any recommendations on leather cleaner and conditioner.
1. get a shop vacume with a hard brush to get the dirt out of carpet
2. get stoners glass cleaner (Safe for tinted windows)
3. Dash: Depends what you like.. if you have black.. 303 = *picture ur dasH*.. now picture it darker with a type of shine.. not greesy shine but a clear coat type shine. If you keep your front windows covered, IMO just used wet towel
4. Center console = wet towel and mini vac around the boot if you have a stick
5. same as #3
6. steering colum: just use a wet towel.. you dont want any cleaners on your hands or slippery leather.

as for gauges and clock use a wet MF towel so you wont scratch anything.

Lexol cleaner + Zaino Conditioner for leather

armorall = oily effect.. iono i dont like it.. just a warning cause that stuff is a pain in the *** to get off

meguiars gold class = slippery leather (*thinks bout kyosho's leather*) haha.. but Lexol should be the best although it doesnt smell as nice..

Klumzyee and I think a lot alike for the most part. I would never reccomend any Armor All product, it leaves a glossy look but that same glossy look attracts dust and other contamination and make maintenance much harder.

I really like the 303 line of products, they clean great, no greasy residue like Armor All. I clean with the 303 Cleaner http://secure.detailedimage.com/Merc...gory_Code=3000. It
cleans just about every part of your interior and it's an industrial concentrate so you can dilute it if you want and it will still work great and last extra long. After I clean the inside I do a final wipe down of the dash and other areas that are commonly exposed to the sun with the 303 Protectant http://secure.detailedimage.com/Merc...ory_Code=Vinyl. It gives the interior a great finished look and protects the dash from UV fading and it helps repel contamination build-up.

For leather cleaning Lexol is good but Leatherique is my personal favorite. Since your leather is probably in relatively good condition I would recomend the Leatherique Prestine Clean http://secure.detailedimage.com/Merc...y_Code=Leather . It cleans deep into the leather and makes the leather look and feel new again. It's the only product I use on leather unless the leather needs real serious work from the Leatherique Rejuvinator.

Tons of other great products on the site I sent you the links for. Hope this was helpful, if you have any more questions please feel free to ask!

$30? O.o thats one big bottle.. lol.. Any So cal people here? i know a few places to pick up these products for cheap..

303 is also good on the little plastic piece between our side mirrors and doors.. the one that turns a lil gray.. as punchit said.. lexol will get the worst shiet outta ur car.. some girl dropped a blue marker on my seat and until i used lexol the mark wouldnt come off..
