I was just looking for some feedback on how you guys keep your interior clean.

Neb

vacuum, clean wipes (like the armor all ones will work) and McGuires leather cleaner/conditioner for the seats

Wipe it down with a damp microfiber towel. Protect with 303 Aerospace Protectant. Stoner's Invisible Glass for windows. Leather conditioner for seats.

i try to clean my car once a week but then again i just got it, Just pad your feet down before you get into your car and dont eat inside the Z and you should be ok with the interior. like the others said though Vacuum and i like Mcguires interior detailing spray, leaves a really clean look.

The best way is not to let it get dirty. Not a Smart Alex answer but routine simple cleaning delays the need for more serious detailing.

a. A leaf blower is great for the sides, behind and under the seat.
b. Dust weekly with a damp chamois.
c. Glass cleaner on top of glass cleaner on top of more glass cleaner can leave a chemical mess. I prefer a weekly wipe with, you guessed it, a damp chamois.
d. You can toss a lot of stuff (tires, boxes, car parts) in the Z. Be careful: damage to interior plastic is next to impossible to fix.
e. Detailing kit: dust free towels, small brushes, cotton swabs.

Windows up and use AC.

I personally have not tried anything on the interior, but from what I've seen, 303 Aerospace is very popular. CG Silk and shine works too

You are welcome.

This has to be my biggest downfall.

I HAVE to drive with the windows down. I'm a fresh air addict. But it sure does get your interior dirty much faster. I just dont like running the AC for several reasons:

1- gas consumption. Yes, I know that the mileage with the windows down VS AC on and windows up is comparible, but I still believe the AC sucks more gas than just having the windows down.

2- "using" the AC in general. I bought my Z with almost 50k miles on it, and while I am sure there is still plenty of freeon (or whatever is still in there) left, I dont want to be recharging that any time soon.. save it for the days that are REALLY hot. (100+)

3- LOSS OF POWER!!! I feel like I cant enjoy the performance of the car with the AC on. While the Z still has plenty of power left, there is a significant drop of power (as there is with all cars)


I'll drive with my windows down until I start sweating... then I know its time for the windows to go up and the AC back on
