For the dash you might want to try 303 Aerospace Protectant. It gives the dash a matted finish rather than a shiny one (if that's what you're looking for) and also contains a UV protectant ingredient. Plus it repels dust!

For leather try a leather cleaner/conditioner like Meguiar's. You can pick these up at any auto store.

Oh and welcome to the board!

For general maintenance on leather seats I use a damp terry cloth towel and then Meguiars leather wipes. Once every 3 months I use Lexol Leather Cleaner followed by Lexol Leather Conditioner.

For the dash I use a damp microfiber cloth to get all of the dust and dirt off and then Lexol Vinylex.

There really is no "best" product to use. I just use stuff that works for me. Check out autopia.org. Tons of detailing info there.

I like to use the Zaino products for my G's interior. I use both the Z9, which is a leather cleaner and the Z10, which is a leather treatment and conditioner. I use this combo on all of the interior surfaces with the exception of the headliner and the carpeting.

then condition the leather- I used lexol or eagle one

I have to vote for the Zaino leather conditioner with Woolite as a cleaner for the leather. Leatherique is good stuff as well but mainly for old or worn leather.

For the dash, I usually go with Meguairs Quick Interior Detailer. If you want a dressing, 303 is my favorite.

Fordaily orweekly cleaning I use Wurth Cockpit detail spray.
It removes the dust and light dirt without removing the protectan you already have on the vinyl,rubber and plastic.

Zaino... Love the smell people always say it smells like a new car.

I have alos been using a swiffer dry for dusting the dash weekly or whenever i get a little dust up there.

+1 on the zaino leather cleaner/conditioner. It's like they squeezed the smell of leather and shoved it into a bottle.

It helps keep the new car smell very well

I apply the Z10 about once every 2 months. Yes, I just simply rub in small amounts to small areas until everything is covered . . . Then allow it to dry. You need not use too much.

Thanks Andy,
The z10 smells niceee. I will order the Z9 which i will use on regular basses and i'll use Z10 once a month or every 2 months.

I dont think there's a harm in using the Z9 every weekend. since its not a conditional.

Thanks,
Manbir
