Tan Interior, Cleaning....UGH

My car, not my Z, has a tan interior. I want to clean it up cuz it's about 5 years old and has been maintained but is just a little....dull. Whats the best product to use to clean tan?

hell rent a steam cleaner....worked great on my friends car....for the seats i used some mothers leather conditioner and i mean these things shine like a mirror and are nice and slick feeling...at first they were way slippery but it went back to more of just a nice leather feel.

Pull the seat covers off and tosee them in your washing machine. Use a stain remover on any spots or stains. The front seat covers are just held onto the seat frame by plastic J-channels. The back seat cusions are held in place with hog rings. You'll have to buy a hog ring kit to put those back on, but you can probably pick one up for cheap. The back seat backrest clips to itself with plastic channels. With the seats out, you should be able to remove the carpet rather easily and clean it up with a steam cleaner as mentioned above. Do this and your car's interior should be nice and clean.

will the steam clean work on the headliner too? It's a 03 CTS and the headliner looks nothing like the one in my Z

I would be sort of worried about the steam cleaner messing up the glue that holds the headliner fabric to the backing board and/or the board itself.

those Mr. clean magic erasers work real good on my car. get a few boxes cause they tear up pretty quick.
EDIT: this was on leather seats, I dont know what you have but they work great on the plastics too.
