Default Interior maintenance

Any ideas on the best method or products needed to keep the interior materials of a vette in good condition? (Dashboard, consol, etc??)

So far I haven't needed anything except distilled water and a Mr Clean sponge (for some scuff marks on the door) to clean the soft-feeling material (dash, door panels, console). I've avoided putting anything else on them for fear that it would make the surface less matte, but I'll probably try some 303 soon.
I use the Meguire's leather wipes (cleaner and condition) on the leather and Meguire's Interior Quik Detailer on the hard plastic.

Just finished a bonding (washing) experience with my C6. It included the Meguiar's, which products I have used for years. Great stuff! I think I heard the seats mooing as I closed the doors.

Hi! I noticed on the DVD that came with the car they said they are
using a new process for the dash and doors and not to put anything on the material. It is hard not to but Im also just using clean water.

thanks for the kudo's guys .....

My personal fav for cleaning the Vette interior is Megs Quik Interior Cleaner. (I dont like the shine from protectants) That said, the UV protection and satin look from 303 Protectant is hard to resist. For leather there is nothing better than Connolys Leather Cleaner. A can of Stoners Invisible Glass is the only item missing.

And your forum discount always applies to each of these items, even when on sale. Keep an eye out as we should have some holiday specials that you wont wanna miss.
