Default what's the best way to take care of the fake leather interior in my b5?

As the question says, what's the best way to keep up my interior? I have a '97, black (or more dark grey) fake leather. Do i use those armor all 'leather' wipes? Or other? Thanks for the input.

Chris

Absolutely do NOT use Armorall!
It is silicone based and will dry out your car's interior. It actually does the opposite of what it claims to do.

I use Zymol leather conditioner or Mothers leather conditioner.

NOt fake leather. It's a blend. It's more durable. I highly suggest Meguire's Medallion Leather Cleaner and Conditioner. I use it every two months and I use 303 leather-vinyl-rubber protectant every two weeks. 303 has UV protection to prevent drying out. The Audi stuff is way over priced.

IF you live in the snow belt, with severe changes in temp/humidity you should condition every 2 months. if you don't your leather will start to split and crack. I have seen it numerous times in my shop on customers cars. When I asked how long its been since they conditioned they look at me like I'm speaking a differient language.
