does anyone have any good methods of cleaning the interior? I used some methanol and it took off color on the plastics so is there a less harsh chemical I can use that works?

I do like the dirt but I also like to look civilized when I go back to town

 

ArmorAll. Don't use alcohol. It will dry out the interior and not provide UV protection.

 

If you are talking about the leather, use only saddle soap and Lexol, don't use any of the crap sold in the parts store it will dry out your leather.

 

Armor All makes some great wipe type of products, I use the all purpose wipes on the interior and the leather wipes on the leather.
I had bought a thing of McQuires leather care cleaner stuff and it did no better job than the Armor All wipes.

 

We Are Car Care -- Car Wax, Car Polish, Auto Detailing Supplies, Car Buffers & Car Accessories Store Has a bunch of products. And there are some how to's that are interesting. Some products are a bit expensive. But most interior stuff isn't as oily as Armorall. Should find anything you need here. Detailers use products on here
