1. Leather seats - Meguiar''s All Leather Cleaner/Conditioner
2. Dashboard - 10:1 Water:Woolite mixture and a microfiber cloth
3. Tree sap - Claymagic or Mother''s or Meguiar''s Clay bar kit
4. Scratches (cheap way) - Find a glaze and coat with a good wax
Scratches (expensive) - Find a detailer to polish them out, or polish them out yourself

Just waxed my 08 ES with Meguair''s NXT 2.0. Looks fantastic. Used the paste (vs the liquid), it goes on easy, and wipes off easy. If you accidently get some on the black trim it wipes off easy without leaving a white cloud. Although they call it wax, its actually a sealant paint protector.

The directions on Meguiar''s NXT 2.0 say you can wax your entire car before removing it. Thats assuming of course the car is in the shade. I did my ES in sections and left it on for 15-20 minutes to dry and didn''t have any problems wiping it off.

I also used the Meguiars NXT 2.0 on the alloy wheels and they too look fantastic. Its super slick finish should offer protection from the dirt, grime, and brake dust.

They did an asphalt overlay on the road in front of the community I live in, and I got some black spray on my white outtie. With the Meguiar''s NXT I have on it the stuff came right off with just a wet sponge. Very impressed with the protection the Meguiar''s gives.
