    What to use on dash and seats?

    I'd like to get my interior cleaned up and protected. What is good to use on the dash?

    My front seats are a little dirty, so I'd like to clean them and also protect them. What about here?

    BTW, seats are leather.

          The problem with Armor-All is that you have to constantly keep applying it, otherwise the material that it is being used on WILL crack. I've seen quite a few people that screwed up their vinyl roof because they applied Armor-All and they never kept up with it. Couple months down the road, and voila!; a cracked vinyl roof.

            My worst enemies are those who presume me to be harmless. They cannot imagine how much I resent and disdain them, or just how great a threat they would face if I could get at them. Everything in their behavior speaks of insult and presumptuousness, and for now it is all I can do to make constructive use of my anger toward them. At this time, I just make a list of them and keep a watch on. Some day, with the help of time, space, and circumstance, I will be able to humiliate them properly - not in a manner they would enjoy, but in a style calculated to make them wish that they had never been born.

              I use leather conditioner on my dads Merc and I use it on my dash. You can get the stuff for the car interiors but I found that any leather conditioner will work and usually less expensive cause it is "just for cars." I use the leather conditioner on my dash and vynal in my vic too. Hope this helps.

                I used a ratchet and a 15mm socket to care for the leather in my car. Unbolt the seats, place them on the curb for the garbage mang, then install velour. Its a fairly in-depth process but the results are great.

                  Suuure, whatever you say mang. Lol, I wanna see ya say "No" when some hot chick wants to get in with her swimsuit still wet :evil:

                  Jumbo, you should only apply the socket-and-ratchet method if switching to better leather seats, don't even think of going the Gadget way! That said on my leather seats I use some conditioner I stole from my last "friend with benefits", don't know what it was cause I threw the empty bottle out about 3 weeks ago.

                    I have the nascar lotion for the twice a month thing and I use the meguires wipes for in the between time. I do the shifter and steering wheel. I wipe as much as I can off and let it soak into the leather long before I drive off. Armoral inside and cotton cloth after to remove the heavy glazed over look.

                          A little OT, but did any TC's come from the factory as slick tops?

                            None that I've ever seen. Emphasis being on the last 3 words. Everyone I've seen has had a cloth or vinyl roof.
