Interior Cleaner

What you guys use to clean the leather interior and dashboard?
Does it have any side effects?

I only use "303 Aerospace Protectant" now. Its available at Canadian Tire (if in Canada) and I'm guessing a number of chain stores in the US carry it.

The shine isn't too glossy, so you won't go blind, but the product leaves a perfect finish... just enough to make the dash and hard plastic, and even leather, look simply awesome.

However, I prefer Meguiar's leather cleaner and conditioners for the leather, and keep the 303 for vinyl, dash, and hard plastic areas.

There might be something better, but I like the Turtle Wax F21 nano-tech in the green spray bottle. It shines the leather and dash very well I think. It has to say 'nano-technology' on the bottle because the same F21 stuff without the nano-tech doesn't shine well at all.

The center piece (with the seat heater switches) seems to smudge up with anything I've tried so far, so I've found that pure water on a cloth works the best for the center/cubby doors.

I use mothers for the leather interior and armor all for the dash. I need something stronger for the leather though because I am gettin a lot of creases in my drivers seat.

I have been using "Meguiars Gold Class Leather Cleaner/Conditioner"... It makes the seats nice and moist and slippery, not wet or anything though.

Another 303 Aerospace user here, I hate Armor all!!! Too damn sticky and way to glossy. I have converted many people in my family to use the 303 and friends as well. They totally like it a lot better than Armor all. Leather I use Lexol exclusively since I bought the car.

303 for everything except leather. Zaino Leather in a bottle for that, but I don't think it's any better than other leather conditioners. Zaino polish, however is amazing.

I also use Lexol for cleaning and conditioning the leather. I don't like any shine on the dash so i just use water to clean the dash. I ordered a Covercraft shield for the windshield and it works great.

If you don't like shine, trust me, the 303 is GREAT. It gives a sheen that really is almost not even noticeable but really makes the dash look good. I hate glossy dashboards, and the 303 really makes me happy -- it's the perfect shine without being "shiny" if that makes any sense.

I use Lexol for leathre.. The ingredients of Lexol cleaner and conditioner help keep the leather smooth.
My Acura dealer recommended Pro Honda Spray for dashboard clean and wax. This works great.. This is really multipurpose. It also removes any stains on plastic. This also works as wax polish on outer body.
