Interior cleaning

Just purchased my TLX yesterday. Just curious to know what products you guys use to keep your leather clean, as well as dashboard and other components. My friend uses Clorox wipes when he has spills or has to clean up stains in his car. He has white interior, but I have the espresso. I am not taking any chances in fading my leather by using that.

use a damp microfiber cloth once a week to wipe down seats, dash and anything else that you want to wipe down.
doing it once a week will take care of the interior as far as dust and other small smudges.

tough smudge or stain? water+woolite+microfiber cloth.

these are the absolutely safest ways of cleaning your interior. and will leave seats and dash matte looking and not SLICK and OILY.

if you really want to get into some leather cleaning products (FYI; most of the seat material isnt leather) you can try Lexol products!
they're great and also dont leave seats oily and greasy.

All my interior cleaning is with Woolite & water . Ratio 6:1 water to Woolite . Mist the seats , don't soak them and wipe with the M/F. For general cleaning/ dusting , mist the M/F and wipe down. All the cars I do I have never found need for more.

you can dilute it up to 10 parts water : 1 part woolite for gentle cleanings or spot cleanings. I find 6:1 the strongest but having to wipe off the soapy residue a couple of times if on a larger surface area.

Use a product formulated for leather like the Lexol leather cleaner. For the dash, use 303 protectant.
