I like Armor-All's "Detailers Choice". It lasts. Also, it dries to a matte sheen and is not greasey or shiny looking.

I've been using Meguiars NXT Tech Protectant. It definitely makes the dash shiney, but that's what I wanted. Looks almost wet 
. All depends what you're going for I guess.
That 303 stuff sounds good also, have heard great things. I think I'll give that stuff a try next.

Funny you bring this up. I just learned how the bolster gets wear on it from sliding your rear end across it as you are getting in. When the car is brand new the leather doesn't allow much for sliding. Noticed with just 150 miles on the car that I was wearing that area...barely, but I noticed it. One of the first things that all people should do is put SOMETHING on those seats to allow a slide as opposed to a drag across that bolster. I personally use the armor all leather wipes and they work great. Also noticed that new leather noticeably sucks that stuff up compared to my C5 which had 30k on it.

Armorall was ok in the 70's....now there are plenty of improved products that left Armorall in the dust....

It's a dull finish (I'm only talking about the ebony interior).
Why would you want to have to constantly be putting something on the interior when just a light dusting will do? Once you put it on, you can never take it off!
All that stuff does is attract and hold dust. JMHO
