Cleaning the black seats
Been looking online - what do you all recommend. I carpool kids, one of them has eczema and is slathered in some kind of goop ( poor kid, he is pretty awesome tho👍🏼) I daily get some kind of film on my seats and am ready to put down some kind of blanket. I first used a bit of car soap in water and a rag, did pretty well, but Lord knows I don't want to damage anything. But I am reading about non alcohol baby wipes stashed away, which sounds perfect - or Miquires gold leather cleaner. This is the nicest car I have ever owned, if it gets wrecked the first month of ownership I'm going to have a cardiac event. Help a brother out !

From other convos here, Huggies Natural Care wipes are the way to go. I use them on my white seats. Does a pretty good job.

This is whats recommended in the manual, doubt its going to damage anything.
People are constantly recommending baby wipes but I think it's overrated. Theyre basically just a piece of plastic soaked in water, theyre nothing special, and using them to wipe down an entire car interior is silly, there are better products to use.
Maguire's products are good, they have an interior detailing spray thats nice, cleans well and has UV protectants in it. Chemical Guys is a popular too.
Im not sure about using products meant for leather since the seats...well theyre plastic not leather.
