Wow! That seems like it would be too strong for a car interior. That stuff is powerful paint stripping strong. Even if it doesn't show damage immediately I would think that it could cause long term damage like color fading and degradation of the plastic. I think it eats plastics. There are plastic-safe versions but most of it will be bad. Plus it smells!

Stick with dedicated cleaners for car interiors like 1Z or at most something like Adam's All-purpose cleaner.
