Best product for interior cleaning of dash and seats?

I have an 08 targa with carmel interior and the passenger side of the dash has a stain, coffee, what is the best cleaner anyone can recommend?

High quality cleaners include Lexol, Sonus and Leatherique. I use Lexol, but will probably try Sonus when my bottle runs out.

I recommend using Porsche's own leather cleaner - very, very good. Available from your dealer. After cleaning, if leather, treat it sparingly w/ Sonus Leather Conditioner.

Any reason you can't use a damp cloth to clean the leather?

Does Sonus leather conditioner leave the leather glossy looking?

I learned this from a professional auto detailer. For stains in leather upholstery, use a small amount of 90% Isopropyl rubbing alcohol. Don't use the 70% variety, go straight for the 90% stuff. Try it on a place that doesn't show to make sure it won't take off more than the stain.. Once the stain is off, use a good quality leather treatment to treat the leather.

I think you'll be pleased with the results.

If used according to instructions, the Sonus will not leave the glossy look. It's satin finish like the OEM leather.

No reason, however if the leather/vinyl is dirty a damp cloth may not be enough.

Applied according to directions leaves the surface with its factory look - no extra sheen. Others do add shine, such as Lexol, and also stretch the leather..
