i use to use alot of off the shelf chemicals like armoral and the like........they often caused more harm then good and left my interior feeling greasy!

now i typically just wipe things down and everything looks good; but i would like to find a nice cleaner that will leave a greasless shine!

as far as the leather all i've ever done is wipe the leather down and use meguires conditioner and cleaner.

anyone have better ideas or suggestions for the perfect clean...........

I use Lexol for my leather seats. Even softens neglected (not totally trashed) leather. They also make a product for vinyl, but I haven't tried it yet.

I use Vinylex by "Lexol." It's a great protectant for vinyl and rubber and doesn't contain any water that can dry out and crack surfaces. Here's a picture:

Kandied91z: Have you tired 'back to black'? I think it was by mothers. I just got some of the stuff, MAN does it clean up the plastics on the oustide of my car. I tried it on the door sil by the window, it looked good. Haven't tried it on the dash itself yet though...

Formula 2001. That stuff in the neon green bottle. It's good. It has UV protection and it smells kinda like new car scent.
