Default Meguiar's interior detailing wipes, a brief review

I received this product free for attending a meguiar's detailing class, so i decided to give it a try.

I would post pics... but there's not much to show. I give these wipes a 7/10 score.

They do clean dirt rather well, and pick up dust rather well. That said, there were some marks that they could not clean even after vigorous scrubbing, and they left some white flecks from the cloth-like material breaking up.

My interior door panels look much better now, but still not as good as I would like them to look.

Some shoe-scuff marks they could not take off.

These are good for dusting but not much else. Overall, I would not spend money on them... although if you like to eat in your car (shame on you) they could be good for cleaning up accidents. Next time I will try the 303 aerospace stuff.

hint: these are non-oily. Use the oily ones on teh scuff marks, they mask them verrry nice. I use both. Non oily for surfaces my hands touch, and oily for everything else.

Also, a tooth brush and some 409 works really well for scuff marks that are on porous interior surfaces.

hey Wired, you are right, the wipes are really just handy for incidental clean up in between full interior detailings. For more serious stuff I think megs recommends their Quik ID spray (http://www.meguiars.com/?vinyl-rubbe...rior-Detailer).

When I use the wipes I just swipe with light to moderate force and I don't get any issues with the material breaking apart. If you have scuff marks on black plastic you might want to try the GC Trim Detailer (http://www.meguiars.com/?car-trim-mo...Trim-Detailer). Works for me.

I like them because it leaves a matte finish and doesn't leave streaks on the door panels. Plus it smells nice
