Here is a list of great advice....
Don't forget, we have a car care forum here. Here is my culled list of some interesting posts (although I don't spend nearly enough time on that board):<ul><li><a href="http://sonolithics.com/files/a6_links.html#brakes">http://sonolithics.com/files/a6_links.html#brakes</a</li></ul>

I like . . .
A California Dash Duster for the dash. It's so quick and easy, it's hard to believe it does such a great job. I use Zaino leather products with a soft brush for the Leather. They're also quick and easy, and have kept the ecru leather in my '01 2.7T pretty much like new after 45K.

Here you go.
Lexol Leather Cleaner on Seats and Door panel(leather part)
Followup with Armor All Leather Care. I like to use on steering wheel as well, as your salty hands will deteriorate it quickly. Works OK and smells great. Apply, rub in, do whole car and follow up with clean part of towel to buff.
Lexol works the best for supple leather but I like the way Armor all smells. If you do often enough, you can avoid the expensive stuff.
Dash - armor all, lightly, if too greasy, dirt will stick.

Meguires rubber and vinyl treatment for dash and other vinyl and Meguires leather treatment from MB
the Mercedes formulaiton by Meguires is the best that I have found. It is much better IMO than Lexol or Zaino leather treatment. The Meguires vinyl treatment is easy to use and does not leave the shiny residue of others, but brings the dash back to the rich finish that it was delivered with.

I use the Pledge Grab-it version, I love that stuff
it does a fantastic job of getting dust and mild grime off the dash and plastic surfaces.
I keep a box in the garage next to the car. FYI, you can use each sheet a coupla times before you toss it so a box can last a long time.
