How long can you go? Interior

How long or how many times do you detail the inside of the car? What does the detail consist of?

I usually vac carpets, wipe down leather with Lexol, but have gone to OPT Protectant Leather for the leather and Dash. What do you guys use?

How about the plastic guages and trim? What do you use?

To me it seems like the interior is harder to keep clean (especially black interior) with all the dust and all in small places, compared to the outside.

Vacuum and dust interior at least once a week. Windows as needed.

Windows as needed (but EVERY time I detail the interior)
My Interior Detail steps
Step 1: Vacuum (seats/floor/dash) & wash all-weather mats
Step 2: Clean and Condition leather (Zymol/Lexol)
Step 3: 303 Protectant on dash, door inserts and weather stripping

I'm tempted to pick up some Megs Quik Interior detailer (too many good reviews) and possibly a leather brush, just to help me get the seats really clean

1) Vacuum bi-weekly spring / summer / fall
2) Windows monthly as needed.
3) Dash and gauges are wiped with a soft M/F towel misted with the Woolite mix, this acts like a dust eliminator with no scrubbing. Dash treated with Megs #40 or 303 evey 4 months or so.
4) Front seats wiped down once a month with the Woolite mix as are the door cards. Treated with Megs #40 or 303. Twice a year all seats done with a conditioner. I prefer the TW Gel.
