Default Interior Cleaning

Looking for suggestions on something to clean the interior, I use the Zanio leather cleaner on the seats and the dash.... Just wondering what others thoughts were...

I use the same, other than that a damp rag. I use Zaino leather protector on the dash but I spray (diluted) it on a damp rag first so I use only the tiniest amount.

I found the best thing to use is first get all the dust off with a damp cotten towel then i use a unused paint brush to get in all those cracks to clean them out. i like my car to look like it came from the showroom with out stuff on it i personal dont like a shiny dash.

Damp cloth. I haven't put anything on my seats yet but when I do it will be Zaino. However, on the tires and front airdam I use 303 Aerospace Protectant and Stoners on the glass.

To clean my Interior I use Griots Garage Interior Cleaner. This can be used on anything from dash to your leather seats, as well as plastic. It comes in a liquid and a wipe. For UV protection I either use Griots Garage Vinyl/Rubber Dressing or 303 Aerospace Protectant. Both are great products and leave a non greasy finish.
