Default Best of the Best...

Although I know this is a very relative question, I would like to know what you people recommend for Leather Cleaning and Leather Conditioning, Interior Plastic Care and Soft Top UV protection.

On the exterior side I am already a Zaino freak and try to get some on everytime i get a chance.
I just don't know what products work better in terms of Interior Detailing.

Any Suggestions???

Lexol works good for me, and it's usually available at your local auto parts store. For the leather parts of the interior (the perforated portions of the interior), they've got Lexol leather cleaner, and Lexol leather preservative/conditioner. I tried the Meguairs Gold Class leather cleaner/conditioner, but was disappointed because the product plugged up the perforations.

Lexol also makes Vinylex and this works good on all the vinyl, interior and exterior including the convertible top.

Aerospace 303 protectant is also a good product that can be used on all of the plastic, leather, rubber, and the convertible top. You'll probably have to find this on the internet or at your local boat shop.

Meguiars Endurance is a good product to use on your tires. It's also a good idea to wax your wheels with your favorite wax, this make the brake dust wash off a little easier.

And of course if you have a plastic rear window you need to get some Plexus. This too you'll have to find on the internet or maybe at your local Petsmart (it's used for aquarium cleaning).

Oh yeah, Honda recommends that you use Shin Etsu silicon grease on the seals for the convertible top. That is the seal that is all along the top of the windshield and on the seals on the top that seal the door windows. I use it on the door seals and the rubber seals that are on the front and back of the hood. I also use the Shin Etsu grease on the trunk seal. Your local Honda dealer or H and A (site sponsor) is the place to get Shin Etsu.

There's a ton of additional info out there on this stuff, spend some time the wash and wax forum and you can find out a lot.

I use Lexol to clean the leather surfaces then condition it with Jaguar Hide Food. Very pleased with the results.

I'm glad I not the only one with a micro-fiber towel in the secret compartment.

I like to keep it simple. I use Zaino leather conditioner for the seats and 303 for everything else(dash, doors, and center console).
