I use Armor All Cleaning Wipes. Reason is they were able to get sunscreen off the seats very easily and dont dry out in their container so I can leave them in the car without worry.

Leatherique two part cleaner and conditioner. Cleaners, alone, dry out the material. A two part isn’t much more effort than a wipe but over time seats remain supple. aspx Home PageHey everyone, I'm just curious as I just picked up my 3 a few weeks ago and am wondering what your using to clean your seats during an interior detail.

As someone who has been detailing cars as a side hobby for a few years this thread hurts to read. There's 2 parts to properly cleaning leather.
1. Removal (cleaning with dedicated leather cleaner) you'll want to remove your human oil off the leather pores, not just visible dirt
2. Protection, the leather will dry out and crack if not properly protected
I use Ammo leather cleaner and then follow it up with Ammo leather protection, don't like it shiny? Wait 10 min after application and run a clean MF over the area, it'll remove the reflection but leave behind protection.
Honestly what product you use is up to you (please for the love of anything you find holy No Clorox wipes on leather) just remember you gotta clean out the pores in the leather then protect them.
Here's a good explanation on the whole process.

Very useful for leather seats. However, the interior of the model 3 (besides the steering wheel) is not leather, it’s polyurethane.
DittoI use Optimum No Rinse (ONR) in a spray bottle and a micro fiber towel to wipe it. Cleans nicely, not shiny and haven't had any issues. ONR is a lubricant mild soap and you use distilled water with about an ounce of ONR. Very mild cleaning agent.
Just bought some ONR. What's the ratio of water to ONR?I use Optimum No Rinse (ONR) in a spray bottle and a micro fiber towel to wipe it. Cleans nicely, not shiny and haven't had any issues.

ONR works great for the exterior and to some extent the interior. Unfortunately, it does not do very well removing sunscreen ( at least not the brand I use for my kids).I use Optimum No Rinse (ONR) in a spray bottle and a micro fiber towel to wipe it.
