When I am not driving I almost always put the top up. The one exception is when parked in my driveway.
As for cleaning the interior and all the talk about the leather being coated, just use water or you are wasting your money forget it.
Use Aerospace 303 nice natural finish and provides UV protection. A great product to use on the interior.

+1 on the Aerospace 303. Use it on the seats, dash, door panels, etc. Protects and leaves a nice non shiny finish. Leather cleaner/treatment is a waste, will not be absorbed by the seats.

are you guys using the aerospace 303 on the leather with no issues? I would use it for the UV protection but I don't want to mess up the 3lt leather...I usually just use water and microfiber.

I wouldn't use 303 on the interior leather. It's a great product for vinyl and plastic constantly exposed to outdoor UV. However, the tinted OEM windows offer adequate UV protection, and it's only exposed during the times the top is down..

I used to use 303 on the seats and dash with the C6.
With the C7 I only use a damp cloth to wipe them down.
If the seats are showing dirt, I use the damp cloth and mild soap/detergent.

Yes 303 is fine on the leather, as stated a great easy to use product. Will leave a nice natural finish and UV protection. No worries.

It's no better than a damp microfiber towel, and doesn't do a better job. The protective coating is already there, and will not be penetrated. However, it does seem to make people think it's better when they are paying for products.

Don't use Armor-all wipes
I made the mistake of using Armor-All wipes on the dashboard. All it did was attract the "Fuzzies" and lint and it left shiny spots. From now on I only use a damp Chamois on the interior. Works great and stays clean
