Is there any actual "leather" on any of them? I thought I recall hearing that the seats/wheel are similar to the same material as scuba diving wet suits.
RE: Leather = My recollection is the only leather was on the steering wheel [if so equipped by trim level or option pkg] up to '23, but for the '24 model year Ford changed to a synthetic material on the steering wheel.

That stuff almost looks too good to be true. I just picked up my Maverick Lariat last week and could use something like this to clean up after my bloodhound. I think I'll give it a try.
If the turtle wax hybrid interior solution works as good as their ceramic wax then it will be impressive. I got the black ceramic wax and it makes my paint look like a mirror.

Any 'leather' on a car is coated, so it doesn't need any specialized leather products. Treat it like any other plastic surface in the car.

I find my dogs drool leaves a hard to remove residue that you can see when cleaning. I watched a video from YouTuber IMJOSHV about how to make your own “cheap” cleaners. Pol Star by Kochchemie with a pump foamer has worked really well and extra dirty parts/ longer standing dirt a really light stream cleaning. I did get green star but but don’t use it as much. I have two 100 lbs German shepherd mixes that ride with me at least once a week and found this combo works really well. I have yet to find a “long term” protection product. I use the same stuff on our Mustang Mach E (no dogs in the Mach E) and it works well both have activex

I just ordered. Like the reviews. I was getting tired of using 3-4 different products on the interior. Wondering...since it says it works on rubber, have you tried it on tires?
I have not used it on tires

OK. That makes sense as my 24 steering wheel (Lariat) is definitely not leather.

Please don't use Armor All. It is like crash for your dashboard. Use 303 Aerospace Protectant.

And be super careful not to get any overspray from any cleaners on the instrument cluster plastic screen. There was a post with pictures of how slight overspray of protectant/cleaner etched into the plastic. Seems that plastic is very soft.
