Default Cleaning the interior

As a first time corvette/Z06 owner, what some good products to keep the interior (seats & dash) looking new?

Thanks,

you'll get many suggestions about Zaino products and some others. Personally - I like a slightly damp cotton towel, a little duster for the vents and a vacuum. These have served me well for many years. :seeya

If you need to use a product with a little more cleaning power than a damp cotton cloth, you might want to consider keeping a Zaino car wash diluted correctly in a 16 oz spray bottle. I dilute it one capful of Zaino car wash to 16 oz.water. I carry it in a cargo net, but you can block and brace it in one of the trunk wells. Not only is it good for interior cleaning, spray on/wipe off, but as you know the Zaino car wash slightly rejuvenates the area cleaned. I also use it to remove bugs debris from the front end, and if I am on a road trip you can use it to clean the rear end after a drive. Not to mention you just bought a whole lot less products!!

I would recommend:

Zaino - Leather Cleaner and also the Leather Conditioner; OR
Meguire's - Leather Cleaner and also the Leather Conditioner

For everything else - use a California (small) duster and portable vacuum with the small attachments.
