        I use the Zymol kit. It has a wash, leather cleaner and conditioner, carnauba wax and more. I also have the car professionally detailed once a year. My detailer says the Zymol stuff is outdated and there's better, but I'll just use what I have till it's gone.

        Sonax wheel cleaner is the absolute best though. Highly recommended.

        Is the Lexol blue bottle the best thing for our dashboards? I need to start treating mine to protect against UV.

          Sonax is a great product, but it is pricey. The Flash brown royal has equal or very close to similar results but much cheaper price tag.

          I still have a bottle of the zymol liquid wax, it was a great wax but (I loved the smell of it, Weird, I know..) but tried the Z-AIO and been sticking with that.

          I don't know if the Lexol is the best, but its something that I found that works well for me. Id like to hear suggestions from everyone else on what they use on their dash.

              Bag Balm for the leather.

              Water/couple drops of detergent for precleaning, shortened cheap paint brush.

                Does 303 get stripped away if you have to drive through rain? Obviously, I’m after the exterior black bits. All my exterior black parts look pretty good after they’re treated but if it gets rained on?

                  I use it on the Alpina’s rear spoiler and drove back in a rainstorm a few weeks ago. Looks like it held up, but I may re coat it next spring.

                      Bee Seal on leather wheels, gearshifts, parking brake, etc.

                      It is tacky until absorbed, but never slippery.

                      Blue Dawn for thorough washing.
                      (Strips almost everything off)
                      Wax after using!

                      Oil Eater under the hood, in the parts washer, etc.

                      Brake Clean where Oil Eater slows down.

                      etc
