Recommendations for cleaning interior?

Does anyone have any good recommends on what they use to detail there interiors? I want to avoid streaks and that wet look.

Thanks!

I use autoglym leather conditioner, it smells exactly like new bmw leather and leaves no greasiness.

As previously mentioned in multiple threads: Babywipes.

Lint free, unscented, Ph Neutral, and a mild detergent action that can still deal with the outputs of the biological WMDs that are young children. So, it will cope with anything you might have split on the interior.

Cheap as too...

Oh, and hypoallergenic.

Edit: Multi-surface too, if that wasn't already obvious from the reference to young children.

I simply use interior CLEANER, nothing else. I currently use P+S Interior Cleaner but I also like Adam's Interior Cleaner. No interior detail spray, no leather conditioners, balms, or anything like that. My philosophy is to keep things clean and that's it...especially with leather. Keep it clean and free of dirt/oil from skin and it will look like new. I hate shiny leather, it's an indication that the leather pores are dirty. I wipe my steering wheel and seats down every few months with interior cleaner and leave it at that. People go way way overboard with products that only clog up the leather.

The plastics, rubber and leather need hydration, the right products do not leave residues.

This leather is coated anyway. It barely has pores to clog. It gets shiny from friction, mainly. Still, I agree that with leather this highly processed there’s no real need for conditioner etc.

in your experience, how long does the conditioned leather smell last after application and drying? and how many times a year are you applying this to your seats? tyia
