Interior Quick Detailers

An interior quick detailer is the spray for between cleans: it takes dust, fingerprints and light marks off dashboards, trim, screens and consoles and dries without a greasy film. Best sellers include the CarPro Inner, Autobead, Infinity Wax and Shiny Garage detailers.

How to choose

• Finish: most dry to a matte, factory look; Duel Satin Interior Detailer and Dunking Biscuit Spruce leave a satin finish.
• Screens and delicate trim: Infinity Wax and Sam's Detailing list touchscreens and gloss trim, and Infinity Wax also leather and Alcantara; Sonax Profiline Sensitive Surface Detailer is made for soft-touch and textured matte plastics.
• Hygiene: Gyeon Q2M Interior Detailer has a 60% alcohol formula for a hygienic clean.
• Concentrate: Sonax Profiline Interior Detailer is a 1 litre concentrate you dilute into your own bottle from Empty Detailing Bottles.

Good to know

• A quick detailer is for light dirt. Sticky spills, grimy door pulls and marked seats need Interior Cleaners or Interior APCs.
• Around screens and piano black trim, spray onto a clean, soft cloth from Glass & Interior Cloths, not onto the surface: grit in a used cloth scratches gloss trim.

What does an interior quick detailer do?

It is a light, quick clean between proper ones: sprayed on a cloth and wiped over the dash, trim and screens, it lifts dust and fingerprints and leaves a dry, usually matte finish. Sticky spills and grimy door pulls need an interior cleaner instead.
