How to clean Cream colored interior vinyl

We ordered our Clubbie yesterday with the hot chocolate cloth/leather seats and the cream line bits.

Any best way to keep the cream creamy?

Use a leather cleaner like FourStar on a routine basis every other week or as needed.

Use a leather conditioner like Prima Nourish once a month.

You need to clean more then condition. Once a year I'll do a treatment with Leatherique which is a two-part system that really removes dirt in the pores of the leather then conditions. You'll want to do this when it is really hot and you will hate doing it so much that once a year will seem like too often.
Check out www.detailersparadise.com for these products and more.

I've had good results with Griot's interior cleaner.
