Eek that looks rough. I'd use a fine cloth and this stuffuse it sparingly and be gentle when cleaning the suit.
If you live in a place where road salt is used, take the car through a wash when it's above freezing and not showing during the winter. Make sure you choose the option that will spray off your underbody.
And NEVER take the thing through a regular car wash (a quick-service one that has machines or people touching it). This will damage your paint/glass as the dirt from every car before you gets smeared into your own. Touchless car washes are a much better choice and are pretty easy to find. They are not any more expensive.
I also recommend getting a bottle of Aerospace 303 and applying it to rubber/plastic surfaces that sit in direct sunlight. It helps preserve the materials from fading/cracking and adds a nice subtle sheen.
If you really want to go crazy, jump down the r/autodetailing rabbithole.
Modern auto leather manufacturing has progressed to the point where applying creams and oils is not necessary, and in fact inadvisable.
The leather is treated from the factory for durability and protection with something that will prevent it from absorbing the treatment. At best, you'll be conditioning your hands with anything you apply. At worst, your product will interact with the treatment on the leather and look or feel like crap.
If you use too much leather conditioner, over time, it could get into the seam, dissolve the adhesive holding the leather on the wheel, and leak a disgusting sticky mess all over the only thing you touch every time, all the time you're in the car.
If you have to put something on it, I'd say to just use a good water-based interior protectant like this. Always avoid alcohol-based treatments (armor-all) on your interior because they leach oils and moisture out of the surface, causing wrinkles/cracking and discoloration.
Cockpit premium is a great product. I use it every week or so on my dash and the rest of my interior as a quick wipedown product.
Also, 303 is only $12. What do you mean the price doubled? It's always been about $10 or so.
I have seen someone on YouTube recommend 303 Protectant Spray to repair scuffed dash on the Model 3.
Not sure if it would help and it's not cheap but might be worth looking into.
I'm planning to write a post in the interior soon but for now...
The first step is to give everything a really good going over with a vacuum. This is where you need to spend most of your time. Almost everything that's not leather can be cleaned with an All Purpose Cleaner (UK link and US link):
Spray it on, agitate with a brush (ordinary paint brush will do). Then...
If it's fabric - vacuum with a wet-dry vac (use a cloth if you don't have one)
If it's trim - wipe dry with a microfibre (UK link and US link)
To protect things I really like 303 Aerospace Protectant... it protects against fading caused by UV radiation (UK link and US link)
Leather is a different kettle of fish and you need to use a cleaner then a conditioner (UK link and US link)
I've not heard of that - but would this be it: https://www.amazon.co.uk/303-Protectant-Plastic-Fiberglass-Leather/dp/B0004ELKC4
I'm in England so maybe it's a name we're not used to here?
