Dash cleaner and protectant?

What's the best stuff for your dashboard and door trim? I don't really want to use armor all.

Best stuff I've ever used is Einszett Cockpit Premium. Zero shine, nice scent, works on all interior surfaces.

Besides the seats, what other parts of the car is leather? Is the center console, back of the front seats, and door panels leather. Would you use the Einszett on these parts also or use a leater cleaner product.

Thanks.

Meguiars Cleaner

I used the Meguiars to remove door scuff marks. With a little work...it safely removes the black marks.

Ditto, though I didn't know about the wipes. I'll have to look into those...

I like 303 for interior dash because of added UV protection. On the doors or other parts of dash/glovebox, I generally use Zaino Leather Cleaner/Conditioner (or other leather type cleaner).

Also use 303 on all rubber trunk, engine, door/sealants... even gungy looking tires.
