How to protect center console - Honda Pilot

sepher · 08-19-2009, 11:33 AM

New pilot owner and the car is extremely clean (06 EX-L) and want to make sure I keep the interior looking grerat. I scoured thru the previous post and just want to make sure I'm applying the "correct" product on the interior. Looks like Armor-All is not a favorite choice but what is a quality product to use on the vinyl? center console, steering wheel, instrument panel and dash? Also the seats look good but I'm sure they have never been cleaned. Z-10 looks to have been a past favorite. Still a good choice? Thanks in advance for your comments.

I have had great success with keeping my '04 looking good with just a damp microfiber cloth - never used any "protectant" product. A damp microfiber cloth will clean, pickup any dust and maintain the factory matte finish. If you want more of a sheen but not that wet/greasy look, Meguiar's Vinyl & Rubber Conditioner is a good product. For leather seats I've been partial to Griot's Garage Leather Care. It cleans and conditions in one step and keep the leather looking and smelling great.

I use 303 Aerospace Protectant for interior and Zaino for leather.

+1 for the 303. Will give a factory matte finish plus it protects.

another vote for 303 - leaves a nice matte finish

Works great on tires and trim too - much nicer IMO than many of the greasy tire dressings out there.
