Saw Auto-zone had Griots and finally decided to give it a shot after hearing about them over the years. I used it to clean the seats off of my M3 ZCP Comp that an idiot passenger had slathered sun tan lotion all over the place. Sprayed it on, left it sitting for 45min came out and all the marks were gone. No rubbing or vaccuming required. Just got some paper towels and buffed up the excess. Now, I'm wondering which of their other products have the same wow factor? Sealant or Best of Show?

 

Ultima shampoo & Ultima interior guard, i use them my self, really good products.

 

Thanks. Will look into them. I'm always testing new things to see what is the best most efficient product for the buck.

 

I use Griot's machine polish 1,2&3 along with the interior cleaner and their random 6 inch orbital with red and orange pads. Their products always give a great result.

 

diluted woolite does wonders for leather.
i used to use all the expensive, brand named stuff and someone told me about woolite.
it does just as good if not better than most of the interior cleaner stuff ive used.

diluted 8 to 1 and still kicks ass.

then i use wolfgags leather conditioner for leather and scotch guard for the lux suede and carpet in my car for protection.

 

Awesome tip BobbyC. Do you let it dry completely and wipe off the residue on leather? Will this also work on cloth seats? Thank you.

 

i let it sit for a min to work in to the stain and just kinda wipe it off.
do a second run with a little more force if the first run doesnt get it all.

for cloth seats, i brush with a rubber brush first to get all hair/large debris out, vacuum, spray woollite on stains and use a very soft brush to brush and pat with a MF towel.

man.. i really need to start detailing for money. lol

 

i also pre-treat all cloth/carpet/suede in my car with automotive scotch guard.
you can get a can for like $5 at walmart and it takes a few hours to treat and air out.
def worth the money.
you just have to repeat it every few months.

 

Thanks BobbyC!

 

Awesome tip BobbyC. Can you be more specific about what type of Woolite cleaner you recommend? I searched on Amazon and there are a bunch of sub-brands.

Woolite Ultra Concentrated Deep Steam formula
Woolite Oxy Deep Stain Remover
