The best stuff for leather is leatherique (http://www.leatherique.com/) but if this is too expensive an option for you, or you want something local my "go-to" leather cleaner/conditioner is made by Lexol...best OTC stuff IMHO

For the leather on my Sonata SE I like the Mothers Reflections Leather Care. It is easy to use and keeps the leather clean and soft.

For the dash and plastic or vinyl surfaces I use the STP Son Of A Gun Protectant. It cleans very well and protects great without a shiny finish like Armorall.


Good luck!

didn't know stores still sold this garbage....while it makes the dash look nice and wet, the greasy trail it leaves, leaves something to be desired (and its not that product!)

Meg's Natural Appearance is the best for dashes...and doesn't leave it slippery or greasey :thumbsup:

I use all Meguiars prodcuts. http://www.autodetailingsolutions.net

For anything other than the leather and clear plastic, I use http://www.303products.com/shop303/index.c...-protectant.cfm

Great stuff. No silicone in it (Armor All) and gives UV protection. I use it on my 91, my 01 and my 07.

I use Lexol for the Leather surfaces.

I also like Meguiars, i was using another brand before and that thing was so greasy. Meguiars wount leave you with all that greasy stuff but it will leave you with the shine you want.

Isn't most of the dashboard not shiny? I want something that will maintain the integrity of the dash. and not give me a greasy(shiny) look.
any ideas?

Swiffer sheets work awesome for light cleaning/dust removal. I keep a box in my trunk. I also started using these water-based Turtle Wax cleaning wipes. They are strictly for cleaning, no residue or shine (or protective properties at all). They work good for light cleaning and don't change the appearance of plastic surfaces. I noticed that on the piano black parts they do leave water spots but those wipe off with a soft cloth or swiffer sheet.
