Default Cleaning interior

What do you guys use to clean/shine your XB interior? I dont want to use something that will mess the panels or dash or would leave any residues..

It's more of a protectant than a cleaner though.

meguiar's quick interior detailer, mist and wipe, is pretty good. cleans well and doesnt leave a glossy finishing. I hate the armor all look. matte is the best! 303 aerospace protectant also accomplishes the same thing

303 works great. I used to use it when I had my Silverado. I would treat the tonneau cover with it and do the interior plastics and dash. I loved that it wasn't real greasy or glossy. The only two problems with 303 are the cost and the smell. If I remember correctly, I think it's something like $15 a bottle. Also, I just couldn't take that smell. When I would use it for my interior, I could hardly stand to get in the truck for a few days. Meguiar's Tech Protect smells great.

Not only that, but that Armor all type of 'protectant' leaves that oily residue that actually makes dust stick to it. Not to mention the terrible build up over time. I can't beleive people still use it.

Murphy's oil Soap and water.
It actually cleans the interior, doesnt leave a residue and doesnt work as those so called "protectants" in that they make your interior dependant upon it.
Leaves a great new car smell too.

I am still under 1K miles, but I only use distilled H2O and a microfifiber cloth to slean the interior. Leaves NO smell (which lets the "new car smell" shine through) and is totally safe for plastics.
