Wanted to know if anyone knows an interior cleaner for the dashboard that does not leave a greasy feel and shiny look. Also what do you use to clean the interior wood trim? Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Toni

My interior guru, the best in Phoenix, recommends using Mequiars leather wipes on all leather and vinyl surfaces. They have worked well for me. Absolutely use no Armoral type products.

I generally just wipe the dash with a wet microfiber. For cleaning the leather I use a mixture of 1 part Woolite mixed with 5 parts water in a spray bottle. To dress the leather I use Lexol. I've heard that Meguiars has a good interior detailing spray that does not leave a glossy tint, but so far have not really had a need for the product.

I use leather cleaner.
DO NOT use ArmorAll, or anything like that.
Personally, I like to use AutoGlym leather cleaner & conditioner for my interior (leather, dash, etc...)
It works well, and dries to a matte finish.... not greasy or shiny.

meguires has an "interior quick detailer" which i love. use it on everything and does a great job.
for the leather i use mothers leather cleaner...its quick and easy, does a good job, and isnt greasy. i hear zaino has a great leather cleaner which im hoping to try this summer.

Thanks so much everyone . I wrote down a bunch of products and will go shopping this weekend. What do you use on the interior wood trim? I find that a lot of products make it look streaky.
Thanks again, Toni

I use the ZAINO products: Leather cleaner and leather conditioner. Once you use the products you will be amazed. First off the conditioner does not make the leather shiny, and best of all, I HAVE NEVER smelled anything that was an exact replica of leather smell, its incredible, goto http://www.zainostore.com/,
