2 things you'll need to do -

1) Clean

2) Condition/Protect

Heres some info on our stuff (jump to about the 50 second mark). Depending on how bad it is you may be able to dilute the cleaner 1:1, but if its heavily soiled I'd go full strength.

I use Zaino leather cleaner and protector. Smells like new car smell!

As needed... theres really not a time table. Just whenever they start to look a little less fresh. I typically do mine about every 2 washes (and usually wash every week or 2)

In over 2 years I have never done anything but wipe down my IO seats with a slightly damp cloth once or twice a month. I don't see or feel any soil or dirt at all. Same with my dash and door panels. Only 14,000 miles and I don't eat, drink, smoke, park in the sun, etc, so maybe that's the reason they still look like new.

Thats a big part of it... if anything the only problem you might start to notice is a buildup of skin oils on the steering wheel, shifter, and door grabs. The hardest thing on interior a lot of the time is the sun, so if you're out of it most of the time you're eliminating a large source of wear and tear.

Correct- I think the sun can do more harm to an interior than anything else.
If I am in a sunny area, I even close my sunroof cover even if parked for a short time in the sun.
