I've just always uses armor-all for my previous vehicles.

Should I be using something else in the dash and seats of the new 15 is 359 f sport?

303 Aerospace Protectant is second to none! This offers the best UV protection. It is also anti-static repelling both dirt and water. It also prevents stain, and dye transfers.

303 Aerospace Protectant has been proven and used by many pros as well. It received hundreds of positive reviews everywhere.

You can use it on almost all surface in the interior with 303. It also makes the surface like new with just little bit of shine.

I have tried Armor-all on my previous ride.That thing doesn't protect but DESTROY your interior! Do not ever use it again lol. Google it too to see more horror stories regarding that brand.

I am not sure what is best, but I am pretty sure that Armor All is not it. 303 is great stuff. It is available in lots of places, including West Marine and other marine supply places. I am sure there are lots of other products equally good, but it is reasonably priced and works very well.

I've been using Mother's VLR. I just use a little bit. Just a damp cloth will clean vinyl. Everyone seems to swear by 303!

I've actually stopped using 303 on the dashboards of my cars, as it takes too much care to avoid an uneven appearance (I'm using this on a bunch of different cars with a bunch of different dash materials and textures, not just a Lexus). I've switched to Optimum Protectant (also called Optimum Leather Protectant) and like it better.

@PondScum, you should try 2 towel methods. Spray 303 protectant onto the 1st towel evenly (not dashboard) and then apply that onto the dashboard. Then use 2nd towel to wipe off the excess and buff. It works wonder for me.

Yeah, I do that, and it looks perfect in the garage, then I pull the car out into the sun and it looks a little blotchy. This is on my Acura SUV, not our IS C. With OPP it's spray-on, wipe-off and it never looks uneven. I had to resort to a wipe-down with a damp microfiber towel with 303, and that was just too much trouble, plus I figured it was eliminating streaks by removing most of the product from the surface.

I use 303, Mothers VLR and Mequires quick interior detailer and sometimes just a damp MF. Can't seem to tell much of a difference.

If your car is parked outside 24/7 under heavy CA sun, with 303 protectant and without 303, you can tell a difference after some weeks of UV damage. I have bought and tested various products. 303 by far out-perform others in term of UV protection.

@PondScum, I use damp microfiber or Meguairs interior detailer to clean the surface before I apply 303. Also, I apply it twice to get complete coverage of the dash to prevent the high/low spot issue.

FSportIS is correct on all points. 303 is awesome stuff. Used it on my BMW - seats, dash and door panels looked like new after 12 years.
