I'm a little confused with what I am reading, so I gotta ask.

I have a 2009 G37 sedan with black interior. I want to clean 1) the dashboard and 2) the leather seats. Which are the recommended products for each job? Getting them locally would be preferred over ordering online.

Thanks

For interior (dash, doors), lexol or meguiar's #40 vinyl and rubber is pretty good and easy to get.

For the seats, I usually order that stuff online (leatherique or zaino), but don't use vinyl cleaners on the leather stuff.

For cleaning the dash you can use Mother's Showtime protectant and for the leather, Lexol is a great product for off the shelf. Be sure to get the cleaner and the conditioner.

Both can be found at your local auto parts store.

^ yup, i've used both the AIO and the sealant. I found the sealant a bit hard to use so that bottle is just collecting dust in my bin.

but the AIO product is awesome. i use it 2X a year on both my vehicles, then layer a good quality wax (CG XXX Hardcore Paste Wax for me) over top of it 3-4X a year. the AIO can go on paint, chrome, plastic, glass, etc. it removes contaminants and swirls/imperfections like a champ. basically it is a abrasive-free chemical polish. it will strip off old wax and prep the surface for further conditioning, i.e. waxing. i don't clay bar anymore since starting with Klasse AIO. several friends and colleagues of mine have also started using AIO and swear by it. very durable!

note: i keep my paint in excellent condition and park in garages. if your paint is in rougher shape or in need of serious correction then you will need a more aggresive polish to correct the paint, at least before the AIO. AIO will not remove scratches.

I started as a hobbyist years ago with almost the entire Meguiar's Line, I appear to be the only guy on here that uses Adam's.....Between those two I hardly ever need anything else but like Menzerna's polish line as well..

A buddy of mine actually swears by any and all Adams products. I have not personally used them so I dont have experience to comment on it. Its something ive been considering though. Anyone else have any experience with Adams and comments about it?
