What is the product you use the clean and protect the dash and leather seats in your c6? I do not want to use Armorall as it leaves a oily feeling on the items it is put on. My GS is new and has not had anything upt on it yet, your suggestions would be welcome.

I use 303 Aerospace for the dash and trim. It does not leave a shiny surface but leaves a nice clean matte look to it. Great stuff.

You can get this product at Forum Vendor - Autogeek.

Mine came with an owner's manual that suggested using just a damp cloth for cleaning. Works fine for me. The leather has a coating on it that water cleans up just fine. You can spend money on other products, but a damp microfiber cloth does the job.

I like the Meguiar's products - http://www.meguiars.com/en/ Over 150K miles on my 07 and the insides still looks great.

I used the the "damp rag" for the first year and a couple months ago purchased the Adams interior kit. The cleaner works on leather and all the rubber/vinyl trim pieces. You can also use the same leather conditioner on the entire interior as well. I'm not to fond of the faux leather smell but it has a nice SPF rating and it leaves a nice matte finish that doesn't attract any dust. It really makes the red in my two tone pop. They recommend protecting once a month but I haven't had to touch it up once in the three months since I first used it. To each his/her own though. Some like that super shine classic armor all. Take a look at some interiors at a local "coffee and cars" and you'll see a variety of cleaners and conditioners. Use the one that most appeals to you.

This is all I've used for eight years of ownership and it has worked perfectly.

I use Turtle Wax Super Protectant when needed. I use it very sparingly. Maybe 2-3 times a year when I think it needs a little pizzaz. It is not real shiny but helps enrich the color. After that I usually use a duster and soap and water as necessary.
It's easy to find too.
