Default interior conditioner?

Thinking of cleaning/conditioning my 08 vert interior. What do you recommend, and how often? Is conditioning necessary?

I love ADAMS leather conditioner and cleaner.Keeps all the leather soft and supple, smells like fresh leather. Use it as often as you like. I do mine around once every month or two.

Read the owners manual - some years are very specific to NOT use any kind of conditioners - some years the offer varying suggestions on conditioners

At 4 yrs/66k miles, our interior still looks good by using the old standby- a warm damp rag. If needed in a spot, just a bit of mild hand soap. Many treatments change the appearance from "clean" to "covered with something", I don't like that.

For instrument lenses, nav screen, etc- blow off the dust with compressed air (gently), then use GM/Delco Glass Cleaner (white foamy stuff in a spray can).

The one exception is the Cashmere plastic sill panels- shoe scuffs often require Magic Eraser, which slowly turns the matte finish into semigloss. Sometimes WD40 helps, but not enough.

I use Aerospace 303, UV protection, clean natural finish, one a month is more than enough.

2-3 applications annually at most. It reduces the smog that ends up all over the glass also.
