    Hey all,
    The products I have been using to take care of my other vehicles does not seem to work well on the Tundra's interior. The couple products I have used either leaves it stick or dried out.

    I would appreciate any feedback on whats the best to use, and what I should stay away from

    I use pretty much all of the products by Adam's Polishes. I use their Total Interior Detailer for the inside of the truck, it works great. Highly recommend them.

    I use their products as well. The soap gun works so well. The undercarriage spray is great. The glass treatment works great.

    Sale ended on June 11th. They always run promo codes though my guess would be that the next one will probably be for July 4th if not sooner.

    All depends on what you are trying to clean.
    I'll assume you mean the plastics in which case try and stay away from ArmourAll.
    While it looks great initially, it'll cause you grief in the long run as it makes the plastics more prone to sun damage and drying out.
    I'd suggest first that you look at the product to see if it's actually a "cleaner" as opposed to a spray on "protectant"..and use a micro fiber towel as it won't leave streaks, etc.

    I like 303 aerospace for protecting the dash and other plastics. On a sidenote when I bought the truck I noticed how easily everything was scratched, after applying 303 aerospace it is a lot more scratch resistance due to it being slightly slick. At least for the light brushes with your shoes on the door kick panel.

    I use an Auto finesse cleaner for the interior but have yet to figure out what I want as a protectant for the interior plastic.
    On the outside I use their product called "Dressle". It's a water based finishing product that lasts and gives a new look shine as opposed to a greasy type of appearance.
    Chemicals Guys " BareBones" for the wheel wells and any other dark or black underbody trim..just a word of caution with the last product...it's oil based and when wet, it'll pick up everything so give it time to dry.
    As far as Chemical Guys products in general...Meh, they aren't bad but there are better out there. I've recently used their citrus decreased which suggested a minimum of 6 parts water to 1 part product...it didn't actually do much until the mixture was 4:1.

    Any of you guys tried the 303 automotive rather than the aerospace?

    Wondering what the differences are. Says its for use on vinyl, rubber, plastics, etc. Same stuff different bottle?

    Gonna order some of the Adams stuff for the inside, but definitely need something to put on my bumpers and plastic trim on the outside! Thoughts on which would be best?

    Ordered some 303 and Adams Total Interior. Looking at some of their car wash products and I may have to give them a try after reading the reviews.

    Anyone try their "h2o guard and gloss" or butter wax?

    How often is the butter wax supposed to be applied? Thinking about getting both and starting off with the butterwax and then doing the h2o every wash after that until it needs another butterwax.

    I've always been a huge fan of Mother's VLR - it's an amazing cleaner and conditioner. If you have leather it prevents cracking and keeps it clean. It smells great too. It's like $7 for a bottle that will last years, so worth a try.

    +1 for Adams Polishes interior detailer followed by some 303. Got them both in today and gave it a shot and came away very impressed. Will certainly be trying some more of Adams products and using some of the 303 on the outer plastics next wash.
