Hi folks just wondering what interior cleaning products (especially for leather) you recommend. I have a charcoal leather interior and am worried about making the leather either look too black or discoloring it. Any recommendations for dashes are also welcome. Thanks.

I use Meguiars cleaner/conditioner wipes. wks good for me. the only problem i have is it kinda leaves the leather slippery. It takes a while to dry.

I have the charcoal leather interior and use Griot's Garage Leather Care on the seats. They say to use their Interior Cleaner first if the leather is heavily soiled. I find that the Leather Care does not leave a greasy finish.

I either just dust off the dash with a dry cloth or wipe it with a cloth dampened with plain water. I don't want to use anything that will leave any gloss. The reflections are bad enough already!

I use the meguiars wipes too and they work really well. I do find they leave excess as well so what I'll do is use one wipe up until there isn't much coming out of it and then go back over with it to remove some of the excess, or use a microfibre cloth that I plan to toss after.

For the dash and the rest I use Vinylex on a sponge.

what about just regular old Armor All?

is there really much difference between that and more expensive products?

When the manufacturer's Web site says that ArmorAll Original is designed for plastic, vinyl, and rubber, I would not want to use it on leather. ArmorAll does make several products designed for use on leather.

i know some people that have used it thru the years, and their interior did not hold up so well. i know the 303 has UV protection, when applied regularly. if you dont use it, it cant protect anything--just like sun block when you go to the water park/beach.
