Default I use griots interior cleaner for the leatherette and all plastics/dash/doors.

Oderless and colorless and no soap left behind.

But i haven't noticed my interior getting dirty. No kids here though, pretty much just me, and the wife on weekends.

Default I don't really get plat. dirty but scuff marks from shoes etc do show

I am gonna give Dennis' method a try but I have been using simple green unfortunately it leaves a smell of simple green behind.

Default I tried "Fantastik" and it sure doesn't work well...not even sure if Simple Green is available here

but at least I have heard of it as I am a CART racing fan

I had good results with protectant, gave it a warm tone, and brought out the shades of Platinum.

Default Platinum Leather? Use Lexol Cleaner and Conditioner

Get some Premium All-weather mats in Black and you'll be all set.
