Default Interior Cleaning/Upkeep Question

This probably been posted before.. but is is hard to search the site.. anyway. I took the vette out for the first time yesterday. everthing was a little dusty.. (was sitting in the garage a month!!) and there are some scuff marks on the vinyl. What is the best general cleaner/conditioner for the vinyl inside the car? I do not want anything that attracts dust or that leaves a high gloss. how bout the leather.. I bought a bottle of meguiars leather conditioner, but I am not feelin to good about using it. any suggestions? I love the zaino products, any experiences there.. Carl?
While we are on the subject, can I use the same vinyl cleaner for the engine compartment?

Want to possibly show the car.. got the exterior done.. not quite sure where to start on the interior?

HELP!!! :confused:
:seeya

If you don't like very shiney you can use the leather conditioner Z-10 or if you like the shiney look use the Z-16. I use Z-16 under my hood all the time also. Hope this helps :yesnod:

Scott, you can use Z-10 or Z-16 as George suggested, there is also a product called 303 http://www.303products.com/main.php?infopage=home it works very well.

Aerospace 303 works well on the interior dash and door panels. It is a satin finish and protects against UV. I never thought of using it under the hood but sounds like a great idea. Thanx gents. :thumbs:

Another vote for 303. Has just enough shine and does a very good job of protecting against UV.

I use it for the interior, weather stripping, under the hood, and on the front spoiler.
