Cleaning Pros: Best carpet, floorboard, wheel, interior trim cleaner?

[5spd GT]

List them up!

I especially want the best carpet cleaner to use to get stains and smell out, along with the best method to do it

Also, what is the 'best' interior trim cleaner?

Wheel cleaner?

Floorboard cleaner? (when carpet is removed).

This is especially nice, if you have used more than one product, I would like to know what worked best

Thanks guys...

OK, I'll help ...

--> For the engine bay, use simple green.

--> Carpet .. I've used a bunch of stuff and much of it is the same. If you don't have like a "little green clean machine" then the best stuff I've used is "resolve high traffic" (aerosol type). You basically spray it on, the foam dies down, dries, and then you vacuum. It works well. After that, use some scotchgard type stuff (303 Aerospace makes an awesome water repellent).

FWIW, I learned/read a trick for how to get the smell out back when I did my truck's carpet. After you clean it and it dries, sprinkle some baking soda on the floor mats/carpet and leave it for a few days. Then just vacuum it up. It worked wonders in my truck.

--> To clean your interior, Mr. Clean magic eraser followed by a protectant of your choice (I prefer 303 AP).

--> For windows, I've found a few glass cleaners that don't streak and work good (unlike windex type stuff). Motorcraft glass cleaner, 3M glass cleaner, hot/wet washcloth followed by dry paper towels or newspaper (makes them more shiny, hands get dirty).

What else???
