Damp microfiber cloth with water first...let dry.
"Meguiars Natural shine" on composite bits.
"Meguiars Leather cleaner and conditioner", sometimes "Farnum Leather New" on all leather bits.
"Stoner Invisible Glass Cleaner" on glass, mirrors, and dash lenses. (alcohol based and never streaky)
After vacuuming/Hoovering I often use a leaf blower on the interior as well.
I use swiffer dusters a lot!

Glass, meguiars glass cleaner, I'm quite fond of most stuff they sell.

I find a wee detailer a brush kept in your glove box is always handy for getting into the vents etc

Dr Leather Liquid Cleaner - Absolutely brilliant product lifts the dirt with ease...

LTT Auto Protect - Not a conditioner but a protectant for the leather...

Chemical Guys Inner Clean - Cleans and protects the dash and other surfaces leaving a pineapple scent but leaves a matt finish...

Autoglym Glass Polish or Fast Glass
