Hi all, brought myself a 2015 storm a couple months back and its time to start looking after the interior, Seeing it has that red stitching around not sure what product to what to use over the dash and trims so if anyone got some tips it would be great.
thanks

303 Aerospace Protectant will both clean and UV protect rubber, vinyl, plastics and leather.

It has a matte finish and doesn’t leave a film and it’s the only thing I use on my car interior, engine bay, tyres and black windscreen, window and roof strips.

I guess it depends on how fanatical you are, but it keeps those parts of my car clean to a standard that suits me.

Seconded!
I have a few young kids and the alcantara gets a bit dirty sometimes. The only other thing I use is bowden's fabracadabra with a detailing brush, get that clean, then follow everything up with 303.

Best price is now eBay. Too expensive in physical shops.

I cleaned and restored the alcantara in my Calais with Mothers All Purpose Cleaner (APC) worked in with an old tooth brush and wiped with a microfibre cloth. Then a light go over with Mothers VLR. Then use the tooth brush to sweep the grain to dress the trim to that next level.
