Default C5 Interior dress up materials.....

Just got a 98 C5 6 speed with 44k miles. I use Meguiar's products and just purchased their One Step Leather Care. What do you folks use on the interior vinyl dash, dash cover, door panels, center console? I plan on using this Leather Care on the seats and am wondering if you use this Meguiar's product on your seats.

Thanks
Mick

Sonus Cockpit Detailer works great for me.

I use Z9 and Z10 on all my leather and then I will use Z10 with a little Z16 added to it for everything else inside. You get that awesome leather smell and the Z16 added will add some shine. I do not like my interior very shiny so I don't use much. You can also just use Z16 straight. If you just do a real light coat it leaves a nice matte finish. If applied heavy it gets shinier. Z16 also has an awesome vanilla like smell.

303 does a great job on those areas!

I use 303 on the vinyl and plastic. I like Lexol on the leather. And I just recently got some NTS7 interior cleaner from AutoGeek. I've only used it once, but I liked it a lot.

I also like Meguiars' products, and I was pretty happy with their leather treatment. But it does not at all give you a leather smell.

I was finally talked into giving the Zaino leather products a try, and they really blew me away. You're really missing out if you don't at least try them. Get the cleaner and the "leather in a bottle" and you'll be stuck for life. Make sure to use a really soft leather brush to apply both products.
And the smell is incredible - you'll think you're in a new car all over again.

Griot's garage has a nice leather conditioner also, with pretty similar results to Zaino, so you can give them a look too. My own preference is the Z.

I'll also vote for 303 protectant for the plastic and dash, non-leather items.
