Default C5 owners, what do you use to clean/shine up your door panels

And center console and other hard plastics. Mine are always clean, but they lack any sort of shine and they look, I don't know, dry? If that makes any sense.
Thanks
Alex

Meguiar's Natural Shine, Zaino Z16 or Z10, Adam's VRT, etc.

Just make sure it's a water-based dressing.

i actually dont like a shiny interior...too much plastic as it is !!

so i just use 'mothers' protectant (low sheen) and usually wipe/buff with a towel after an hour or so...

Zaino Z16 or Z10, Adam's VRT, or 303. But mostly just a damp cloth.

I like Meguire's Interior Detailer wipes. Leaves a soft clean shine, not glossy and doesn't attract dust.

I use a product from LIQU TECH called LVR protectant. Have been using it for years with no problems. It is a liquid suncreen that protect and restores. It is lanolin-based, non oily, water repellant and anti static. Contains no silicones. Very pleased with results. Just my $.02

Way too shiny for my tastes, but as long as you're happy, that's all that matters.

These pictures were taken with flash as soon as the interior conditioning was done. It has since subdued 200% (in terms of high-gloss).
