    ArmorAll makes a Great Leather Cleaner.
    (its a light brown bottle in Gel Form.)

    For Interior Plastic cleaning(dashboard,console,etc….)
    Turtle Wax F21 is the BEST ive ever used period…..its in a thin Green Bottle. It leaves a shine unlike any other ive seen at most stores.

    For glass DEFINATELY buy Commercial Grade, always in a giant Aresol Can……..NEVER use windex, it spreads papertowel lint and dust and really doesn’t work if you want show quality.
    It can also fog up severely if you use too much and if it rains outside, the moisture and temperature change will go crazy on your windows.

    For Carpet, i believe we used Resolve in a squirt bottle.
    This stuff worked MIRACLES…..
    I remember one time it INSTANTLY disolved wine stains on carpet that came off one of our private jets…..i couldnt believe it, cause the stain was on there for over 2 hours, and it just Dissapeared.

    For car wax….most waxes do a good job.
    It’s kind of like choosing which bottled water is better….alot of them are the same.

    We used to use airplane wax, and i cannot recall the brand name….
    It was EXTREMELY toxic though, you were supposed to goto the hospital if you even got it on your face or mouth……but im still here standing,lol.

    Turtle wax is a good basic wax, Eagle One too.

    Try a german or european wax, they are far better than most american products….although they can get very expensive.
