Pleather and plastic protection?

What do you guys use to protect your "leather" and interior plastic from cracking and fading.

Leather conditioner.

The door panel inserts are pleather... The seats are real leather.

The dash, and plastics, I simply wipe down with a mild dawn and warm water mix. Not a fan of applying solvants on the plastics.

Mequires leather conditioner.

It doesnt make the seats unaturally shiny, and helps keep the leather soft to prevent cracking.

My seats look brand new still. Love the stuff.

No, the seats feel natural as they should. I wouldnt use a product that causes a fake shine or oily feeling.

Not sure if the little bit of leather on the SS/TC seats is the same as the SS/SC. Regardless, the Mequires conditioner will work for ya.

I recommend wipping the leather down with a mild dawn and warm water mix first. It will help remove any dirt and grime w/o drying out the leather.

Solvents over time dry out plastics and other materials. I agree with Staged about Megs leather conditioner, I use it as well. If you are going to use ANY dressing on the interior, only user water based products. Armor All is the worst thing on the planet for you to use.

I use Lexol for the leather seats. For the plastics/rubbers, 303 product works great for me.
