Recommendations for an interior/leather cleaner?

[PeterNYC]

hey all...great forum; it's been exceptionally helpful

taking delivery of an '06 X3 (silver gray with black interior, prem., nav., etc.) in mid June and am looking for a recommendation for a good spray on cleaner for the interior....Is there one that is good for both the leather, trim and dash?

Really just something for in between washings (we live in NYC and I won't be able to "detail" very often)...I'd like to keep in rear area someplace, for spot cleanings (we have a lab and she sheds, etc).

I have the same question for wheels/tires, but see that some like the Mother's FX for wheels.

Our brand of "Spot-Out" is incredible!!
We also have a batch of leather cleaner/conditioner that we have not released to the general public. It is formulated for routine maintenance of leather if you need something for that.

For wheels, Mothers and Eagle one are "best buys".
P21S also makes a good cleaner, however, it is $$$.

Hope this helps...

thanks guys...this may be an obvious question, but do you use a leather cleaning product on the dash as well?

Lexol makes some wipes, which i'll use for spot cleaning/conditioning...anybody had any luck with that?

Also, Meguiars makes something called NXT Generation protecterant, for trim/plastic....can be used, i think, on everything from interior trims to the tires.

NXT is a bit too much shine for me.
If you want a natural look with anti static agents to help repel dust and UV protection, try Cockpit Premium for the dash.
There is nothing worse than a shining dash, collecting dust and looking greasy (as well as the added danger of the reflection off the dash to the windshield.

We have a limited stock of this and will not be getting any more in.

Budd, pal.. if you have an 06 x5 you dont need to spray any interior product in your truck for a long time. keep it clean with luke warm water on a towel. don't use armor all like the other member.

And, as for Lexol, et al...I've had some good effects with those prods on my M'cycle leather stuff: boots, jackets, saddlebags, etc., used Very sparingly. Good on my golf kicks, too. I would not use it on my car leather seats.

You are good for quite a while with your new ride, unless you got that blonde interior, then get out the plastic seat covers.

DON'T use any spray on products unless you want little "wet" dots all over the plastic interior pieces (which you wouldn't want to use leather protector on anyway)

I use Griot's Leather Care. It comes in a bottle, put some on a sponge, spread it around, and wipe down. It looks great, and smells even better (like real leather). good stuff.
