Interior cleaning

What products do you guys recommend for taking care of your dash board and all other interior materials? My interior is looking out dated these days, especially the coloring..

Wipe it down with a moist m/f first. Then protect it with 303 or use Meguiar's #40

Clean with a mild Woolite & water solution. Wipe in two directions to make sure you get all of the dirt. Dry thoroughly. Apply 303 Aerospace to all plastic, vinyl and leather by spraying onto a clean MF towel and wiping it on. Then go back with another towel to remove the excess. 303 is not meant to be applied heavily nor leave a sheen like Armor-All.
More info in the Wash & Wax section.

i have had my car for 4 months, and clean it weekly...i have yet to put any product on my dash...i wipe it down with a damp micrfibre cloth....

on my 07 type s, i would once in a while use microfibre with the meguiars natural shine interior cleaner, and then follow that up with a dry microfibre to wipe it dry...

303 is a great UV protection product, it contains no cleaners, so only apply to a pre-cleaned surface. Another choice would be Iz Cockpit Premium

Is 303 meant to be applied on leather seats as well?

The leather in the back seats are super slippery. Will 303 help with this problem?

I've heard of 303 being used as a leather protectant as well. I don't think it'll get rid of the shine.

I'd suggest using a leather cleaner first. Leatherique is probably the best in the business, but Lexol is one of the best you can get OTC. Pick up some Lexol leather cleaner, follow up with 303 Aerospace Protectant.
