Interior Prep Work

I've heard that using 303 Aerospace is a great protectant for your whole interior, but what do you guys like using for the prep work?
Edit:I'm talking about both the plastic and the leather.

Clean leather seats with Lexol ph leather cleaner and plastic panels with 10:1 of megs APC. Then wipe everything again with a damp mf. Last I spray the seats and plastic panels with a UV protectant.

I use a water:woolite mixture 6:1 for the leather. Damp cloth for the plastic. Leather gets conditioned with Zaino and Everything else but the glass gets Prima Nero

Have you read what woolite can do to leather if you really don't flush it out.

i use Prima Nero 50/50 diluted with distilled water for the panels and
dash. for the leather i use my interior duster to remove most of the dust,
followed by my horse hairbrush to remove any left over dust in the crevises,
then follow up with Griot's LeatherCare spray and LeatherCare on areas
that show more wear.

for carpet i use Griot's CarpetCleaner (i rarely have to use it though as
i dont drive my G in bad weather so my shoes are relatively always clean)

and at the very end clean the glass with Prima Clarity using their
glass MF towels. i also use the window wizard (was it called?) from
Griot's for the rear window.

Using a detergent that is meant to be flush rinsed (i.e. rinsed until it runs clear) in a situation were this is not possible, is not recommended as when it dries it will attract dirt and contribute to re-soiling; it will also dry out the surface due to dried soaps capillary action with moisture. This product contains alkalis (sodium), which provide foaming, and a solvent (alcohol) as an aid to cleaning; these will further aggravate the drying out process due to their affinity with moisture.
