Default recomended cleaners/conditioners

I'm wanting to know what cleaners/conditioners are recomended to be used on my Volvo XC90 interior. Need to know what to use on the dash/door panels and what to use on the leather.

I use this http://www.turtlewax.com/main.taf?p=2,1,3,4 on my dash and plastic trim because it has uva/uvb sun protection and down here in Florida the sun can fade and dry most of the plastics. For leather, I ONLY use this cleaner http://www.bickmore.com/bickmore/Lea...are/Bick1.html and conditioner http://www.bickmore.com/bickmore/Lea...are/Bick4.html. My 850 had super dry leather and used this and it looks almost brand new.

You can also use neatsfoot oil to condition the leather.

Thanks, i'll look into those. My XC came from florida so the leather is a little dry but not too bad. I'm wanting to bring it back to life. It has tinted front windows (aftermarket) so i guess that has saved it for the most part.

What about wash/wax options for the exterior? its a Black car so i'm a little worried about using the wrong thing.

Lexol is also some good cleaner/conditioner....

ZANOS is great. there are some other good ones.
Also look into a claybar kit to really make the outside shine.

+1 on Zanos! That stuff is AMAZING! I also like Liquid Glass. The only thing I dont like IMO about Lexol is that is water based so it tends to dry out faster than an oil based conditioner, but it is still good stuff!
