Some of this depends on how funky your interior is. I use APC for tougher stains (diluted). I use InnerClean by CG for removing dust and light stains, and it does smell like Pineapple, but the smell goes away very quickly.

I would try a car scent if you want to get away from fruity smells, something like New Car Smell by CG.

Cloth Seats - Give them a good vacuum and go over any spots with a cloth and cleaner.

APC has the ability to be diluted for all types of tasks, and sometimes the manufacturers are helpful and put them on the side of the bottle. It can be dialed down for interior use and use full strength for the nasties you find in your engine/wheels.

Scratches showing through the clearcoat and the paint will require touch up paint. That white color is most likely your primer. Compounding will not remove this.

EDIT: Saw the seats are cloth.

Chemical guys interior cleaner. It’s yellow and smells like bananas/ pina colada and it gets all the dust and grime right off, doesn’t leave a slick film like armorall does

Their stain remover is also amazing too. Really anything they make is super high quality

Hey!

I also have a GTI as well and I use the Chemical Guys InnerClean and I really like it. It smells really good, it cleans and protects your interior(Dashboard, center council, doors etc). It also have a matte finish(OEM look) when you wipe it off, I think it's really ugly when the dashboard is all shiny like it does with armorall products.

For your plaid seats, it doesn't really matter if your seats are heated or not. My first suggestion would be to do steam cleaning if possible and if it's really dirty. If not, you can buy AMMONYC Shag Fabric cleaner. In this video, Larry(AMMONYC owner) shows multiple methods on how to clean cloth seats.

For your salt stains the solution is very cheap, again follow our leader Larry's video. After using the vinegar solution, I would let it dry for few days and then I would clean the seats after that with the product I mentioned above for your seats.

I like the AMMO Plum wheel cleaner. Also a set of wheel woolies.

I really like this stuff in the interior. And a set of these brushes for detailing in and out. Stock up on microfiber.

Also, AMMO makes a spray called hydrate that is used when drying the car. I like the stuff.

InnerClean is great, it leaves a Matte shine and a little goes a long way.

Griot's Garage would be my go to general interior cleaner. Virtually no odor, no residue and cleans phenomenally.

Chemical Guys make a decent product as well. I wouldn't say it's an as effective cleaner as Griot's but does offer UV protection. CG's cleaner does have a fruity smell (fades after a few hours) and is colored as well.

Haven't had to use it in the BRZ (thankfully) but in past cars and friends, for the suuuuper filthy or large stains, Tuff Stuff's Foam Cleaner is a go to.

Other than that, compressed air for the nooks and crannies.

CG Inner Clean for that OEM look.

Not leather specific, but I use this on everything interior with great results and a wonderful smell!
