What type of interior cleaner do you use for dash, floorboard, and door areas of your car? I have been using a no shine spray to clean and detail (meaning no glossy look or wet look), but no matter how hard I try, the spray leaves spotty results on my black dash and door areas. I’ve reapplied and buffed with a soft rag- still splotches of darker areas and lighter areas. Is there a product you might recommend that will detail evenly? Thanks for your help.

I use Meguiar’s quick interior detailer. It leaves no spots.

Read the instruction on the bottle because some of them need to be diluted.Usually 1 to 10

I use a clean rag well-wetted in water with some Ivory dishwashing liquid. I then rinse with another clean rag well-wetted with plain water.

I personally do not like that shiny look and greasy feel left by some popular “protectants”.

I know the spots you mean and I quit on anything other than a mild cleaner long ago. I have had good luck with Griot’s interior cleaner. I found it worked well on all the surfaces. [Here is more info and some images from our partner site BestRide if interested](http://bestride.com/research/tips-and-tricks/tips-and-tricks-for-convertible-owners-care-and-cleaning-of-a-drop-top). Just FYI, I have never received anything of value, not even a free sample, from Griot.

I like using 303 protectant since it has UV protection and is not greasy.

I switched to Armor All original. No shine.

This product removed the spotting and went on evenly.

I’ll keep using it and see if the results continue.
