Cleaned out the inside of my GTI today and thought I would do some really quick review/comments on them. Now forgive me for not doing detailed reviews but thought I would at least comment on some of the products. -Swissvax Crystal: This is still my favorite glass cleaner, works great cutting through grime and film and always has left a streak free finish. I use the glass paper towels that PAC sold, lucky I have one box unopened but will have to find a new source once that runs out. -Swissvax Seal Feed: I have been using this more and more over 1z due to the thicker consistency but works well so far and little dab will go a long ways. I use a 1" foam brush to ease the application of it. -Swissvax Protection Matt: The perfect amount of darkening affect and sheen, on the expensive side but dont use too much and really only use it on the dash -Scholl Concepts Purple 9000: Another nice interior dressing/light cleaner. I use this everywhere else in the car but still my favorite with SV Protection -LM Strong Cleaner: In a foaming bottle with a Uber Leather Brush it makes quick work of leather seats -RaceGlaze Leather Conditioner: Nice conditioner that darkens leather a bit and also spreads pretty far with a little dab. Makes quick qick work and leaves the seats feeling good and light leather scent. -1z KlimaCleaner: Nothing else like it for the price, I use half a bottle per use as i typically use it 2x a year. Works great to keep the A/C system clean and fresh Like I said just some quick comments that may help someone out...if anyone has questions or wants a detailed answer on something just ask..!
The cabin filter "might" get wet with Klima depending on it's design/location. My cabin filter gets a little bit wet whenever I do a full bottle (06 Highlander- filter sits horizontally). I don't have that issue with my 00 Maxima (filter sits vertically). The Klima is antibacterial so you don't have to worry about mold. I change the cabin filter every time I do a full klima bottle (once a year). I don't change it when I'm applying half a bottle (every six months).
This AC cleaner, has me interested I may try it on my grandfather's TL(2003) I don't think it's ever been done before on it. It's not like the AC smells or anything it's just I like having a fresh smelling AC but I won't need it for a couple of months now.
I like it, little thicker than 1z and seems to be working pretty well. Find that I am using less than i would with 1z but price per use would be same of little but more with SV. I am pleased with it. Works great to get rid of A/C smells but as you dont have it still not a bad idea to clean it up a bit. Never hurts.
