Default Interior Cleaning & Care Q

My apologies if there's an FAQ for this subject that I haven't run into yet, but can anyone give me some insight on what to use/what not to use on the interior (seats, dash, trim, etc.)?

Thanks!

Default Honestly, I don't do much.

For the dash, a damp cloth as needed, but usually just a Swifter dusting cloth to pick up lint/dust. Same for seats and console. Be careful with the instrument cluster and radio displays...swifter will scratch these. Just use a damp cloth or one of those towlettes used for computer computer monitors.

Carpets...just a vacuum (I used the Audi all weather mats, so my carpets stay pretty clean.

Some will recommend Vinylex. I have it and use it on the exterior, but I don't like the greasy/shiny feel it leaves, so I won't use it on the interior.

Default Varied history and responses...

I think you will find all kinds of responses from people here. Each has their own products or ideas - I use Lexol products for vinyl and leather cleaning, as well as Sonax cloth and carpet cleaner for cloth seats and carpets.

Thanks all. That black interior's tough to keep clean! Only had the car for a couple of weeks, but I love it. Already itching to chip it though....
