This is what I've been using:
Einszett Cockpit Premium on the dash / plastic trim.
Leathermaster Rapid S Cleaner (in the foaming bottle) and a Swissvax leather brush for cleaning leather.
Leathermaster Protection Cream/Vital or Zaino Z10 Leather-in-a-Bottle for conditioning leather.
Swissvax Wood polish for my CF trim. You could use it on piano black too.

303 sprayed onto a damp cloth for all plastics and vinyls. Leaves a non-shiny, non-greasy finish
It's well regarded for it's UV protecting qualities. I also use it on the plastic in the engine bay of the Ferrari, which gets really hot, and it remains stable, not chalking or turning blotchy.

Meguiars leather foam for leather. It's very handy - toss it into the trunk along with a microfiber cloth and you can take care of most accidents in addition to regular cleaning (our car has the silver leather, and being a convertible, collects marks quickly). Some people prefer Conelly Hide Food. A bit hard to find, I get mine at OSH, in the car care aisle.

On a car as new as the RS, I have not found any need for Surflex Soffener, but on old cardboard leather, it's just fantastic. They also make dyes and hole fillers.

As little as possible on the dash...
after a while if you use the wrong stuff, the interior coating will peel
Ask old A4, TT owners ect...
I use a dry microfiber towel and a california duster on the dash
searching you will find reports. My g/f also hung a air freshener from her turn signal, and the chemicals in that started causing the soft coating on the lower column trim to start peeling. I had to have a discussion with her. She also has residue on her hands from lotion or ? that are wearing off her radio buttons...
stay away from products on the dash IMO

Agree...
I use a slightly damp microfiber towel on the dash material, and only mild soap and water if ever needed.
It's not a good idea to put treatments on the dash material, as it's directly in the sun/heat and it's a very thin material at that.

You gotta buff dry this stuff off. Great on mirrors and showers, tubs too.

So far this sounds like the best option to me. Has anyone had a bad experience with this product?
