Dash and other plastic pieces like the doors etc. I use warm soapy water and just wipe it down. For the leather seats I use Lexol cleaner then their conditioner.

warm soapy water is great for cleaning it, but it leaves the plastic extremely brittle, it needs some sort of conditioner for follow up, i used to use armor all but not anymore, i haven't found a good alternative yet

I hate Armor All. Leaves everything all greasy and I think the dust sticks to it faster. I'm a big fan of Meguires products

Mother's interior cleaner, mmm, smells good.

And Eagle One conditioner on the leather, people tell me I should be using something more expensive, but I think it does a good job.

Zaino products on the leather.

I wipe down everything with a microfiber towel to remove dust, and use Meguiars plastic cleaner if needed. I hate that armaroll/greasy look, that's not how it looked from the factory.

For deep cleanings, I use a diluted all-purpose cleaner and a soft brush. For regular maintenance, I use Meguiar's Interior Quik Detailer or Griot's Interior Cleaner.

If it needs dressed/conditioned, I use Meguiar's Natural Shine, Adam's VRT, and Zaino Z9/Z10.
