Its been almost a week since I got my car and am loving it. How do you guys clean the interior and exterior of the car? I have a dog and she likes to put her nose everywhere lol and I see those marks on the interior glass already? How can I get rid of them? what should I wipe them with? How about cleaning the leather and dashboard?? How about cleaning the exterior between washes? what is safe to use on the paint?
 
The manual has tips. Model Y Owner's Manual | Tesla — interior water and non-detergent soap. For exterior, I am a big fan of the Optimum No Rinse and Opti Seal. The no rinse uses only 2 gallons and works great - I can wash it in the garage with only an outline of drops around the perimeter of the car. The opti seal is amazing also. Get the Big Red Sponge and a bundle of microfiber cloths and go to town.
 
For the my Tesla Model Y auto glass (inside and out) I only use Invisible Glass in the pump spray bottle. For the outside of the glass I use paper towels for the first pass then a second pass using a clean microfiber cloth so there are no streaks.

Also, Optimum No Rinse (ONR) on a sponge can be used to clean the outside of the windshield, windows, roof and hatch glass.
 
Meguir's interior detailor and outside Chemical Guys Mr Pink+foam cannon then a wipe and dry. I'll use Mckee's SIO2 boost (once every 3 months) on everything outside glass, trim, sheetmetal. The whole car, glass, trim has been ceramic coated hence the Mckees. Finally Chem Guys VRP for tires.
