what do you use for your vehicles?? Something natural, of course. TIA:)

as a protector or just to clean with?

I use whatever cleaner I use in my house, seems to work fine. I am just worried about getting the dust and/or sticky handprints off of stuff though.
Diluted dr.bronner's peppermint seems to clean car interiors pretty well.

I don't use a protectant. I just wipe the interior with a cloth dampened with water. If necessary I will use a bit of diluted vinegar or Vermont Organics Liquid Sunshine soap in some water, rinse and wring out a cloth in that, and wipe away a stubborn stain.

I don't use it either. For sticky nastiness in cup holders and such, I heat water and pour it into the holders. I let it sit for about 3-4 minutes, then I wipe it out with a rag. This works for plastic armrest cubbies too.

Ditto to Stacy and Lauren. I even do the water in the cup holders thing. And we have leather in some places too....

I use a microfiber cloth & just wipe down frequently. I keep one in the glove compartment so I can dust at least my half of the car when ever it's bugging me.

I also learned that the method all purpose spray from target is perfect for cleaning the upholstry. It removed old chocolate from under my DD's car seat even.

For the outside I was with hot water & dish soap. I've never done a protectant either.
