The last car i did which was my daihatsu winter car i simply cleaned it with a VAX type hover product, probably not the proper way to do it but it worked on the cloth seats.

I then used leather cleaner and feed on the leather steering wheel.

Plastic and vynal door panels got done with soap and water then a house table polish product.

Im sure some of the detailing expert in the detailing section will know what to really use but they worked for me and no mold or smell bak in the past 2 years ive owned it.
