Default Cleaning my interior?

Hey, I have an 01 S4 with the alcantara inserts, first question is how do I know if I have leather or the leatherette? Second question is what is a good product to use for wiping down the dash? I have a ton of armor all but I heard that is not the best stuff to use. And my last question is what should I use to condition and protect the leather?

seats are leather IIRC...
so use any good leather conditioner - all the major brands have sprays / wipes
that will do the job. Click here for more info on interior detailing
Dont use armorall on the dash..[&:]

the alcantara inserts - use a very very lightly damp cloth towel & spot clean.. no soap needed.
if they get bad - you can use Mr. Clean Erasers - just rub lightly !

You have leather, audi didnt make the S4 with cheap stuff, if you want a nice shine and UV protection used vinylex, it like a milky type armorall, but not oil based. as for leather id highly recommend lexol leather conditioner, they sell cleaner and conditioner, but you can get away with just the conditioner.it really works good, i used it on my leather and it went from rough and dry to nice and smooth.

Ibiz, its made in France; highly expensive but works wonders. They have a website. You can get a package deal that comes with there car wash, instant detailer, wax, leather cleaner and conditioner for about 100 bucks. This stuff is highly worth it. If you wax your ride with Ibiz, you can spray paint your auto paint and their instant detailer will wipe it right off. Stuff is amazing!

Sorry, just looked it up, the kit is 60 bucks but that does not include the leather conditioner and cleaner.
