Sounds wired but baby wipes work a treat

For the dash: Vinylex Protectant by Lexol. http://www.lexol.com/Product_vinylex.aspx

For the leather seats: Lexol Leather Conditioner.

Don't use to much water pressure, you will get water everywhere, even at places you don't want it to be ( inside chassis etc.)
In most cases, just a gardenhose is just fine.

I use Autoglym Vinyl and Rubber Care once every now and then to give it a shine up and then to get rid of dust every week I use the damp microfibre towel I have just dried the car with, works an absolute treat, no greasiness and removes dust as it doesn't leave static so less dust returns!

Absolutely no need for too many products, just the Vinyl and Rubber care every month or so, bottle lasts ages and is good for all plastic, including black bumpers, engine cover, door trims etc.

The Autoglym Leather Care cream is also really good and smells just like leather. I use this on my steering wheel, gear knob and handbrake. Works well.

You can buy it in the US from Amazon.

You can use the shampoo to clean the car.

From the original message it sounds like the OP is not in the UK - is this correct?

I use Autoglym bumper care as it shines nicely and lasts longer than the Vinyl and rubber care.

I have also used the Mr Sheen multi wipes to keep it clean but a satin finish.

She is American based, as far as I understand.
That's one of the reasons I suggest to use Lexol products, cause it's an American brand, and, for me, the best products to use.
I buy it from a German company, who do the import themselfs:

The Zymol products are good as well.

I use the polish but a friend uses the vinyl care one as well and finds that good too.

what does "turn the dash" mean?

I'm always horrified by the extreme costs of Zymol products...

Hi Peter.

yes they are expensive this side of the pond. Maybe they are cheaper in their country of origin

I started using their polish after using a variety of others. Although expensive I find it does leave a nice deep lasting shine to my car/s - which in the main are red, whatever their make.
