A few cleaners I have used:

It's nothing professinal, but here it goes. I'm sure most of you have used these products so give me some feedback on what yall thought of them, or others. Not really looking for anything professinal, just something you can pick up at a local parts store.

ArmorAll: 4/10
You've all tried it...you know what it looks like.
Could have a better spray.
Armor All® - Product Detail

Black Magic Pro Shine: 1/10
WAY too greasy.
Smells like gas...bad.
Dirt sticks to it.
Horrible spray nossle.
[ BLACK MAGIC - Car Care Products ]

Turtle Wax F21 Super Protectant: 7/10
Favorite as of right now.
Slippery, but not as bad as Black Magic.
Leaves the dash OVER shiny for a week or two.
If it gets little specs of dirt in it, then a quick run-by with a mirco fiber does the job. But then again it does attract the dust...
I like the smell.....some folks wouldn't. Kinda strong.
Sprays too hard.
Maybe alittle too greasy.EDIT: (More greasy than Armor All)
Turtle Wax - Super Protectant

Meguiar's Quik Interior Detailer: 6/10
Not much of a shine, but does a pretty good job.
Haven't used it awhile, but I would buy it again.
Quik Interior Detailerâ„¢ G13616 Product Information

Simple Green All-Purpose Cleaner: 9/10
Hands down, the best cleaner I've used.
Smell very good.
Works very well on old oil/gunk build up.
Simple Green All-Purpose Cleaner

Good Write Up

I use simple green APC a good bit, and the Megs Interior QD I also like. A proper detailed interior has a "semi-gloss/matte" finish. That is the natural look of vinal. Anything over shiney, looks to artificial for me.

I could write hundreds of pages of all the products I use and have used over the years. Im not much help with the stuff you can buy in the stores though, as I do not use to many of those products. Even the few that I do use, its hard to give high ratings, since I am use to professional line, all around better (but much more expensive) products
