There should be a professional auto body and detail store somewhere around you. Go in there and just ask him what products to use. Armoral and shit will just crack your dash and most of the others will over time. What you are trying to avoid is using a different product for everything. Professional products will be combos were 3 bottles will do your whole car you can do the engine bay and rims and plastics with same cleaner and the leather and the dash with another. Just makes your job easier and look better. |
About the best leather conditioner around is Lexol. I have used it for years. I absolutely swear by it and have used it on all my leather goods since the 1970's. I use it 2 - 3 times a year on the leather seats of my summer driven only '90 RX. The interior is as clean and flawless as yours. Once conditioned, the look and feel lasts about 2 months. Not inexpensive. About $8.00 for an 8 oz bottle. You can find it at higher end leather sale and repair stores.
For the plasic and my vert top I use 303 Protectant. Icemark had recommended it. Also not cheap. About $12 US a 16 oz bottle. It does not attract dust at all and does not give you the cheap glossy look of the protectants you get at auto stores or Walmart. I found it at a marine supply store. Boat owners I know swear by it. Along with the UV block to prevent fading, the principlel benefit of a good protectant is to maintain the plastizers. They prevent plastic from drying and becoming brittle. The lousey plastic and plastizer content Mazda used in the 7 is responsible all the moans from owners about their broken interior parts. I have used Maguires but prefer Zaino waxes. Does not seem to last quite as long and is more expensive but it gives a much richer and deeper appearence. I know someone with a classic show car who uses Zaino. Some would say its the very best. Requires application of at least 3 solutions. Again not cheap. Search their website for more info. |

Looks as clean as my GTUs when i brought it home! There's just something damn cool about bringing home a nice clean FC, too bad mine didn't stay clean long, it's full of garbage from a couple 1000 mile roadtrips, lol. Nice damn car tho!
