What to use on interior and Rims? Pics included

What do you guys think I should use for my interior. Its a 99 E320 with Grey leather interior but I havent done anything to the interior since i got it in 99. I need to shampoo the carpet and clean the seat etc but don't know what exactly to use.








Also, what is a good rim cleaner? Right now i just use water to clean them and then dry them but I want a real good shine that will last. Thanks.

Get some Autoglym Interior Cleaner; About a gallon by the looks of things You can clean the leather, vinyl, and carpets. For your rims, need a good wheel cleaner like P21S gel or Zymol Wheel Cleaner. You can then give them a light polish. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply. Can i purchase the Autoglym Interior Cleaner locally? How much would it run me? If not, what would your reccomend for local pickup because I can not order online at this time. Thanks.

You know you can probably go to a professional in your area that can steam clean your seats and your dash and your interior. Steamers are quite amazing!

You can also get them to steam or use an extractor to clean up the mats, it might save you some to just get new mats, and get the detailer to work on the interior.

P21S Wheel Cleaner is a great product I use it daily.

What product did you use? It sure doesn't look like Autoglym I recommended. The tacky feel you notice is because of the soap that's in the cleaner. Lower end quality products have lots of soaps and detergent. The autoglym product has very little soap and leaves the carpets plush and clean.

LOL. for the carpet matts i just used water a srubb and a little spray can of some sport remover (its orange). Just extra crap i had at home. I didnt use a vacume tho and let it air out overnight. I think the seats are comming out good but itl just take a LOT OF TIME.

I reccomend the Meguiars Gold Class Rich leather cleaner and conditioner, Its quiet cheap and works brilliantly on my Cayenne S leather removes stains quickly. I highly reccomend it!
