A lot of us are nearing or past the one year mark of owning our FL5s and, to keep things looking great, I wanted to make a thread for recommendations for interior cleaners/protectants. Please post your recommendations for both cleaners and treatments for various surfaces in the FL5 such as the glass, vinyl, alcantara, etc.

I recently hopped on the Sonax bandwagon for alcantara care and it is 100% worth it in my opinion. A little Sonax and brushing does wonders!

Also, is anyone else having issues with jean dye transfer on your seats? My standard black jeans are definitely rubbing off onto the red of my driver's seat and I'm not sure what the best method of removal would be. Some sort of steam vac?

For the interior I recommend the following:

Nextzett Cockpit Premium
Aerospace 303
GYEON Q2M Interior Detailer

Unless your interior is absolutely filthy you shouldn't have to use these products often and you shouldn't need much of it. Less is more. A lot of what I find in the interior simply needs to be vacuumed up or blown out with a blower tool like the MetroBlaster or a leaf blower.
