no need to get carried away.... spray bottle of water... micro fiber cloth is all that is needed. Condition seats every 6 months... you be fine.

Another vote for 303. Understand that this stuff doesn't just clean, but also offers some UV protection so your interior won't fade as quickly. Read some detailing forums. You don't have to get as involved as some of them do, but like here, there is a wealth of information.

Guys,

 

Look into Lexol, the make a conditioner and cleaner. About a year ago I had to order a new driver seat leather bottom for my Silverado. Somehow I found the company that actually makes the OEM leather seat covers for GM. The owner of the company gave me a great deal on the seat cover, told me only to use Lexol products on everything. He told me to use the cleaner on the top, then apply the conditioner. I did it and you can't tell I only replaced the bottom cover, The cleaner makes it look like the day you bought the truck. The conditioner protects everything from cracking and getting those wear lines in the leather.

 

If any of you need the company name for the OEM Manufacturer of GM'S seat covers let me know....I'll find his card. Also used the Lexol on my 2000 SS Camaro, looks like the day I bought it!

For what its worth on the glass cleaner discussion, my wife and I splurged on a high end leather sofa when we bought our house, we were told to clean it when needed and condition at least once a year, every 6 months was preferable. We were told to use a nice cloth dampened with Windex to clean...have done it in my old Yukon with great results in the past...

 

Armourall is the worst, IMO. You can't touch the steering wheel with it, or it'll be slippery for weeks and the dash shine is outright dangerous in certain conditions.

I don't have any new product suggestions but one tip I have for applying product is use a damp sponge. Spray the product on the sponge and apply to dash, seats, etc.

 

It won't be too thick and it blends it all in even.

I like the "Mothers" leather, vinyl, and plastic cleaner for the seats and steering wheel. It cleans nice and wipes away with no residue......... I've got some Meguiars Professional for the dash - gives it a decent shine without being over the top.

Another vote for 303 Aero Space on the advise of several forum members. I also bought Zaino wax that was recommended earlier in this thread. I have not had the chance to use it yet, but will soon.

My opinion, and sorry to those that use it, but ArmorAll on interiors is for people that don't give a crap about their cars.

 

Don't use glass cleaner on everything either....

 

Use good leather and interior cleaning products that will leave a "natural" feel, like the day you bought it.

 

I myself am about to convert to this stuff: http://www.adamspolishes.com/p-830-adams-leather-interior-care-kit.aspx

 

And a whole bunch of other products from them. Maybe it will make a believer out of me...

 

Adams Polishes. The best stuff!!!!

Best part is their stuff makes and keeps the interior looking the same as when you bought it. That natural look/feel.

Yes! I just touched up my interior the other day and it looks new again!

I clean with general cleaner first ( Motorcycle cleaner is what I had laying around, has a slight oil to it but leaves it clean and not overly shiney ) then I spray with silicon spray and buff the piss out of it. Lasts months on end, never dulls... clean the dust off it and put a mist of silicon on again and it looks brand new.

They make interior spray that dosent leave a film or shine or anything, I forget the exact name but it's a meguiars interior quick spray or something like that
