Hey guys.

What do u recommend (or not recommend) for giving the interior a nice clean and a bit of shine. Eg: spray products or cloth etc. Dont want to use a bad product and result in cracking after drying etc.

Cheers.

Bought myself one of those hand glove that has a towel-like material on the outside - sucks alot of the dust up without any products.

303 is good. But use very very sparingly.
Otherwise it is a super dust magnet.
Polish off well.

Just use a slightly damp clean chamois [no chemicals] this does the job & keeps the dash etc clean, original, non-glare matt finish.....like it's meant to be. I do however, use Meguirs leather conditioner on the seats.

Same, how ever if someone has previously used armourall of something equivalent, then use soapy water to wash the slime off.

Since the interior is actually comprised of different materials then one product certainly does not do all. Even the "303" has a range of products. Your vacuum cleaner is a very useful appliance. If one reads a detailers guide items like cotton buds and a variety of brushes get a mention.
There are so many products available and it is unlikely that they are not going to be suitable. As Col highlighted simple solutions also work very well.
