Default Adams Detail Spray

Do any of you use this on the inside for dash and door panels and such as well as outside? I have been using it on the outside for a long time now but recently read it is good for detailing inside too.

I do not have any experience using it on the interior. I do use Adams Interior detailer and leather conditioner on the interior and am very pleased with those products.

I too have the interior detailer. But if the detail spray and interior detail spray are essentially the same then I only need to have one bottle of something in my trunk. I don't put leather condition on any of the leather in my vehicles as the manual says it is not needed..

Adams Detail Spray is a fabulous product with more uses than you can imagine. I have used it very sparingly on dashboards, consoles, and door panels/trim. Leather seats are coated now and need only wet rag and dry towel wipe off.

Try Adams on granite countertops, amazing results. Forget shoe polish, quick wipe off with the pink stuff and they look better than new.

They make a great interior cleaner.

I have yet to have to use anything on the interior. All of that stuff is coated and should clean fine with just a damp cloth unless you get something real messy....so far I've been lucky I guess.

Never, ever use exterior detail spray inside the vehicle. That's a big no-no.

There are specific sprays for inside your vehicle/s.

Well, TBH it simply states detail spray on the bottle. It does not state inside or outside. But..... why do you feel it would not be appropriate to use on the interior surfaces? The surface is already treated as noted above and only needs a damp cloth. I use Adam's interior detail spray now to achieve the "damp cloth" but am curious as to why you think the regular "detail spray" can not be used in place of it.

I have never used it on the interior of the vehicle. I simply use a moist cloth to remove any dirt and use a mini California Duster to pick up the dust.

However, if it works without damaging the interior surfaces, .

I think the issue is that a chemical used on the coating could harm the coating. There's an older "Ask Tadge" segment where he said that. A damp cloth is sufficient. Why risk it? What do you gain?

I would agree with just a damp microfiber wipe down. I'm not an expert on the essence of interior cleaning but I would assume the leather has certain natural oils and such that could be affected with different chemicals. May look good for a while but with continued use could cause cracking, drying, etc....just my .02

I actually spray the interior detail spray on my mini-duster and follow up with the microfiber for the stubborn spots.
