Interior Leather and Plastic Help

Hi I have a 08 audi tt with a black leather interior. I was not sure what to use to condition the leather and plastic. I don't want the leather to get shinny oily or stretch after I apply a conditioner to it. Thus far I have done nothing but its very lightly used.



Does anyone have any recommendations?



As well I have a very rough mat plastic interior. Does anyone have any non gloss recommendations to clean and protect the plastic on the dash and doors?



Thanks for your help!

I have only used Meguiars Gold class Leather cleaner/conditioner and the detailer line cleaner/conditioner.



Read a lot about where just H2O and a towel is good, just keeping leather clean works wonders



Megs natural shine protectant works for a matte, natural shine on dash and doors etc...

Black Magic 2n1 Leather Cleaner/Conditioner.

I like Turtle Wax Ice Total Interior Care for doing the inside of the car since it leaves a natural finish and smells nice. Also unlike most protectants it is thick and doesn't spray/splatter, so you are much less likely to get it on the glass.
 
Optimum Leather Protectant. I use it on everything but the carpet in the interior. Works great and smells awesome

Leather----Leather Master Kit. Keep it clean with the LM Cleaner and protect with the LM protectant.



Vinyl/Plastic-----Keep it clean with 1Z Cockpit and protect with Finish Kare 108.

I have some of the TW ice interior care, it does actually work pretty good too, forgot about that one.
 
I haven't used as many products as most around here.



I'm not sure that you need to "condition" leather as much as keep it clean and protected.



For my 2009 Audi, I clean the leather with a Woolite solution (diluted 10:1) and protect it with 303. More importantly, I brush off the seats frequently to avoid grounding dirt into the leather.



I use 303 to protect the dash and other vinyl/plastic . As far as cleaning it, I've used a towel misted with Griot's Interior cleaner, which, in conjunction with the 303, seems to do a decent job on it, but about the only thing that it has had to remove is dust. I have a bottle of Ultima Interior Clean for emergencies.
