Cleaning the inside

I don’t think about it too much. I mix some rug doctor solution and hot water in a squirt bottle maybe 1oz/quart and spray fairly wet a small section at a time. I let it sit for a minute then brush it with a gentle brush. I suck up what I can with my shopvac. Then a take a clean foam sponge quite wet and rub the section followed immediately by the shopvac. That’s the rinse cycle. The worst is my passenger headrest due to the crap my wife puts on her hair. After doing all carpet and seats I open all windows and park it in the sun or hot garage. It’s bone dry in an hour (because Utah low humidity). It’s amazing how dirty the shopvac water is. I power wash or soap and brush my weather techs. 303 all plastic stuff (not clear plastic gauges and head unit) except I leave the weather techs alone. I like the look of the treated mats but hate the slippery more.

 

I actually do this but not with a leaf blower. I use compressed air and there's a lot of dust that comes out of the seats and carpet.

 

I actually use a leaf blower, very high volume of air. Gets all the dust, dirt and crap out.

 

I work in the factory and I get alot of dust also..maybe I should do this

 

Try it, you'll be amazed in how much dust accumulates inside the cab.

 

same here, works great. it's also how I've always cleaned the snow off
my vehicles.... first time the neighbors saw they watched like I was nuts, later
that day all that saw me were doing the same.

 

Slightly off topic but has anyone with a 3rd gen done the all weather flooring? Baby on the way makes me interested.

 

I’m curious as well, no more babies for me though...

 

All Shine Supply. SS Leather/Interior Cleaner, SS Sun Shine Glass Cleaner, SS Dressed Up Interior Dressing, and SS Leather Conditioner on the seats. And also get you some Swiffer 360s.
THE BEST for spot dusting. Keep it in the truck somewhere. I do use Adams Tire and Rubber cleaner on the Husky Liners. That stuff is really good.

 

I also use 303 in the inside dash and trim. Simple green on my weathertechs and cheap sams club glass cleaner.

 

depends on how dirty everything is.

for a quick dusting and light cleaning, whatever good, amonia free glass cleaner i am using on the windows, followed by 303, megs ultimate protectant, Mothers VLR, lucas slickmist if its all i have.

If everything is in need of a thorough cleaning, Megs D101 diluted 10:1 or 15:1, a light brushing and wipe up followed by steam and a clean mf towel to pic up and dirt/cleaner residue. Followed with some type of protectant. I just bought a bottle of car pro perl which i will be switching over to once everything else is used up.

 

I tried perl for the 1st time about a month ago, I am a carpro fanatic. This stuff did not disappoint in the least. I just got a small sample bottle but will be getting a big one soon. It can be diluted to all sorts of ratios for different jobs and it's great in every application i have tried this far. I keep trying other products but always end up back with carpro, other than shine supply wise guy tire cleaner, I havent found anything better than a carpro equivalent. You're gonna love it

 

I have used it on leather. it works well to protect it and give some luster. There is better stuff out there for leather but 303 is safe and works.
I have also used on OEM running boards, not predator brand though. Its safe and works on all plastic so I don't see an issue using it on your steps. One thing is that it will make them very SLIPPERY so don't put any where you step, or anyone else steps, you or your passenger will definitely slip on 303 covered steps

 

I use 303. Best price is usually Amazon.

 

This is by someone who hates the odor of cleaning chemicals...

Vacuum 1st.

Assuming there are no really nasty stains: I spray distilled water (DW) into a high quality microfiber (MF) and wipe. To get dust out of tight cervices (like between panels and in vent), I use foam paint brushes.

When I can see dirt embedded in the vinyl texture that won't come out with the DW (common on the steering wheel, shift knob, armrests and seatbelts): I am currently using Folex with a brush and then finish off with MF+DW.

I spray the carpet with a little Folex, rub with a brush and then spray DW and suck up what I can with my Bissell spotbot hose.

I finish off the vinyl interior by wiping it down with a MF with a little 303 protectant sprayed into it.

The inside of the truck smells like nothing, just the way I like it.
