Maguire's is ok but you can certainly see a bigger improvement with a dedicated cleaner.
This is the Griot's interior cleaner.

When you use the cleaner with a microfiber towel you will be impressed with how much baked on grim and oil actually comes off the surfaces. The all in one cleaner/protector will never remove as much grime because it just moves it around and builds up the oily residue.

Then you can use this product for protection.

What I have always noticed is once you remove the build up the interior looks brighter not glossy. It also has the appearance of staying cleaner looking also.

Sounds good. I am running low on Meguiars, so this is likely a near future purchase. Thanks.

Like DevH, I use a dedicated interior cleaner...in my case Meguiars Interior Detaling spray. Very mild and very effective, with no film left behind or harsh chemicals.

Good luck.
I use this as well...great stuff. You can spray it anywhere, it's very gentle and I never have to worry about damaging anything...they make a nice non oily protectant too that I sometimes will use.

I took it in and the dealer covered it! It is an amazingly expensive piece of trim, $3200! Evidently the nav unit and trim are an assembly. I'm not complaining!

Can you use Griots on light color leather surfaces?
