well ****.....lol ive been using a wet cloth on my interior....not a fan of shine and gettin greasy feelin on me. also seems like dressings on the dash collect more dust....


do any of them have alcohol?

btw. on the leather issue. i know people who use just water to clean their seats. and no conditioner/dressing......and their seats look brand new

i think if you used the conditioner once a month or less. then you would fine, i think most people use it too often, which will result in what gofast908z said...

I used to use the eagle one cleaner and conditioner and it worked well. The best part is it makes the leather smell like new. The problem now is no auto parts stores carry the seperate cleaner and conditioner only that cleaner/conditioner one step crap.

I prefer Zymol cleaner and conditioner. Ive never had any problems with using conditioner.... then again I only use a tiny bit when I condition the leather.
