Lucas Interior Detailer i know lucas? yeap they have also a quick detailer as well and i love both product . the interior cleaner is great for leather but the trick i use is a toothbrush or something soft and while still wet on the surface just brush over and you'll see the dirty being lifted right off then wipe and bam now for the rest of the car i have beige interior and now it look brand new and rich

+1 for Meg's Quik Interior Detailer. This cleaner is my goto for interior cleaning, leather, vinyl and plastic. It has good cleaning power and UVA/UVB protection. It's safe for use on NAV screens and instrument clusters.

Meg's QID works on plastics, vinyl, leather, rubber, metal and NAV screens. I use it in my own vehicles weekly. This is an particularly good way to keep your leather in good shape as it removes the dust and dirt that is so abrasive as you slide in and out of the seats.

If you truly want a one step product for cleaning and protecting I'd recommend the Optimum (OPT) Opti-Clean. It's a new product that is amazing at cleaning and protecting virtually your entire your interior. Another good option is the Meguiar's Ultimate Quik Detailer.

If you want a two step process here is what I would recommend. For the leather use the Poorboy's World Leather Stuff. It's an easy to use leather cleaner and conditioner. After that I use the Einszett 1Z Cockpit Premium on virtually the rest of the entire interior (dashboard, doors, console, doors, trim, etc.). It's a cleaner that can also protect the surface. Best of all it leaves behind a very fresh look but still matte looking. It's not greasy or oily at all and I can't get enough of it.

FWIW, Meg's just introduced QID in 1 or 5 gallon sizes in their Detailer lineup. I use a ton of this so the gallon size is ideal.

Their New Product Announcement:

I suspect one or more of our vendors here might handle Meg's QID. It should also be available at most auto supply stores locally and perhaps Walmart or Target.

UQD is pretty slick (slippery) stuff and might make your leather seats and/or steering wheel slippery so not a good idea to try this on the interior. UQD also is pretty glossy and could make your dash too shiny and cause glare.

Best to use the right products for the task.

If you're just a regular guy with 1 or 2 cars, I don't think you'll need a gallon unless you're OCD and clean the interior twice a day.

He's right. Unless you are doing a lot of cars, the smaller bottles go a long way. But if you have leather furniture in your home this stuff works well on them too. There are a lot of things this works well on in the home like computers, LCDs, appliances, pianos, guitars, wood, etc.
