What are some good products for the leather seats?
how about for the non leather parts, like the dash/doors? Or are they leather as well? they feel like hard imitation leather lol
i use turtle wax on my car once every couple months, but nothing for interior.. any suggestions?
also, is the dash/doors leather? i'm talking about that hard non-plastic material

Maquire's makes a leather cleaner and a separate interior cleaner. Both come in a spray bottle and I have had good luck with both. It doesn't build up like Armor All and attract dust. Plus, the leather cleaner is not a paste so it doesn't build up in the perforated holes in sport seats. I use the leather cleaner on the seats, dash (full leather) rear console cover, steering wheel and door panels. Interior cleaner everywhere else.

I've been wanting to give 303 a try but didn't want to mess anything up.

I actually use 303 on the glued leather surfaces (dash, doors. trim); been doing so for years and took 2nd place in the PCA concour twice...so it must be helping! I wouldn't recommend using leather conditioner on those bits because they may rehydrate the leather causing it to lose its bond with the surface...you don't want to make it supple in those areas. 303 is totally safe for leather and provides UV protection. The seats are a different story; you want suppleness so Leatherique, Lexol and Connolly Hide Food are the right products there.

So you all think that it's good for anything 'black' on the outside of the car too?

As a professional luxury and sports car Detailer I have used virtually every product on the market. 303 is my go to for all things plastic, vinyl and rubber. I buy gallons of it every year. The nice thing about is that it doesn't attract and hold dust like some products and you can adjust the amount of shine. Too shiny? Simply knock it down with a micro fiber towel to suit your taste. It works great on all the seals as well. It's great on tires and will not brown or sling off. Great stuff!

Thanks Gator, your post made me a happy camper!
BTW, you a U of Florida guy with a name like that? If so, I hate to say it, but my wife is a Florida State girl and she had her last license plate say "GATRHTR". LOL! I'm not a sports dude, so I think its so funny all these rivalries. I went to USC and so I guess I'm supposed to dislike UCLA? Whatever.

Indeed a UF grad Peavy. I am so sorry to hear about your wife's troubles with getting into an actual college. She can tell the peculiar thing at FSU of why birds fly upside down over the campus. Long story short, there isn't anything worth ****ting on down there.
We love our in state rivalries so it's all in good fun!

Yup, I used it on all rubber and plastic trim inside and out. Also use it on the tires. As Gator said, it doesn't attract dust and doesn't wash off after the first rain fall. I buy it online in the 4L container!
