best stuff to clean the insides?

xTIMMYxCOREx

What do you recommend for daily cleaning of the leather and dash of a 370Z touring? I want to keep it looking new!

for dust you can use a dry MF towel or a interior car duster.

for leather i use LeatherCareSpray from Griot's and for the dash and door panels i use Prima Nero.

what about for small, fine scratches on the smooth plastic parts? anything to take them out? it's actually relatively easy to scratch these areas even with just your fingernail

Unfortunately, I don't think any products can take the scratches out of your plastics.

As far as cleaning the interior on a daily basis, a dry or very slightly damp microfiber will do the job. Depending on if you want a dressed or, "like new," matte look on your plastics and vinyl, I'd recommend using 303 Aerospace Protectant for the latter, or a cheaper product like Meguiars' 40 for a dressed look. Stay away from ArmorAll.

ideally you want to dress up the plastics with Prima NERO before you get any scuffs. this is because the protectat makes the surface slick so the textures in the plastic will not catch, inducing a scratch...although it does help minimize the appearance. if your plastic scratch is in the textured part, you might be able to get some dark gray crayon and fill it.

i put a light coat of Nero on my door panels near the speakers because i tend to kick it by accident from time to time. rarely but i do.

I used the ICE Interior Detailer on the plastic parts on my tC, would that still work on the plastic parts in the Z? And can we get some pics of the products to use on the leather parts so I know what I'm looking for? I can't say I've ever seen the producs described of in this thread so far. Or maybe I just wasn't looking for them since I had a cloth interior lol

Awesome thanks! Which one is the best to use on the leather in say a high heat/sunlight environment?

I've had no thouble with this product. There may be better stuff out there, but I like this product. I feel it's better than Meguires.

Lexol is a great product. Top 3 would probably be, in no particular order (depends on the look you want to achieve):

- Lexol (haven't seen it in person)
- Optimum Protectant (dressed looked)
- 303 Aerospace Protectant (soft, satin, like-new look)
