Default Interior Trim maintenance

Can anyone tell me what interior trim polish they use? Done mine this weekend with the usual halfords stuff and not really impressed?

Thanks

I've never found a good one so use a damp synthetic chamois.

Always works !...no shine, no smell, no sticky residue.

I use Zaino 'leather in a bottle' which works equally well on plastic. I can't say it is better than any other interior cleaner but it does give off a nice leather smell.

Armorall low gloss for dash. Zaino L-I-A-B for leather.

Best thing to get rid of the dust on the dials and the dash is the wife's swiffers. Then AutoGlym plastic/rubber restorer.

I very nearly agree..........I have compared Zaino 'Leather in a bottle' with Zymol 'treat' and whilst the Zaino smells amazing, it doesnt (IMHO) do such a good job of restoring and preserving the look of the leather. With the Zaino my (red) leather quickly starts to look slightly pinky, whereas with the Zymol it keeps a lovely deep arterial blood red colour for at least a couple of weeks

Ian.
Have never used Zymol, so can't say how good it is. Have to agree with the comment on Zaino, but it does smell nice and as long as it feeds the leather it will do.

As for you CC you need some Bromide
