Need Help Please

[Beason]

I just bought a used 2001 Black Tahoe with 27,000 miles on it in great condition. I am planning on working on it and I need some help because the dealership did some strange thing to it.

First instead of youring some sorta or dash/vinyl protectant like 303 they used some sorta of oil based products. The dash. console, everything now has a serve oily feel, very slick. It feels just like grease was put on it. So I need something to first get this out so that I can put some 303 ontop. What products do good for cleaning dashs and vinyl? Will heavily dilluted MEG APC work?

Second the car was owned by a athlete before me so the leather on the drivers side is pretty dirty, what is a good leather cleaner to get this out? I have Zymol and Lexol leather cleaners and conditioners, will these work?

Third I need a plastic trim cleaner. I would like to clean as much of it as possible before topping it with 303. Does anyone know a good cleaner to clean plastic pieces like running boards and rear bumber covers?



Thank you.



Also please check out my thread in Detailing to offer some help before I completely detail the Tahoe.

I used some regular water with some Dawn in it to get rid of similar gunk off my dash once. I used a MF by the way, which seemed to help quite a bit.



It's worth a try to use a "normal" leather cleaner first. Think about stronger options if that doesn't seem to work.
