I use a microfiber towel with soapy water. Just a little bit of soap, maybe a few drops per liter. Then follow with a microfiber with water. I hate glossy oily interiors, plus on hot days the gloss volatilizes and leaves the windows with a sheen.

Yep. I use Meguiar's interior detailer on plastic areas, but for the NuLuxe and Leather portions, I just use a damp, warm microfiber cloth. I think the leather on the steering wheel in particular looks nicer when I don't use any sort of product on it when cleaning. I do have some Lexol leather conditioner that I periodically apply as well.

When it comes to interior, keep it simple. I use a microfiber with rinseless wash solution in a spray bottle with distilled water (super duper duper duper cheap and super subtle/gentle yet effective) or baby wipes for 95% of my maintenance.

If there's anything more stubborn, I use Cockpit Premium. That's it. Done. And my interior is white white white. Always showroom new and matte. Do not overthink and do not overly-man the thought process and think there's a magic product or magic chemical or magic process. In a nutshell: go light and go gentle. The secret is going often so you don't need strong cleaners/chemicals.

Great post and blog E46CT. I agree: keep it simple and maintain your interior often. I love the P&S line as well. The interior detailer and brake buster are great for my 2016 RX and 2023 NX. I’ve also used the Lithium G Series trim restorer on the 2016 exterior plastic.
I struggle to maintain the piano gloss plastic on the interior and exterior, especially the B pillars. What do you use?
