We have a 2018 4Runner TRD Off Road Premium with I believe Softex seats (like a synthetic leather). Want to know what is a good cleaning product to use on the seats, dash, doors and the rest. Also should we put a protectant like Armour-All on those?

I use Meguiar's leather conditioner on everything on the interior. Leaves a nice shine, cleans, conditions.

Aerospace 303. Use on every interior surface except carpet and headliner.

I use the 303 as well. I did the fabric sealant on my seats and water beads nicely. For the dash and stuff I go back and forth between 303 and Griots interior cleaner, I love the smell of it.

303. Seats aren't leather so I can use it on everything

303. It lasts for months and isn’t greasy.

I'm a big fan of the Adams line of detailing products. There's usually a 15% off coupon floating around as well.

303 provides great uv protection as well. Been using it for years on outdoor gear

+1 for 303 on synthetics
+1 for Lexol for moisturizing genuine leather.
Remember that salt (sweat or saltwater) is bad for leather so occasionally wipe leather with damp cloth to remove salts, dry and apply moisturizer. If you wear shorts a lot, cover that part of the seat with something to keep sweat off.
Re: UV Rays...
303 is good but nothing beats using physical shade.

303 on Exterior black plastic molding?

Should I use Aero 303 or car wax on exterior black plastic moldings between front and rear window?

Murphy's Oil Soap in warm water is one of the best interior cleaners.

never Armor All — it contains silicone. for a new vehicle, wipe it down with a damp microfiber and finish with 303 Protectant. if it's really grimy, pre-clean with Griot's Interior Cleaner; great stuff. i like how Klasse Cleaner/Protectant works on older vehicles and plastics/surfaces; really seems to penetrate and restore luster better than others and leaves an even more matte finish than 303.
