Default interior dressing

what do you think I should use to dress the interior of my 2004?
I don't want anything shiny, just maybe like a soft satin shine. i've been told to use this and use that, but I would like to hear from
folks that are as particular as I am. I don't want to junk it up or stink it up. thanks guys. I know I will get some great info.

Adam's Total Interior Detailer. I used 303 Protectant which is good too.

I use Surf City Garage's Voodoo Blend Leather Rejuvenator. It does an awesome job.

I know most like the 303 products however I just started using Chadwick's tire dressing on the interior. It is not too shiny and not greasy at all. And it gives a great flat black look that actually lasts as opposed to other products that fade quickly in the more touched areas like the arm rest/door.

I do not use anything on the dash or doors. Just wipe them down with a moist cloth and follow up with a clean dry cloth. For the seats, steering wheel, shift boot/****, etc., I use Maguires leather conditioner. Adam's makes some very good products also.

They have a daily sale thread in the auto care forum. I tried a couple products now I'm hooked.

I use a mixture of products. I use 303 Aerospace on the dash and door vinyl to help protect my vert interior from the Florida sun. I use Zaino leather conditioner on the seats/leather trim and then Adams VRT on the rubber trim, tires and exterior black trim. I try to save the 303 for only the dash and doors because I like the low gloss/satin-like finish.

Thanks guys. I think I will try 303 first. It's available at Walmart and
O' Reilly's auto parts.
