Leatherette cleaner? Dash cleaner?

sorry to ask what others might have asked.

But when I read about these products they sound like they are for nice high quality leather.

My interior is Black Leatherette.

any advice on what to use to keep it clean? Non greasy, non oily?

Can I use the same product on the dash and doors?

I am quite pleased with the Auto Glym Vinyl and Rubber cleaner.

1Z cockpit premium has a nice pine smell to it. Not as strong as Pine-Sol but definitely noticeable at first.

Another great dashboard cleaner is "Sonax Matte Finish". Cleans just as well, also has some antistatic properties and has a subtle cherry smell.

Can't go wrong with either

303 Aerospace is also a good choice.

It's great on exterior trim, and on the dash and seats. It gives it just a bit of a moisturized feel without being greasy whatsoever. It's a great cleaner too. Got stains off the seats I thought were never coming out with pure ease. No scent to the stuff either.

Make sure to follow the directions and wipe it off fully if you do use it.

For the leather I'd suggest the Leatherique products but if you want a one step choice the SONAX Leather Foam is a great choice.

For the dashboard, doors, arm rests, etc. the Einszett 1Z Cockpit Premium is a great light cleaner and protectant. It has a beautiful yet matte finish that makes the surface look darker but without the glossy or oily feel.

Let me know if you have any other questions and I'll be happy to help.
