I've used both Mothers and Simoniz vinyl/leather cleaner sprays. Seem to work ok, cleans without side effects, lingering smell, or residue. Both work quite good on plastic as well, I often use these sprays in the engine compartment to keep all the plastic pieces looking sharp. My engine bay is as clean as my interior.

I use Adam's Polishes products on my complete Interior. They have all sorts of general purpose Interiror Cleaner
https://adamspolishes.com/collection...erior-cleaning

They have Leather Conditioner as well
https://adamspolishes.com/collection...s-revitalizers

A lot of folks don't like the product line. I discovered it when I retired and was looking for a hobby and decided I'd keep my car clean. They have a million videos on how to use their products and proper cleaning process as well. Great if you are picky on how it's done. PLUS the prices are decent. They ALWAYS have a discount going, especially Black Friday and Christmas.

303 =‘s 000. Ok fair enough if you did not like it. It’s a cleaner protectant not a high gloss look. Unlike Armorall it’s breathable… surfaces won’t crack in time.

I do not like Gloss either and will NEVER use Armorall on anything. I owned a Windshield Repair Franchise for awhile. That was when I learned all about Armorall.

For the record, I hate Chrome and Glossy Tires too. But I do like Shiny Paint. I like the Matte Finishes on vehicles but I'd never own it. I just spent $210 to buy Black Roof Rails to replace the Silver/Gray (whatever color it is) on my NX. It's a White vehicle with all Black Trim except for the Roof Rails and that Chrome piece on the side mirrors I can't find a replacement for anywhere.

I guess when I used the 303 Protectant I didn't see what it did or didn't do. I used the complete bottle and never really saw an impact so I moved on. I don't dislike the 303 I just don't see what others see in it. There are other options and I chose to move on for the 303. I guess being in the Air Force stationed all over the world didn't help either as I could never find it.
