I like Megs APC+ and well hell its the same thing but I like the org. Megs APC but it does foam alot which can help in different areas.

Personally I like Jorgen's cow spit leather cleaner then topped off with Jorgen's leather conditioner.

Vinyl and rubber gets 303 here. Do a few applications a week apart on rubber whether it looks like needs it or not and it'll last a long time. My window trim stays black through the winter (garaged) this way. It looks/works good on dashboards too. I put it on the faux leather door cards now too after I got it on by accident and it looked better and lasted longer than Lexol, which I have been using on the seats. If you apply it liberally and leave it for 20 min before wiping it looks great and lasts a long time. Wiping it right away as the bottle states makes it disappear in a few weeks.

303 goes on my tires too. Gives a nice non glossy highly protective coating. Maybe two applications a couple days apart (without washing them the second time) gives a nice black color that won't wash off unless you specifically scrub them. But just a car/wheel wash wont. It won't sling off or turn brown either.

These are good lower cost products that work well IMO. I've never tried the high dollar stuff though. Didn't see a need. Maybe someday.

i don't use anything besides lexol on my leather. It's the best product you can get IMHO. For everything else I typically use Megs APC+.

I really like the DP interior cleaner. It does a great job and doesn't leave a sticky residue like APC does. Works great on vinyl, rubber, and coated leather. I like stoners carpet cleaner for carpets.

I agree with everybody so far, APC+ for cleaning plastic rubber and vinyl, 303 for protecting these. You asked about really dirty leather, then you might want to check out Leatherique, used once or twice a year it really deep cleans the leather. Here are a couple of reviews of it:

Leatherique & Lexol for the leather.

DP carpet cleaner

CG vinyl & plastic cleaner

I have found that lexol has the best leather cleaning.

As for interior plastics and vinyl, I have been using ultima interior wash gel to clean.

Follow everything with ultima interior guard plus, to protect. This combo leaves a nice matte look to everything and great protection.

Carpets are pretty easily cleaned with APC+ and a steamer. Leaves them fresh.

If your leather is coated as most is, you can clean it with a plastic & vinyl cleaner like 303 or1Z. For leather I use 4 Star, for rubber seals I use DG 531 (Marine Protectant). Gonna try the fantastic new Opti Clean when I do my interiors next!
