I have used Eagle one for my leather. It seems to make the leather really soft and clean.

You are going to laugh at me for this but.... I use lemon fresh pledge for dusting.... Keeps the dust off, smells good. ;) I don't like to put stuff on the vinyl because some contain chemicals which react with the plastics and cause the outer layer to ooze. When it needs it I use mild soap and water on a damp rag to clean it up.

I have used Fantastic for cleaning upholstery, vinyl, and leather. It probably isn't the best, but it works. I also use comet cleanser, and a plastic scrub brush on my tires. It cleans the white letters up great, also cleans the black rubber good.

I use leather treatment from Griot's garage. It brings back the new smell and softens it, too. I just clean with warm water and a little hand soap.

I got a vinyl treatment kit by Stoner that comes in spray cans. The vinyl hard top for my car was stored for 4 years in a body shop garage, and was covered in dust. I cleaned it with soap and water and then their Trim Cleaner, then sprayed a couple of coats of Trim Shine and it looks like new (except for the rip).

One of the guys in my club recomended a product called back to black. He uses it on his Road Runner and his top looks fantastic. I think it is by Mothers ( Muthers whatever ). I tried it out before the show and shine. It really made the vinal top look great, however I had some moisture on the top and it turned a little grey. Next time I do the car, I will apply a second coat ( with the top completely dry ) and see how it does.

Guages: Stay away from any window cleaner with amonia. I like to use a really old diaper since they get very soft after many time in the washing machine. No softner, of course. The Endust for computers works great! Provides some static control. Just spray a little on the soft cloth and gently brush across plastic guage covers.

For my leather, I have found a local product that cleans very well. Since I never have my tops in, unless I get caught in the rain, I like to use a cleaner and a conditioner which offer UV protection. I use the same products on the '98 Pace Car. That top is never up, well almost never. I condition the leather in both cars on a weekly basis in the summer when they are in the sun a great deal. It takes a bit of time, but pays off ten fold in the end.
