Any suggestions for high level disinfectants on the interior? Steering wheel, seats, console and dash, without compromising the interior material?

High level disinfectants.... just how diseased are you????, it dies off in 24 hours on plastics and 3 days on metal surfaces, otherwise, just clean as per normal and relax.

There is this pretty cool video if you are interested:

He goes a little far, but I think a regular Clorox wipe would be cool as well. idk

Soap breaks apart the virus, so anything with soap in it should be enough. BMW says a mild soap solution for much of the interior cleaning anyway, so that should be fine.

I wouldn't use bleach, and I'd worry the disinfectant sprays' solvents might ruin some plastics' finishes...

Leather? I don't know--glad I have vinyl.

Use an ultraviiolet light and zap'm.

I read an article somewhere (jalopnik?) that said factory workers use isopropyl rubbing alcohol to clean surfaces during vehicle assembly. I haven't tried it.

If the only person driving is yourself don't worry about it. The only way any virus was deposited was by you, and that means you're already exposed. I saw a guy driving down the street yesterday, alone in the car, wearing a mask. I don't know who he thought he was going to catch something from.

Funny how they found it 17 days later on the cruise ship surfaces.

In a nutshell, 70% isopropyl alcohol is safe for virtually all car surfaces. Use it sparingly on coated leather (Dakota, Veransca) and avoid it altogether for semi-aniline leathers like Merino or Nappa. Soap and water are safer for coated leather. A good leather cleaner and conditioner are probably best though I don't know how effective they would be against viruses.

Never use bleach or peroxide.

Had every person been off the ship for those 17 days?
I can only reiterate the "facts" that are shared by medical professionals guesswork

According to all reports, researchers found it in cabins which had not been occupied in 17 days and found prior to the disinfection process by a group of researchers.

You'll also notice it was reported by the CDC.

So the data is very credible.

Traces, not live virus, were found. Non virulent.

Traces are live.

No one cares about dead samples.

[2000Z3M]

if you are the only one in your car who cares?

that said, did you do this when h1n1 happened? 60 million had it and 12k died from it in the states alone.

No passenger at the moment...

"In cabins which had not been occupied " is NOT the same as having NO ONE IN THEM DURING THOSE DAYS. The cleaning crew could've checked into them, anyone could've checked the rooms for a whole list of reasons.
Like I said though, the last information I stated was the official info, if they want to change that, then so be it.

Again, this was info released by the CDC.

Occupied does not mean OVERNIGHT GUESTS.

And again, I'm not saying anyone spent the night in the rooms. Did ANYONE for ANY REASON go IN TO THE ROOM during those 17 days???? Is there a method of EXCLUDING the ventilation from specific rooms, highly unlikely. You're arguing minor base facts, without thinking of the entire ship.
Maybe the maid needed another blanket, I'll just pop into that empty room there.....
