My process

Wipe down all surfaces prior to hoovering with a damp MF
Use a soft clean paint brush to clean all the nooks and crannies including air vents
Hoover carpet\mats\seats\parcel shelf etc removing every crumb.
Spray Autoglym Interior Shampoo lightly onto carpet\mats and brush\work the product in with the Meguiars hair extractor\brush (Leaves the carpet & mats soft and smells )
Apply my choice of interior dressing to all interior surfaces with a clean MF.
Refit mats and spray some CG watermellon freshner including the vents leaving a nice smelly finish.

Job done

It should be real leather but any leather surfaces I have treated I have used Gliptone Leather Conditioner and comes highly rated. They also do a leather cleaner aswell

Meguiars Microfibre Applicator Pads are also ace for applying dressings, as they spread liquid products more nicely than the foam pads.
