Default Newbe Interior HELP Please

I have a 01 coupe and after 6 years of topless driving my interior surfaces have seen better days. I need a product to restore the original color depth to the interior surfaces. I have used various products but after a summers drive or upon leaving the gym contact with the moisture on my leg or arm removes the product and it looks faded again. I just want something that will allow me to protect my car but still drive it.

Thanks Guys.

Have you tried Aerospace 303 ? It's a good product for most of the interior surfaces (I don't use in on the leather) and contains UV blockers to help with the sun damage.

IZ Cockpit Premium is very nice, I have used it on the last 2 cars that I detailed. It has a low gloss.

I also hear good things about Megs quik interior detailer but I have never used it.

I would use Zaino Z26 (Z10 and Z16 = Z26). I mix it up with about 9/10's Z10 and 1/10 Z16 and it will give you a very low gloss matte finish and smells great just like leather. It also has all kinds of good stuff in it for leather and by adding the Z16 you get some good rubber and vinyl preservatives. You can also use either one of them seperatly but I like the mix. If you go with straight Z16 just apply it thin so it is not too shiny.

So can I assume that these products will stay on the car for a while or will resting my arm on the panel on a hot day remove the product and leave me with a dull spot?
