bringing my cl back from shit

alrighty guys, heres the deal. I have a 97 3.0. I fell in love with the car again after ignoring it for the last eight months. Unfortunately I have to park outside and the sun has dystroyed my steering wheel, and it gets water spots every morning from the sprinkler system at my apartment complex. I wax it and have clayed it and cleaned it up but due to the abuse my car has to suffer, what products and steps do you all recommend to keep the paint it top shape? I also have a wear mark on the drivers side bolster. How do i put color and smooth the leather back where this has occured? Another question I have is underhood cleaning. It seems every time I have attempted to spray the plastic and what not under the hood to make it shiny and clean it turns into a magnet for dirt and dust and crap. Anyone have ideas? Another issue with me is keeping the whole fenderwell and suspension. I usually use wd-40 to keep it all clean and get rid of tar etc and then spray it all down with armor all. This of course attracts a shitload of dirt so what do you guys use on your suspension and what not to keep it clean? Thanks a bunch.

Response to the first question; check Autopia's "How To" library, OCD or Proper Auto Care.
