Interior cleaning, maintenance.

Hello,

Less than a month into my new X5 and my main priority is keeping it clean and new as long as possible.

Possibly a silly question, but far as the interior, keeping a black interior dust, smudge, dirt free and otherwise looking new as I drive more and more.. . I'm wondering if there are any go to products or 'methods'...

I hastily picked up one of those Armor all multi packs at Costco when I was noticing some dust and after giving a quick wipe, it only left streaks and 'stain' and to be honest looks like shit, far worse than having not used it.

For the record its Individual Black Merino leather, a 'walknappa leather dashboard - 4M5', Piano black trim, anthracite alcantra roof liner. Comfort seats front/ventilated seats.

Adams Total Interior Cleaner is another good product for all surfaces. Armorall wipes are always streaky and really fail on many levels.

I use ammo lather on all surfaces except piano black trim and screens where I use a light mist of invisible glass and a plus microfiber towel to gently pull dust away. The Ammo lather is just a cleaner and doesn't provide a shiny surface which is why I love it.

Thanks, NYCX5M50i - I just looked Ammo up and the lather seams pretty legit. I am not a glossy/shiny surface guy either. Would rather my interior just look brand new, not slick.

Have you used the conditioner from Ammo too? I watch the video on the link and looks pretty good.

I've never used the conditioner. yet. I use MUD TIRE GEL (once again, makes the tires look super clean. Not a crazy gloss). LATHER for interior. SPIT quick detailer (I just keep it on hand incase a bird drops some heat after a fresh wash. I don't generally touch up in-between washes. ill just wash again.) HYDRATE I use when I am drying the car. hope this helps.
