LOL!!!
Great Penn and Teller BS show - getting people to sign up to ban Dihydrogen Monoxide!!! (water). It's hilarious.

I use Meguiar's but I've heard nothing but good things about the 303 protectant so I'll be picking that up soon.

http://www.dhmo.org/ One town council in California almost banned it in 2004 - they had a vote scheduled before they wised up.

303 is a good choice; I use Armor All as I have a bunch left over. I put it on a rag and apply it that way.

I use Chemical guys matte finish dressing, leaves a natural new look to it, not shiny and crap like armol-all and certain meguiars. Poorboy's natural trim dressing is also very good from what I hear to leave a matte finish on the interior.

california mini duster and the zaino leather cleaner and conditioner works great. I'm thinking of getting the lexol next.

I've had great luck with the 303 Cleaner followed by 303 Aerospace Protectant as your UV dressing with a matte finish. The cleaner works great on carpet, upholstery, vinyl, rubber, plastic and leather, and the protectant works on top of the vinyl, rubber, plastic and leather. For protecting carpets and fabric, look into 303 High Tech Fabric Guard.

A great 1 step product is Poorboy's Natural Look which has cleaning characteristics as well as offers UV protection.

Depending on interior state i use damp microfiber cloth in between major cleanups to remove dust,meguiars interior detail to clean with a matte finish or lexol (lexol rubber/vinyl for dash,kick panels etc and leather conditioner for seats ,steering wheel etc.)to clean and add a little luster.
