So i am about to do my first majror detail on this car after about 1 month of ownership and have a couple questions about which products I should use on what parts of the interior and exterior. I basically have plastic, leather, rubber, and everything in between cleaner but i am not sure about some of the materials in the car.

1) the dash - feels like leather but i dont know. Do i use leather conditioner or plastic/dashboard conditioner?

2) the door panel - i am guessing i use leather conditioner for the leather and plastic conditioner for the plastic correct?

3) outside plastic trim on the doors (the piano black peices) - I have no idea what to use on these things.

4) wood trim on dash (i know it is not real wood so what should i use?)

Thanks in advance for all the input.

 

There is product for black exterior plastic available, though I can't think of the name. Generally it works well but the difference is more noticeable on older cars with faded plastic.

The wood is real wood. I believe it is cut and finished by a division of Yamaha.

 

This is what I use on my IS350 and for 7 years on my 4Runner. If you really want to go nuts and spend a lot on detailing go to autopia.org forums. Those guys are detailing fanatics.

1) the dash - feels like leather but i dont know. Do i use leather conditioner or plastic/dashboard conditioner? The dash is foam padded type of plastic. I use some water and a rag to wipe it down and spray Aerospace 303 protectant. It doesn't leave any oily residue and leaves it looking like stock.

2) the door panel - i am guessing i use leather conditioner for the leather and plastic conditioner for the plastic correct? I use Lexol leather cleaner and spray a little Aerospace 303 protectant on it. Once in a while I use Zaino's leather in the bottle in place of the 303 protectant.

3) outside plastic trim on the doors (the piano black peices) - I have no idea what to use on these things. Same as question 1

4) wood trim on dash (i know it is not real wood so what should i use?) I don't have sports pkg so I can't answer this question.
