Wheel and interior cleaning

New member here!
Just traded in my '99 F250 SD CC Tuesday for a brand new '06 SCREW Lariat.
I obviously have the leather interior, so I need a recommendation on a cleaning/conditioning product for the inside. I have the 20" rims and am looking for advice a cleaning product for them as well.

Thanks and I'm glad to be aboard!!!!

Welcome to the board fellow KY member,
Rockpick who is also from KY is the resident detail go to guy for questions about anything that has to be cleaned. I think he has OCD but thats just me.

I just tell the illeagel immigrants I want a number 4 with no air freshener so I am not the one to answer, but I have been known to us simple green on my wheels and tires for cleaning it seems to get the job done.

Funny, and true!

The best, IMO, is lexol leather treatment. The cleaner is less desireable, but works.

For the wheels, what kinda wheels you got? Chrome, aluminum, polished, etc....

They are the 20" factory rims with a machine finish. Polished.

As long as they aren't high polished to chrome like, any ol wheel cleaner you like will work. If they are high polished (sorry, I can't remember the ones, but a picture would tell a thousand words) then not much of anything but soap and water. I had super polished wheels before, and that sux

I use Simple Green to clean my wheels. I recently tried the 2-step Meguiars leather cleaner & conditioner with aloe. It works great. It removed stuff from the seats in my sister's Mountaineer that other Meguiars leather cleaner wouldn't.
