i just used this armor all orange scented cleanser in the baby wipe bottle yesterday to take off all the red dust i got on the inside from camping this weekend.. worked good... i wouldnt put anything on the leather for a few years, as since its new it typically just greases it up and your ass slides all over the place

My husband swears by Armor All- buys it by the gallon. I can't argue, since I just sold an 18 years old Acura that looked like it just came off the showroom floor.

Amor all is Ok, mass market stuff!! Pledge is cheaper and it simply works, I even use it on my mountain bike.

If you like armor all, use it; I will never use it after reading some reports.
I use the new NXT vinly protectant. For leather, eiter Lexol or Zaino.

I use Stoner's Trim Shine on all the H3 dark trim. I have used for years on other cars and works great. Does not leave a greasy residue. Just spray and wipe with a terry cloth towel. The finish is fantastic and does not leave the trim shiny like some products. In fact, the trim looks brand new after using this product. You can purchase from most auto supply stores or go to stonersolutions.com

Well park me next to f5fstop and call me happy.

I use the new NXT Vinyl Protectant as well.

Some good stuff.

I've had fabulous results using Griots Garage Vinyl & Trim Detailer over the last several years. Here's a link:

I use it on all black / gray bumpers, plastic trim, rubber, moulding, tires, etc. and it doesn't leave any sticky or messy residue...just a nice perfect satin sheen.

Ditto on the Back to Black. Not only does it work great you can get it at just about any auto center (pep boys, autozone, and maybe even wally world).

I was at the dealer waiting to get my truck back, and was watching some kid detail an H2. He was doing a really good job, and I noticed he was using Tire dressing for all the detail stuff. It was the tire dressing that you spay on, the foam kind, and it cleans and dresses all in one. He would spay it on, and wipe it with a cloth. It looked great, and it doesnt look greasy or run. Just an idea!
