What do you clean interior with?

So I looked in the Wash and Wax and couldn't find anything specific.
I would like to know if our dash is leather? I need to clean mine but it doesnt look like leather. The seats I know are leather so Im ok with that. What about the rest of the plastic like the rough plastic around the buttons and the smooth plastic trim?
I know what I used on my TL but this car is different.
Would like to know what you all use and any tips would be nice, thanks in advance.

hmm im curious too, im gonna go do an interior detail once the weather goes back up.

we had one 65 degree day during which i waxed it and then the weather went back down to 30s for two weeks lol. I heard people use spray tire shine to get the dash sparkling. Anyone try this? I also read that people use meguiars interior detailer or optimum no rinse shine diluted to like 1:20 concentration

I use turtle wax Ice "interior" spray for the dash since its not leather.

For my seats, arm rest and door arm rests, I use lexol conditioner and cleaner. Works great.

Does the turtle wax spray make your dash shiny? and does the lexol conditioner and cleaner make your seats shiny and slippery?

i used lexxol and no it doesnt make them shiny and slippery.

just make sure you let it sit and air for a a night before you start rubbing you butt in it, i was pleased after my first treatment

turtle wax doesn't make the dash shiny like armor all.

I usually keep me TSX clean so I just wipe down everything with a MF and warm water. And from what I read the newer leather is coated with something so conditioning them makes very little difference.

Or if you car is dirty you can use APC diluted to about 1:20 and its safe on leather.

And for dashboard I would use rubber and vinyl cleaner/conditioner by Meguair's.

I just did a wipe down of everything and it looks brand new again. For my all season mats I spray APC 1:4 and wipe it with MF then power washed it. Looks new again.

The only 'dirt' that gets on the dash for me is dust basically. So I just take a MF and make it moist with a spray bottle and gently wipe off the dust.
