what to clean the interior with??? - Acura Forum

blacknavi · 08-24-04, 11:50 PM

Hello all,
well, I just tried using Armor All for the first time in my new TL, I have the parchment leather with black dash. The matte black color of the dash is now streaked and looks like a$$. Any suggestions??? The texture of the dash and other moldings in the car just do not look right!! Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

I use a damp, soft cloth...that's it.

Armor All is by far the worst product you van use on the interior or exterior. I suggest you look into Lexol and Vinylex. It doesnt give you a look like you just wiped the dash off with Rick James' head.

I've used this for the past 8 years on all of my Honda's and Acura's !
Product company name:
Liqui Tech
Product name:
LVR (Leather, Vinyl, Rubber protectant with Lanolin, special fragrance provides clean and pleasant scent !
Contact for best kept secret of mine:
Liqui-Tech Corporation
Beaver, WV 25813
1-800-637-4527

Here an example of the finished product:

I've tried em all....Zaino (which I'm a Zaino freak, expect this leather stuff is not a good as the Liqui-Tech), Lexol blah blah blah....this is the best product, order it now and you will not be disappointed. I buy my Acura's fresh off the truck, plactic wrapped and take mine dirty and I apply this stuff first hand when I get home.....

I always use Lexol. Works great in my car.

Fabvsix · 08-25-04, 05:33 PM

The only issue with Lexol and others, is a two process application. Having two black on black vehicles, time is precious ! The results of the product I mentioned is just as good if not better ! I always have people asking me "what do you use on your interior ? " Its hard to explain because you can only get it on the Internet ! You'll NEVER see it on store shelves !

Also it has multiple functions as it keep my engine bay flawless too ! This picture was taken when it had 62,000 miles ! Mightly clean uh ? Does Lexol do this ? NOT !

ITL · 09-03-04, 03:08 PM

how much is this stuff?

does it come in a bottle, spray bottle, ....?

Fabvsix · 09-03-04, 03:55 PM

It comes in a standard size spray bottle. However, I buy it in one gallon size at about 50 to 60 bucks not including shipping. IT'S WORTH EVERY DIME ! I'm GIVING MY BEST KEPT SECRET, DON'T BE FOOLISH AND NICKLE AND DIME YOUR INVESTED ACURA ! LOOK AT THE PICTURES I SHARED AGAIN !

BTW: Spray bottle only last about 3 cycles (interior, exterior and engine bay) so that is why I stock up with their large bottle which I believe is a gallon size......

The more coats you add the better and EASIER it get's to maintain ! YOU'LL SPEND TOO MUCH TIME WITH LEXOL ! Trust me !

mr2guysingh · 09-04-04, 02:56 AM

Will this stuff take crack's out of leather?Because our front TSX are ugly...I dont know what to use to clean the inside.Can you order it online or do you have to call them?

Dirt McGirt · 09-07-04, 09:20 AM

Fab, still looks a bit greasy based on that rear seat pic.

Fabvsix · 09-07-04, 12:21 PM

No its not GREASY as the picture indicates !
