Interior cleaning products?

Any recommendations for cleaning the interior? My dash is black but my seats are a tan leather. I've used the official BMW products, but was wondering if there was a better recommendation.

Some great products out there by Chemical Guys and by Adams Polishes. I've used products from them over the years and they're great.

I've also used some products from Zaino. Their leather in a bottle is a nice finish step that makes the car smell like it just came off the show floor.

Happy detailing!

i like the 303 line of products...i use the spray and the wipes....gives good protection and a matte finish (this is mostly for everything except leather)

for leather i use the chemical guys cleaner and conditioner which work fantastic...

For leather, it's only Lexol for me.

so for my weekly/ bi-weekly car wash and interior cleanup, I use Mother's VLR. I use that on the dash, wood trims, door panels and even the leather for quick wipes/ maintenance cleaning (like I use it on the steering wheel every time since that's a high-contact surface, and it does a great job at keeping it clean).

For my yearly full detail, I still use VLR on the plastic surfaces, BUT the leather gets cleaned and conditioned with Lexol. I scrub the cleaner into the material. Once clean, I go heavy with the conditioner and let it sit for hours. This is typically enough to hold out for the year.

Keep in mind that all my car's windows have ceramic tint (including the windshield), so this SIGNIFICANTLY improves the condition of all interior surfaces.

For this year's detail, I will be trying out Chemical Guys products. I've heard so many good things about them over the years (like the guys above mentioned).
