I was detailing my MME Premium 25 yesterday. What is the best way to clean the black shiny plastic without leaving streaks, etc. I was using a microfiber cloth but still getting streaks.

What is a great vacuum which will get down into the cracks around the seat?

How can i get the stuff near the cracks near the edges of the parking break, hazard light?

I use the narrow attachment on my regular vacuum (long and thin one). For the shiny stuff I use paper towel and Windex.

I carry a makeup brush in all my cars for brushing dust out of vents, cracks, buttons, soft and fluffy and effective.

These are the tools and products I use to keep my interior clean:

1) A Ryobi 1-gallon vacuum. The flexible hose and the small nozzle allow you to vacuum the smallest areas.

2) An ultra soft detailing brush set, like this one on Amazon:

You can use the brushes to gently push dirt and dust out of hard to reach areas. If you use a cleaning solution, you can use a detailing brush to work the cleaner into a small area without scratching the surface.

3) Mckees 37 Fast Interior Detailer - My favorite interior cleaner. It cleans well, leaves behind some UV protection, and smells amazing.

Personally, I would not use paper towels on any shiny surface. Too much of a risk of inducing small scratches. I instead use clean, soft microfiber towels.

Agree 100%. Clean microfiber is the way. Paper towels do leave fine scratches.
