Interior & detailing tip!!

I have been able to use this site for a lot of valuable information so I thought I would share. I have been doing interior and restorations for quite some time and learned that rather than spending a lot of money on all these cheesy detail products you can use Gojo Hand Cleaner (Make sure it has NO PUMICE!). You can use it for your tires, seats, interior, dash. All you do is rub it and and it degreases and cleans VERY WELL! Then you just have to wipe it off. It also leaves your car with a fresh lemon scent. You can buy a bucket that lasts forever for around $15. Not sure if this is helpful or anybody even cares but I was amazed at how well it worked when I was restoring dashes and trim in my cars.

Does it have to be gojo, or do products like fast orange work too? No stains or anything left from it on on white vinyls?

That is a great tip. Makes sense it would work. This is one of those "Why didn't I think of that" things.

Thanks

I have never tried Fast Orange or anything else. I have cleaned white colors with it and have not had any problems. I would leave it on there over night or anything. I just rub it on and use circular motion to clean and wipe it off.

If you wipe it with a good dry cloth it doesn't leave any oil residue like armor all or other stuff. Try it on something less important and small and see how you like it. Got mine on eBay for $15. Just make sure it doesn't have pumice in it!

I tried the gojo on my all original 57 Cadillac barritz convertible and it ate a hole in my top.

I have never used it on a convertible top and don't know that I would. I personally have never had any problems with it eating through things or deteriating it.

I had read a tip that one could use GoJo to revitalize old, stiff seat vinyl. I followed the directions but it didn't work for me. My vinyl was pretty crispy though. It certainly didn't do any harm.

I had a lady in an antique shop tell me Gojo is what she uses on antique wood furniture, instead of furniture polish or oils. I never tried it but she says its the best shes ever used.
Works great on my dirty hands too
