How do you detail your Sensatec interiors?

How do you guys detail your Sensatec interiors?

I like how they are durable and low maintenance compared to leather, so I just use Meguair's Ultimate Interior Detailer which cleans and protects. I use the Meguair's on all interior surfaces except glass and screens, and it seems to work well.

What do you guys like to use on your Sensatec interiors?

FWIW: Vinyl Sauce (boat vinyl) did not leave a favorable feel. Neither did Lexol leather cleaner and conditioner.

I use Carpro Perl diluted 1:5 every few months, and Adam's or Carpro interior detailer as needed, I'd say every 2-3 weeks on average

Which Adam's interior detailer? I saw they have a new formula that is SiO2 infused.

I had sensatec in our old 17 X1 and I tried everything under the sun to keep it soft but failed miserably. By 50k miles it was stiff as a board. I think partially what contributed to it was the copious amounts of crap leather products I put on it that ultimately dried it out forever.

Our brand new 23 X1 has the updated sensated which feels vastly more premium. I coated it with Carpro Leather 2.0 in hopes of preserving the original feel, which I think is great for a fake product. In any event, if you're not going with a permenant coating, I would wipe the seats down with a mild leather CLEANER and that's it. Keep em clean and leave them alone.

Another vote for a trusted interior cleaner product. I use:

spicyB48 Just regular Adam's Interior Detailer, about a year old. No mention of SiO2.
Looks great on the seats and dash, but leaves a bit of a oily sheen on the instrument and touch screens, so I won't be buying another bottle.

Adam's Total Interior Cleaner & Protectant is the SiO2 infused one, I think it is better as a cleaner for removing dirt rather than a quick interior detailing product.
