I've come across many good product suggestions throughout these forums for keeping my car well maintained, but I think that a "product recommendation" post that's a compilation of all recommended products would be a great help.

Basically, we'd need recommended products for:

Interior cleaning (vinyl and instruments and the like)
Interior UV protection
Leather Treatment
Car Wash
Sealant / Wax
Detailing Spray
Clay Bar
Paint Polish
Carpet Shampoo
Tire Protector / Cleaner
wheel cleaner / protector
glass cleaner
and any other good recommended products.

I've listed what I've found on these forums below:

Interior Cleaning
???
I'm currently using Armorall wipes, but I have no idea if these are adequate or what these forums feels about them.

Interior UV Protection
303 Aerospace

Leather Treatment
Again, couldn't find any recommended in this forum
I'm looking at Ultimate Leather Cleaning and Conditioning Kit

Car Wash
Dawn (for Zaino process)
unsure what else is recommended here

Sealant / Wax

more have been recommended, but I can't find the thread at the moment

Please feel free to post your suggestions, or if you're an admin, take this thread over. If no admin takes it over, I'll edit this thread as best I can to include recommended products.

well.. based on administrative restrictions on these forums, maybe I won't be modifying this post...

maybe a more informed member could make a more comprehensive post on this subject?

To remove stains the surface tension that bonds them must be released, then the stain encapsulated and held in suspension to be removed. I’m repeatedly asked which product is the best interior cleaner. There is no one-product answer; as the so-called all purpose cleaners (APC) do not remove every stain, different stains require different solvents to remove them.

When cleaning a stain, try detergent and water first. If this does not remove the stain, then try a stronger type cleaner) once fabric is clean apply a fabric protection (303TM High Tech Fabric Guard)

Between these cleaners you should be able to remove 99% of stains occurring in a vehicle and around the home; Start with a 10:1 solution and decrease dilution as necessary;

Carpets- 303™ Rug / Upholstery Cleaner & Spot Remover
P21S Total Auto Wash (its active ingredient is d-limonene (citrus) a safe all purpose cleaner (APC)
Woolite® Heavy Traffic Carpet Foam or Hoover Deep Cleansing Carpet/Upholstery Detergent
Folex Instant Carpet Spot Remover
PVC – a solution of Woolite and distilled water or a citrus-based cleaner and water to remove stains use 1Z Cockpit Premium as a matte finish dressing.
Plastic - Plexus, BTI™ Chemicals Plastic Polish & Cleaner
Leather – a solution of Woolite and distilled water and Zaino Z-10 as a conditioner
Washable surfaces - Distilled water / Woolite 10:1 or 303 Cleaner & Spot Remover ™
Glass surfaces - Stoner's Invisible Glass and a (Norwex) glass cleaning cloth with a super tight knit.
Wood surfaces – Klasse or Zaino All-In-One (AIO)
Ultra violet (UV) protection - for all interior surfaces- 303™ Aerospace Protectant
