Meguiar's Interior Quick Detailer

303 Leather 3-in-1 Leather Complete Care

Neither of these are removing the sweat marks (leather), scuffs (plastic), and just general interior imperfections that I would expect a cleaner to remove. For example, some sweat marks just will not come off the leather head-rest, despite me scrubbing with both of them separately (on separate micro-fiber cloths). Truck has been owned for 6 weeks and 2000 miles. These are not stains from years ago.

What's you're best interior cleaners that are safe for the Raptor's surfaces?

Not raptor specific but Chemical Guys Leather Cleaner, then Chemical Guys Leather Conditioner. Can't say I have had the same sweat situation as you but this works on anything I have thrown at it. May want to get a drill-brush if it doesn't work with a standard interior brush.

Edit: for the scuff marks Chemical Guys VRP and may need drill-brush as above.

Quick interior detailers are not really cleaners, more for dust and such, any kind of real dirt not cleaned right away will need a real cleaner much like cleaning the outside of your car which sometimes you need a maintenance wash and other times you need a real cleaner. I would recommend you buy the meguiars detailer all purpose cleaner from amazon which you dilute however you want. Works great on leather and plastics. Use an interior brush to clean the leather using circular motions and let the cleaner do the work.

Thanks, guys. The idea of an "interior brush" is new to me. I've just been using microfiber towels.

Horse Hair brush, Interior cleaner - brush lightly until somewhat "foamy" - wipe dry with microfiber. Do one seat at a time. If still stained m(after it dries), repeat but apply more pressure. Afterwards use leather conditioner and it may be possible to wipe off future stains.

Ordered a variety of chemical guys products mentioned here plus a chemical guys horsehair brush and an assortment of drill brushes. This should do the trick. Thanks, all!

I use the chemical guys stuff that was mentioned earlier. I also use their carpet cleaner with the yellow drill brush is the best thing I have ever used. My carpets are like brand new.

I needed to clean my WeatherTech floor mats recently so I purchased their cleaner and conditioner. While I was at it I bought their interior detailer and anti-fog window cleaner. I have been impressed with all four. I had a couple dirty spots that weren't as tough as you describe but I didn't think they would clean up easily. To my surprise they did. I'm at only 5k miles myself. Good luck.
