Default ES350 Interior Dashboard, Leather Maintenance

Can someone recommend a product to clean, remove some scratches and treat the dashboard, leather seats and leateher door panels? I don't want a shine on the door panels or dashboard. Thanks.

I prefer Sonus Total Eclipse for plastic/vinyl. It leaves a matt finish, SP-40 UV. 303 Aerospace Protectant is a good choice but has more shine. I don't know any product that fixes scratches in plastic....I only use Plexus on clear plastic (instruments) and screens, window tint and wood trim applied with a super fine micro-fiber towel made just for these surfaces. Any quality MF should work OK. Perforated leather is "new" to me...so here's what I will do for now...I'll clean mine with - 1 Woolite to 12 distilled water - barely damp on a microfiber and then "damp rinse" with distilled water on a MF. Will lightly spray wth Sonus, maybe even 303 for the ultra-violet protection. I am positive these products work well but there may be other products that work better...

I like to use Meguiar's brand of cleaners. They have stuff for vinyl, plastic and leather.

I second that one on the Meguiar's brand. They have a excellent product, Gold Class Vinyl/Rubber Protectant. It's non-greasy and provides UV protection as well. It's great for small nicks on the lower door panel caused by your shoe while exiting. Try it!!
