Question What is best to use to keep the leather, dash, and steering wheel in top shape?

I am wonder what product should I use and how often to keep the leather seats, the dash, and the steering wheel in the best shape possible and looking best?

Meguiar's never lets me down!

I use the Gold Class Leather Care one a week on my '02 along with the Supreme Shine Protectant on the dash and all that jazz.

Most of it is vinyl, not true leather so I would say armorall for most things.

This is what a lot of us in Canada use. If you want to keep the "original" look of the interior, this stuff is great!

http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/brows...Protectant.jsp

I don't know if you can get it in the US though.

It doesn't give the shiny gleam you get from Armorall or Mothers. And it doesn't turn everything into a skating rink either. I've used it on my '08 Malibu and the interior still has the "original" look to it.

It is okay on leather for a quick clean up, but it will not replace treating and cleaning the leather properly though.

Thanks, hopefully I can get that in the US. I was looking to keep the original look as you were saying.

avoid any kind of oily products....the interior dash etc was meant to be flat....they warn dealerships not to use anything that will make it look shiney in appearance.

I use and swear by Turtle Wax leather cleaner and conditioner on the wheel, shift knob, and seating surfaces. All the side portions and rear of the seats as well as the shift boot is vinyl and I have not determined a product to use on that yet.

FWIW, I'd follow Chevrolets/Scotty's advice;

I'd only use Zaino leather cleaner and conditioner on the seating surfaces, and just go over the dash, etc., with a dampened MF towel.
