Cleaning Ranger Raptor Interior

[wlarsen76]

The material on the RR isn't something I'm used to cleaning.
Does anyone have any recommendations on any interior product cleaning?
What is the material. Is it leather or some other synthetic material?

Steering wheel is leather wrapped and leather trimmed seats. Any standard products are going to work, theres nothing exotic. Below are the products I would use/do use.

* Invisible glass for the windows
* Meguirs Ultimate or gold leather/vinyl products. Some of this is gonna come down to you want shiny or matte finish.
* Meguirs Ultimate/Quik interior Detailer (also comes down to you want shiny or matte finish).
* Buy a box of disposable microfiber towels.

For the most part, there wont be a ton to clean, its mostly dust maintenance. There are some additional products you could look at to seal from large spills and stuff, but that's generally over kill. Once a month wiping down the seats with something is generally recommended to keep things from cracking.

Thanks! Do you have any idea what that soft material is on the dashboard? It feels like suede... Not sure if that can use standard cleaners or not.. ??

That looks to be some type of suede / alcantara type material. Rule of thumb for that is dont touch it. The less handling of it the better as it will absorb oils and wear out easily with lots of repeated handling. Unless you spill something on it and it stains, shouldnt be anything you need to actually do with it.

If you absolutely must do something with it, a damp microfiber towel in warm water should be good enough, normally though, there isnt anything you need to do beyond let it be. If you live on the sun, you could look at any type of carpet cleaner (sonax makes a good upholstery alcantara product) that you could give it a rub down once a month or so. Alcantara will turn "crunchy" over years of exposure to direct sun.

Moist towel (Water only) and that should clean it up from most things.

Moist microfiber for light cleaning. Heavier duty cleaning, I use Sonax Alcantara Cleaner on my sports cars so will likely use on this. I just don't think this is real alcantara, seemingly synthetic, but I'll still use that as it's gentle and works great on my 350R steering wheel / seats!
