I have been using standard cleaning products for years. I wanted to know if there are better products I should be using.

Current products:

Meguiar's gold class car wash shampoo
Meguiar's final inspection
ArmorAll (tires only)
Rain X foam glass cleaner
Lexol Vinylex
Lexol leather cleaner
Lexol leather conditioner

thanks for the message yes there are plenty of products out there that great replacements for the above.

Do you like the greasy shiny look? The products above give you a heavy coat/shine.

lmk so I can figure out what would be best.

Not really. I like shiny tires but not the interior.

Thank you for the suggestions. Will the Einszett Cockpit have some sheen. I'm not locking for glossy, but the interior is looking a little dull.

You should get a wax. If you like meguiars products try the NXT 2.0 wax. I have been using it for the last 2 years and I like it. Only $18. Now I am upgrading my arsenal to better products. The NXT 2.0 has great water beading btw it looks really cool when it rains!
