Any recommondations before I speak to a sales type?
The veneer is walnut and the dash is not leather.
The leather seats I have nicely cleaned and treated.
As well, I would like to strip the console with the seat control switches. The controls stick together, probably a sweet coffee spill.

TIA
Yan

The dash can be cleaned with any 'soapy' cleaner. Simple Green diluted in water would be good. A protectant after cleaning is up to you. ArmorAll makes gloss and no gloss, but most protectants eventually evaporate and condense on the windshield. Non-glossy is safer due to less glare.

The seat switches can be cleaned with warm water, but be sure to blow out the water and let them dry, at least overnight, before plugging them in again.

As for the veneer, I have used Scotts Liquid Gold for a wet shiny look and a lemon oil for a less wet look. Both clean a little.
