well to clean as its as good on glass AND plastic But its won't give you the shine.

 

Use a California mini duster to remove dust from the interior surfaces. Try not to use too much of the stuff that makes surfaces slick because it causes dust and dirt to stick to the surfaces.

 

turtle wax ice!

an old man that has been recovering seats dashes and interiorsfor about 50 years recommended to me to stay clear of armor all, and armor all related products. all he told me was that the additive they use to "shine" is a wax based substance that when shining it will clog the pores of the material that it's being used on, thus not allowing the material (plastic, vinyl, leather ect) to breathe and expand and contract like it should with temp variations. this is what causes the cracking in most dashes and seats he said.

he told me that armor all has been keeping him in business for years and years, he'll tell people about it and some listen most don't. so he'll just recover what ever they bring him, how ever many times they want.

 

Theres a complete website dedicated to detailing. www.autogeek.net It's really cool and they have a bunch of neat stuff. that place will explain everything and why not to use armorall.

 

Does this include the cleaning wipes?

 

he really didn't say about the cleaning wipes.
