I like 4* Leather Cleaning Gel and Conditioner...but I also use Leatherique, Lexol, and Pinnacle leather products.
Vinyl: 303, Meg`s, 1Z cockpit premium, PB`s Natural Look are all good stuff...
Walmart carries some of the stuff...I`ve seen Lexol stuff at the Walmart in Miliani and the Checkers next to it...
I use the leather care package I got with some leather furniture. It got a horrid yellow animal vomit stain out of my wife`s white leather sofa. I was sold. Prior to that, I had been using whatever was on sale at the auto parts store. Megs or mothers I can`t recal - it was open so I tried that on the stain first. No luck. Then I opened up the furniture care box and a hour or so later the stain was gone. I`ll have to go get the name if anyone is interested.
Fasten Your Seat Belt! It helps keep the aliens from sucking you out of the car.
Lexol on the leather and Poorboys Natural Look on the vinyl. Stoners Invisible Glass on the windows...spray it on the rag then wipe the window...avoids overspray on the dash etc.
Dream big and be willing to do the work to get there.
Where do you get the Stoners invisible glass
Wal-mart, Auto Zone, Pep Boys, Orielly`s all carry Stoners Invisible Glass.
I really like Lexol for leather. Vinylex is great for the dash too. However, I`ve been switching over to Poorboy`s Natural Look for the vinyl and plastic trim.
"The trouble is that you think you have time." - Jack Kornfeld
Glass and clear plastic, (instrument cluster, etc.) - 2 or 3 drops of Dawn in a 32 oz. bottle of water. This is used by lots of window cleaning companies.
Leather cleaning - Woolite and water 6:1
Leather conditioner - 4 Star Leather Conditioner
Carpet and carpet mats - Meg`s APC+ diluted with water to a 10 or 12:1 mix.
Cloth upholstery - Blue Coral Dri-Clean or Prestone Upholstery Cleaner. Based on my experience with the Meg`s APC+ on carpet, I think I am going to try it on some upholstery.
Vinyl cleaning - APC+ 10:1 or Woolite 6:1
Vinyl and rubber treatment - 303

Interior Glass - EO 20/20 (I`ve tried Stoner`s IG and Sprayway not impressed with either. If you use either, follow JimS`s suggestion and spray first on your towel, because they are messy)
Clear Plastic - Dampened MF towel
Vinyl - Poorboy`s Natural Look. Though it does reportedly have some cleaners, if the vinyl is more than just dusty, I will use a light solution of Quick n Brite
Leather - Lexol`s cleaner and conditioner. I have purchased Platinum`s (now 4Star) leather cleaner gel and conditioner, but have not yet tried them out.
Carpets - Blue Coral`s Dri-Clean or Folex. The key is to use as little product as possible and remove as much of the soap residue as possible.
Cloth seats - I don`t have any, but I believe the products above would work OK.
4* Ultimate Leather Cleaner and 4* Ultimate Leather conditioner - magic combo and sooo easy to use and the BEST leather smell - never smells like "trying to be leather."
Dash - 303 or Poorboy`s natural look (which has an awesome smell) -
My car is pretty new so I am lucky that I just have to vaccum
You have activated my special ability....

4star Platinum Leather Conditioner x1 (smells like a new car!)

Sure, it`s shiny, but how smooth is it, and how does it look in direct sunlight?
Ammonia and water for cloth seats and carpets. Murphy Oil Soap in the spray bottle for vinyl and leather. You can use Woolite mixed 6 to 1 for everthing leather , vinyl , cloth and carpets.
I order the Stoners products on the net from their web site www.stonersolutions.com
Dream big and be willing to do the work to get there.
I eat sleep and drink Stoner`s Invisible Glass, Trim Cleaner, and Trim Shine. These products perform well and save time !!!
Leather- I really like Rightlook.com leather cleaner. Low ph cleaner that cleans well and is much easier to work with than Lexol. In my opinion Lexol cleaner is way to thick, and hard to work with. Lexol conditioner on the otrher hand is my "ole reliable" conditioner, except when conditioning really dry non-coated leather like the leather in older British cars. When I detail the older Jaguars I apply Detail Plus Mink Oil to this type of leather. These hides usually are in dire need of the moisturizing abilities of Mink Oil .
