Interior cleaning products

What does everyone use for thier dash and trim inside?? I've been using a product by Liquid Glass called Connoseuirs Choice (sp). It seems to work pretty good and has a nice smell to it but sometimes its a little slippery when applied.

I just use a paper towel and water. I cannot stand that nasty greasy shine that Armor All puts out. I don't see why anyone would want that on their dash.

Does anyone know of a product that REALLY does remove the smell of smoke from the interior of a car? The seats are leather. Any input will be appreciated.

I use Lexol Vinylex on interior/exterior plastics and on my tires.....available at Pep Boys....works well, believe it does not contain silicone...like Armour-All type products...so no glare/greasey residue. Another frequent poster uses Pledge on interior surfaces with good results. Would jus try to stay away from products with silicone...which will eventually discolor rubber surfaces.

First of all, clean the leather with Lexol or similar and shampoo the carpets. Next, stick a couple of fabric softener dryer sheets under the seats. Change them out every few days for a couple of weeks. If this doesn't work, find a specialty detailing shop that uses an ionizer to zap the smell. My 1988 M6 was owned by a chain smoker but the odor eventually disappeared completely.

If the odors are from the leather, use a leather cleaner, as div2 said. If it is not, and is everywhere, use Meguiar's Odor Elimiator. It removes it and doesn't come back.

I hate dust on my dash. Vacuuming is OK, but I hate taking the time to lug it out and put it back. A good alternative is Pledge "grab it" electrostatic cloths. They're about 98% effective in removing the dust without just spreading it around. They leave no residue and they're cheap!
I hope this helps someone.
