I use a damp micro fiber towel most of the time ! Once in a while I spray a little Adams Interior Detailer on micro fiber and wipe interior, Mostly to make ME feel that I'm not neglecting car!

We are assuming that you have a 3LT option? If it's 1 or 2LT, the covering is more plastic than leather.....wet/damp micro cloth works best, even on 3LT really. Most the time a damp cloth will clean the seat bolsters too. It they get really bad, then I'll use Orange Leather cleaner. FYI, Blue Levies and Kalahari don't mix, leaves blue stains on side bolster.

Instrument Panel, Leather, Vinyl, Other Plastic Surfaces, Low Gloss Paint Surfaces and
Natural Open Pore Wood Surfaces:
Use a soft microfiber cloth dampened with water to remove dust and loose dirt. For a more thorough cleaning, use a soft microfiber cloth dampened with a mild soap solution. Do not use cleaners that contain silicone or wax-based products. Cleaners containing these solvents can permanently change the appearance and feel of leather or soft trim and are not recommended.

I just use a damp microfiber towel to wipe away any dust/grime. Works well and is gentle on the interior.

A lot of products just leave a film that let's dust stick to the interior. They actually turn cleaning the interior into a vicious cycle. I've never used anything but a feather duster on my dash and after 4 years it looks brand new. I might have used a damp microfiber on it a time or to wipe a little spot off of it.

It is like PU leather nothing made will ever penetrate that stuff to soften it or anything. Wipe it with warm water on a microfiber and maybe put some UV protectant on it if it makes you feel you need to

For basic dust, I use this:

My car is only two years old, so everything still looks nice. If it ever starts to fade or get dirty, I'll use a damp microfiber towel.
