What cleaner & towels can I use on this …

Detailing cars is not my forte so I thought I would ask the experts.

I need to clean my door.

What cloths can I use and what cleaner please ?

I really have no idea what cloths don't scratch the inside of a car

Any specific details on type and brand of cloth would be very much appreciated.


Thank you

P&S Double Black XPress Interior Cleaner.

I would start with that. If it doesn't work, you can try something a bit stronger.

+1 on the P&S Double Black.

I use a detailing brush and spray the brush then lather it on the entire door making sure the brush bristles properly agitate the surface. Don't be afraid to get it on the trim/leather any of that. Just wipe it off with a fresh microfiber towel.

A couple things to note on microfiber towels: make sure the towel isn't one you use on the exterior or any areas that it could pick up course debris that could scratch the door. And if this is a brand new microfiber towel, I would suggest washing it before use (this goes for MF for any purpose).

Cheers!

P&S would be great choice. I would also consider nextzett cockpit premium.
You can use the brush from detail factory or carpro and mf towel from reg company. I just use kirkland mf towel from Costco for interior like hard surfaces, but use reg company mf towel for paint surfaces

Nextzett cockpit or if you need something stronger, nextzett deep plastic cleaner should work. Spray it on a short nap microfiber panel and scrub. I’ve using both for about 10 years and use nothing else. Nextzett APC is also an option. It smells good!

I found TriNova Leather Cleaner works very well for interior hard surfaces like leather and plastic.

I use Kirkland Signature Ultra High Pile Premium Microfiber clothes for most cleaning inside and outside.
