Any thoughts on how to keep Moonstone clean? The 'grey' is practically white and looks challenging especially in the back seat.
Well the good thing is that it's SofTex so in theory, it should be easier to clean than natural materials. It's essentially plastic (New artificial leather gains increasing Toyota acceptance - SAE International ) so warm, very lightly soaped water should help clean up most things. I don't know what to do about stains (if it does stain). Hopefully those with Misty Grey (Aqua) on their Gen 3s can chime in. Misty Grey was a very light coloured grey that was offered on the Gen 3.
Use 3M Scotchgard for automobiles. Wait until a warm dry day and spray and leave car doors open to dry and ventilate. Its probably a good idea to wear a spray mist facemark when spraying. Spills clean right up- coffee, juice, anything. Twice a year application should do it- unless you have small kids- then 3x a year. I did my Moonstone 2016 interior front and back just after purchase. I have spilled coffee and it cleaned up with a damp paper towel- no stain.
Isn't it better to be cautious about putting unknowns on Softex seats? 3M Scotchgard is a petrochemical product. I'd be pretty wary about slathering that over new Softex seats. I do not know, I'd consult Toyota parts and service first.
I had a couple small marks on my mine. I used Meguiar's Quik Interior Detailer. Did a fine job of cleaning the spots up and didn't seem to harm the Softex at all.
The Meguiar's Quik Interior Detailer has been recommended on a previous post too. think im gonna try that one too. How do you clean the SofTex interior? | PriusChat
