There are lots of products/brands for cleaning vinyl. Armor All, Mothers etc... Different material, different cleaning solutions needed.

I just assume that everything with stitching in it is leather and the rest is vinyl.
You can use dilute woolite to clean everything. My recomendation is Zaino Leather In a Bottle for the leather and 303 Aerospace for the vinyl, but either product can be used for both, and there are other very good products available. For the clear coated wood trim I use Zaino All In One.

YOu can use this stuff on vinyl as well, but it's pricey.

I go through alot of it, so I buy it in the 5 gallon containers, but it's great stuff!!!!
