What are you all using to clean the leather and fabric textured plastic stuff inside?

I’ll take the bait…How?!
Hahaha, well I can’t give it up entirely, but lets just say car care products are filled in only 2 or 3 factories and mixed by most of the same chemists..they just pass formulas and branding around.

Torque Detail has everything you’ll possibly need. They have a ceramic coating for the interior.

I had a 18’ with regular leather seats, then a 19’ with Recaro’s. On the longer hauls, I felt like the regular seats in the 18’ were more comfortable (for me). The regular leather seats in my 22’ are on another level and way more comfortable to me. Feel like Ford make a huge improvement here.

This plastic stuff is a super weird texture. Don't want to use the wrong cleaner on it.
Dishsoap and warm water. Twice a year light leather conditioner. Worked on tens of my cars throughout the past 20 years from BMW, Porsche to Ford Raptor.

As I read through this thread I thought "does anyone use soap and water"? It's hard to beat, especially price wise. I've tried the name brand cleaners and still come back to a bucket of hot water with a teaspoon of Dawn dish soap, and (when really dirty and need of deodorizing ie. dog mess) a splash of clear ammonia. This method has served my detailing work for decades. And, as far as UV protection goes, I'm not a total believer in all of that. My interiors have never had an issue, ever, with cracking. After 25 years in the sun even the best maintained dashboards will fade, protectant or not.
For the leather, I've always used Lexol cleaner and conditioner. It's been around for over 100 years and was recommended by Rolls Royce (back in the day when I detailed them) for their interiors so I imagine it would work alright on a Ford.
This method does a good job. No phony odors, just the smell of clean and leather.
