Interior cleaning
Ok guys.. what do you use to clean the interior of your S4.. Most people at Audi said just use a damp cloth, some say just wipe it down. Im not too happy with those answers and looking for something to bring out that new car look again in my 2000 S4. Should i just use the Armor All or is there a better alternative out there.. ??

Cleaning...Please, NO Armor All...
Just posted similar response on detail forum: my best advice is to try 3M's Refresh line. Works great on dashboards, kick panels, hides scuffs in Onyx...And when used on Leather, it cleans, conditions and protects, as well as bringing back the natural luster and ......new car smell. Hope this helps.

Harly Poly Guard on everything but wood, instrument cluster and leather...
Lexol on the leather, Plexus on the wood and instrument pannel. Here's my entire detailing routine; takes about 1 hours to do the interior.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/575294.phtml">Detailing Routine</a></li></ul>

I agree with Ted's procedure, just one thing to add...
Ted, you and I have allot in common... 
Anyways, I think One Grand Blitz is the best, but I use Zaino for the winter.
Besides that, after applying Blitz to a dark colored car (I too have Santorin), fill a spray bottle with distilled water, and one little mist over a body panel. Then use a flannel cloth to wipe the area completely dry. See Blitz has a really high % of Carnuba and oils to enrichen the paint. If you skip this step, when you pull the car in the sun, some sections may haze from the oils (but will wash away so don't worry). I freaked the first time I saw the haze and thought "oh no, what is happening!". This will prevent that.
Oh, and I use low gloss Armor All for the interior and I like it :P
