By far the best interior cleaner ever.
Any grocery store should carry it.Cleanning isle,small blue and white box with 2 sponges in it.
I've always liked 409 with a soft bristle brush. Spray on some 409 then let it sit for a min, then scrub it. You need to use alot though.
Whats wrong with Simple Green? I happen to love the stuff. Some people say it leaves a residue, but I didn't notice anything with my clean-up. I just made sure it was clean the way I want it.
Considering how many times I've had my motor in-and-out, I've had some ground-in stuff... Softscrub's Shower Clean has worked pretty well with brush.

Warlock 25 sells some orange cleaner that works pretty well. You mix it 50/50 with water. Stuff also works as a carpet cleaner.
I have tried everything there is and the magic eraser works wonders. I use to swear by Simple green until I used the magic eraser and now I have 5 boxes of the stuff in my garage.

It's not to harsh/abrasive on the Vinyl is it? As I just had my seats done last year, I've always use the 303 protectant on them to help stop dry out etc. But would hate to use something to strong on the surface.
no, the magic eraser isn't a brasive at all. well maybe as abvresive as say,tissue paper. it's made from some synthetic fine sponge material and gets some micro suction(sp?) going on. when using for the first time just buy every damned box of it in stock. you'll save your self a trip back to the store. also kicks ass on rub rails. better than acetone and won't **** up the gel coat wax job. after hitting the interior with the eraser i go over it with the turtle wax interior stuff. floresent green bottle that says 2001 or 2002 on it.:cool:
I just tried the magic erasers. Whoooaaa! They work great. Got all the embedded dark dirt out of my light vinyl. Even cleaned up some wierd staining on the gel coat. The erasor does not seem to use any chemicals or detergents. It's just a funny feeling sponge you dip in water.
I've been trying to keep my boat's vinyl clean for years. Meguires #57 cleaner works great. But the erasers...wow!
My wife had already been using them in the house. And she kept telling me how good they work. Should of tried them earlier.
Magic eraser will out do any almost any cleaner out there,and with way less effort.You actually have to try it to beleive it.
BIOKLEEN is the best I've seen and I've tried just about all of them.
Not that it is hard to sell me on new things, but I bought on the Magic Eraser sponges. Pretty impressive for a little white sponge that appears to have nothing in it. Cleaned the boat seat right up. Took the grime off the leather on the steering wheel in my truck too. That never budged for anything else I tried.

We built a car for him, yes there is a real mr. clean.
Read this thread and asked my girlfriend to pick some (erasers)up at the store while she was out yesterday. WOW!!! She couldn't stop cleaning. These things are like crack-highly addictive. She was trying it on everything she could think of and it worked better than anything ever has. Worked great on lenolium, shower door hardwater stains, sink-you name it. I can't wait to try them on my toys. I hope Costco starts selling these in bulk. Buy them-you won't be dissapointed.-Will
