Interior detaling

Hey i was just wondering what you guys use on your interior to clean it. Ive got a duster but i was wondering what to use to help protect the dash and such. Not really looking for a shine on it so UV protection and such so it doesnt fade abd crack down the road.

I use a protectant made by Car-Brite. 1 gal cost me about 20$. The stuff is very thin, looks like milk. Leavs a DULL shine on everything, not the soaking wet look like the junk products. Works GREAT on tires, two coats sprayed on, dry for 10 minutes, and thats it. It doesnt fling off and lasts through rain just fine

For cleaning, I like Meguiars Quick Interior Detailer and Detailer's Pride Total Interior Cleaner. For a protectant, 303 is hard to beat. A close second in my book is Poorboy's Natural Look.

armorall leather care gel. i've tried lexol, meguires, and a couple of other brands, but they leave the white deposits in the perforations. the armorall gell goes on clear and has no shine...it is supposed to keep the leather supple and conditioned.

Mother's leather cleaner/conditioner works great on the seats... makes it nice and soft, not oily at all, and I love the smell, it makes it smell new again.

As for the dash, I'm another Meguiars user
