Microfiber towel and warm water.
To give a little luster and cleaning - glycerin or Zymol vinyl.

I just got a 4oz sample bottle of this from Chemical Guys



I used it to clean up the interior of a 2006 Honda Pilot, which from the look of it hadn't been cleaned since 2006! Works better than anything else I have tried. This stuff, a damp microfiber towel, and Mr. Clean is pretty much is all you need for the interior of a car with SensaTec seats.

I've used interior detail spray from Adams with great results.

This. I switched to some other brand just to try something new. I regret it. The Adam's stuff is great. I'll be going back to it very soon.

I've been using that for years. Not sensatec had leather but enough of the rest of the interior was plastic. Anyway all of it looked great on my coupe for the 2 years that I had it. Using the same stuff on the new convertible.

Has anybody used vinyl dressing? Seems a bit overkill, but I've seen it recommended elsewhere.

I've found that a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser works just find on my Oyster (beige) SensaTec seats. I wear dark denim a lot, and this rubs off on the seat, but removes just fine using a Magic Eraser every so often...

I use Lexol Vinylex and use a damp microfiber towel. Awesome without leaving the seats too shiny.

Mother's VLR has been in my cleaning arsenal for years. Good stuff!

When cleaning anything, always try to use the least harsh product first.

I'm a fan of Nextzett Plastic Cleaner. Smells great and cleans without leaving a film.
