I am surprised there are not threads on here already about this... I found only one, with not a lot of info.

Glass, plastic and leather... what is best to use on each? Best quality and easiest to use...

I have read some bad reviews on some leather cleaners... leaving residue... I am may just wipe leather down with damp cloth... but does it need a protectant?

Plastic trim cleaning and glass cleaning is most important to me... 3 weeks old and kids feet all over the seat backs and back seat floor area sides...

I'd like something that either has no smell, or adds to the new car smell... but doe snot introduce some new amour-all like crap smell to the vehicle.

 

Meguiar's always on my leather since 80s always happy.

 

Glass - Stoner's Invisible Glass

Leather - Lexol

Plastics - I like the Meguiars interior detailer with the "natural low gloss" finish. It smells good, has UV protectants, and doesn't leave that cheap looking used car lot shiny finish.

 

Do you use both Lexol Cleaner and Conditioner? And are you talking about Lariat or KR leather?

 

I like both.

I use them on my wife's Edge Limited and my Mustang GT's leather. The leather in my Mustang is 12 years old and looks brand new.

 

I like Lexol cleaner for leather, but the absolute best leather conditioner I've found is the Duragloss LC (222). I buy the big 32oz jars on Amazon and use it regularly.

 

I'm not big on having the interior super clean because, truck. But I just use windex for glass, my dyson for the rugs and seats, and whatever wet wipes I have kicking around for everything else But if I have no wipes kicking around, just a bucket of water with a bit of vinegar and a clean rag. Been doing this for 20 years with vehicles and never had any problems.

 

I'm a big fan of Sprayway Citrus Crazy Clean for the vinyl passed off as leather nowadays and also for plastic surfaces. For glass, Stoner invisible glass or Sprayway foaming glass cleaner with the two towel microfiber system.

 

For the interior, I use Armor All Multi-Purpose Cleaner. It's nothing like regular Armor All so it doesn't leave a smell or shine. It cleans really well. For the MFT screen and interior chrome, I just lightly dampen a microfiber cloth and wipe clean. I use Zep Foaming Glass Cleaner to clean the windows. I use Zymbol leather cleaner and Zymbol leather conditioner for the seats.

 

Glass - Safeway and a waffle weave glass towel
(Alternative - vinegar/distilled water combo - best I've ever used)

Plastic/Trim - 303 Protectant
(additional info: damp rag for really dirty parts - then 303)

Leather - Wolfgang Leather cleaner and conditioner
(Alternative - Chemical Guys cleaner/conditioner - just as good)

--NOTE--

Stay the F away from armor all - that oily greasy **** is hands down the worst possible chemical to use on any interior surface. It dry rots plastic/vinyl, makes steering wheels oily and slippery (it never dries) and actually COLLECTS dust/grime - none of what I recommended will collect dust as it isnt oily and is dry immediately after application - and has absolutely NO greasy residue.
