Interior cleaning and protection

[pgp]

I have a 2001 Pontiac, It sits outside 24/7. It has a vinyl interior. Should I clean it with your APC deluted 50% and then use VRT, or should I use just Leather/ interior cleaner alone?

How dirty is the interior?

[pgp]

Not too bad, It's tan or beige if that matters. I usually treat it maybe twice a year with what ever I have around Like Armor All. I want to clean it well and use better products for spring.

[Rich]

If it's not really dirty, then just use the Leather and interior cleaner, and follow up with the Leather conditioner to keep it soft.

Hey Dave,

 

Great question,

You should go ahead and use the leather and interior cleaner and follow with VRT or Leather Conditioner. Clean thoroughly to remove residue from previous products and work the VRT or Conditioner in. That should do the trick.

Which way did you go Dave?

[pgp]

I have the APC and L&I cleaner, I will clean it up this weekend with the L&I and see how it turns out. I don't have the Conditioner or VRT yet. I usually pick up at the Carlisle Shows. I read so much about the VRT and I did not realize these could be used inside, since most put it on tires.

VRT can be used on the inside but I like to keep VRT for exterior only and use the Leather Conditioner for the interior. Leather Conditioner has more SPF (65) and since pieces like the dashboard are subject to more direct sunlight, Leather Conditioner is better, plus it makes the interior smell like new.

thats exactly the reason i use Leather Conditioner on the inside.

I did not consider using that since I don't have leather. I do have the cleaner. Thanks for the comments

[Rich]

You really do want to follow up with the conditioner after you've cleaned the vinyl/leather. It'll keep your material soft and protected from the sun,etc.

Does anyone know if the Conditioner and VRT is available in the trial size? Thanks -PGP

I know there were 4 oz bottles of VRT a few weeks ago. I've never seen the LC in a 4 oz. Take a look for Ashley on live support, she would know :thumbsup:

The VRT label doesn't suggest using it on the interior however the Leather conditioner doesn't comment about using it on anything other then leather.

 

Is the leather conditioner the best Adams product to use on the interior items that as NOT leather?

[GerryC]

I use the conditioner on interior plastic and vinyl as well as leather.

[Bill-V8V]

You can use either one, try it on a spot and see what you like better :thumbsup:

 

Different materials like one better than the other, but the LC does have a higher SPF :banana:

I agree, the web site information does not mention all of the uses for these two products. I got confused after reading some of these posts. Still learning

I use the leather conditioner on just about everything on the interior.......steering wheel, dash, console, etc. And the VRT on things on the outside or trunk area........window casing/coves, anthing black plastic in the trunk, tires, etc.

[ridebmxfbm]

Can the leather cleaner and conditioner be used on a vinyl top?

[Rich]

That one I'm not honestly sure enough of to answer. Adam?

[Superdutytd]

I am like 95% sure it can be but not positive.
