I use 303 Protectant every so often and touch up in between with Mequiars or Armor All, but only the natural finish products so that the interior doesn't get shiny and slimy and attract dust.

formula 409 on a microfiber towel to wipe down the dash, door panels, etc.

they test the crap out of interiors... keep it clean and it should stay nice. all your windows are UV filtered... that's why transition glasses don't work when you're driving. I'd probably be a little more concerned if my car sat outside, but it's garaged.

I use 409 to clean up the engine compartment (engine cold)... spray it everywhere... let it sit 5-10 minutes, spray off with hose, spray with compressed air, wipe it down. it's not so overpowering that it damages stuff but still gets rid of all the road grime.

Don't have my Camaro yet but on my truck, I use Meguiar's Natural Shine Protectant for the interior plastic. It protects without leaving it greasy or too shiny. On my gf's TSX, I use spray on saddle soap for the leather if it's really dirty, otherwise the Meguiar's leather wipes are fine for light cleaning.

I use a wet (clean) rag with just a tiny bit of pH-neutral cleaner and go over the surfaces when they are dusty or have fingerprints.

I use a little bit more when I do the steering wheel (for leather-wrapped, the one in my LS is not) and shift knob and high-touch surfaces that collect body oil and dirt.

The end result is no shine, the plastics and surfaces are uniformly clean and look like it just left the factory.

I simply wipe everything down with my "clean" Absorber after a wash. It doesn't scratch the plastic bits, and leaves the finishes in original condition. I don't use "protectants", but I do use Meguiar's Leather conditioner on the seats. My interior looks as it did when showroom new.

Keep the inside clean, because my girlfriend gets ticked anytime she comes by and the inside is dirty. My car, but hey.

Wipe off the inside, vacuum, and use conditioner for the seats.

Nothing beats a clean car, inside or out.

California Dash Duster for the dash and plastics has worked great for me.

I use the Meguairs natural shine on the plastics as it leaves a nice finish that's not too shiney and Zaino leather treatment on the seats.

303 Aerospace Protectant fan here, using a foam wax applicator pad to apply.
Between treatments I wipe down with a ONR saturated MF Towel that has been well wrung out - it's the same solution I use for Rinseless Wash (1.5oz/Gal distilled water)

Zaino all the way on the interior. Gives it a nice clean look with no grease or gloss and the smell is amazing. Two year old Camaro and people think it was just off the showroom floor.
