Hi, folks,

I'm finishing up my shopping list, and am up in the air on a few things. Can you help?

I already got the Zaino kit, not the ultimate but the other one--total protection, I think it's called. I've got a list for Autopia of almost everything else I need, but a few things are still confusing me:

1) What should I use for my interior? I have leatherette seats. It seems clear I should use 303 Protectant for the dash and leatherette, but that's not a cleaner, right? What should I use to clean the interior? And is there one product that will do good work on the dash, plastic indicator covers, and leatherette seats, or do I need more than one product? I'd like to limit my shopping list, but only if I'm doing right by my car.

2) What should I use for my tires? For wheels, what I'm reading seems to tell me that since my car is new and therefore my wheels are pretty clean, I can rely on just car wash and a brush.

3) Can the answers to #1 or #2 also work for the plastic trim on my exterior (arches, etc.)? Or do I need something _else_ for that?

I'm torn between wanting to keep Logan looking as beautiful as the day he was born, and knowing that I get a bit lazy and won't use 10 million different products...plus wanting to save money where it makes sense to.

Thanks in advance!

 

For interior I use the 303 protector. It is not advertised as a cleaner but it does a good job. 303 does make a cleaner for vinyl tops that would work on the interior, but I doubt you will ever get that dirty .
For the tires & trim I use the Zaino tire product or even the 303 again. For the wheels, I first removed them and used Z2 on the inside and out. Now I can simply wipe the copious brake dust using Z6 and a microfiber. I may be a bit obsessive however - don't feel you have to remove the wheels, but the brake dust, my God, it never ends !!!

For my leatherette seats (and dash and doors too) I use Vinylex.

 

I like 303 for the inside better, too. It has a higher UV rating.

 

Thank you, folks, for the quick replies! Anyone else want to weigh in on tires and arches?
