Interior care
Can people please post their favorite products for cleaning/caring for the interior of their Audis(dashboard, seats, etc..)? I've heard a lot about Lexol Vinylex Spray and some of the Griot's Garage's products. Just wanted to get a fresh poll going of what people like to use.
Thanks!

Re: Interior care
Read details forum, RKA has a good griot posts.
Vinylex is very popular for the dash and all that type of material but it can be shiny and blotchy if your not careful.
Lexol has the best leather cleaning products. There is a cleaner and a conditioner. The cleaner also has a level of conditioning to it as well.
I've been using Meguiars Natural Shine on my dash. It's in a red bottle. It's not shiny at all but with a very de-linted terry towel, it does a VERY nice job of cleaning up the dash and the pillars and the foot wells.
I've also used 3M Refresh which will do leather and vinyl. I primarily use it on my steering wheel but it also does a similar job to the Meguiars on the dash, although since it is a liquid paste (like IHG consistancy) it's more difficult to use, so I stick to small areas.

Be careful with Vinylex - I don't like it
Try it on a small, lower area first, like the lower left trim piece next to the steering wheel or something. It's got a satiny finish which I really dislike. It removes (probably forever) the nice "rubbery" looking matte finish the dash has when it's new.
I'm gonna try 303 Aerospace protectant - it gets good reviews and they say it's not shiny.
