Thanks. I was hoping for a 1 product solution for the interior because i'm not sure which panel is leather vs. vinyl. I do know the seat is leather
Is there an interior picture chart that show which part is leather vs. vinyl?
thanks in advance,

I have tried most of the detailing products in the market and I have decided that if ain't broken don't fix it. Sonax and Einzett are my to go products for the interior. For Vinyl I use Sonax Dashboard Matte Finish which I consider better than Cockpit Premium. I use CP for the rest of the the car. For leather I use Sonax Foam Leather Cleaner and Masters Leather Cream.
I only use 303 on exteriror and engine.
Hope this help.

That's what I do.... use 303 on everything inside the car. With the Targa, I figure the UV protection in the 303 can't hurt. I was surprised it even works well on the plastic trim pieces.

Armor All out last brake dust repellent works great. I was told that it is very acidic. You don't want to get it on your discs or rotors. I e-mailed Armor All and they confirmed that it can damage those areas. I cover my brakes with a towel. Some people pull the wheels but that is a bit much. I don't dd and it lasts me for months. The California Duster is a great tool. Rain of coarse would change that. When I did wash the car I was surprised at how much the wheels beaded up.

[QUOTE=LexVan;13653209]I've been using the Armor All Outlast (prior name was A.A. Wheel Protectant) for about 6 years with excellent results. I find your comment about "very acidic" to be hard to believe. Who told you this? Are you sure? I also get overspray all over my brake rotors, with little concern, and can't possibly see how this could cause any ill effects.
As you can see from my post, Armor All responded to my concern about brake damage. I think it is a great product and I will continue to use it. Not difficult to cover the brakes. I'm glad that you have not had any issues. Have you been applying protectant to the same car for 6 years or many. My SA at Porsche made the acidic comment. I have no way to contest his statement is the reason I e-mailed Armor All customer support. Maybe you can ask them and see if you get a different answer.

Armor All outlast does nothing at all to your rotors or calipers. And it's rubbed off the rotors the first time you brake anyway.

I never use wheel cleaners. If you have your wheels properly coated (RejeX Wax and Optimum Gloss Coat are 2 excellent choices) all you ever need to wash your wheels is warm soapy water. For any tough spots, I spot clean with RejeX or a citrus degreaser on a small cloth. Wheels cleaners are an expense easily avoided with proper prep.

My 2 cents, many good products have been mentioned in this post. I believe its mostly about how often and technique. Armed with the proper technique and knowledge you can use any of the quality products/applicators with great results.
Select a couple products and watch some youtube videos, and you will be set.
Enjoy!
