Umm.. water? Seriously though, my RD interior is a mix of metal, plastic, rubber, leather, and alcantara trims - and I find lukewarm water + microfiber works best an all of the above.

If you want to use chemicals you can use a leather cleaner for your leather (obviously), I use a DODO Juice cleaner and sealant and perhaps an all purpose cleaner (APC) such as Meguires APC for the rest which is great.

For all the leather surfaces I use Dr. Leather wipes. All the rest is taken care of by Meguiars Interior Quick Detailer.

Indeed if its Blond, use Dr Leather dye transfer block as well, though other than the leather, I use a clean microfibre and water mist for the interior, but I live in a soft water area, so it doesn’t spot.

Autosmart G101 APC at 1:30 dilution. For everything.
(except glass and screens, for which I use Autosmart Glass Clear)

G101. Its a wonder product, I’d drink that stuff if it came in blackcurrant.

No, plain water. Post cleaning I use Sonax leather feed to keep the nappa parts at their best- but for cleaning nothing but good old H2O. Lukewarm for all but the alcantara-like seat trim- for that I use hot water- as it evaporates as I clean. Other than that I have “dedicated” microfiber cloths for each surface. Vacuum all before cleaning and then hit it all with damp microfiber and some elbow grease.. 2 yrs in and it all looks as good as new.
