303 Aerospace, dash, plastic bits, and tires. Not shiny and does a great job at keeping dust away.

I've found that AutoZone no longer carries anything I use in my detailing arsenal except for a few Meguiar's products (ScratchX 2.0) and throw away shop towels that would never touch my paint.

Although I will admit that it's not necessarily the product you use on your car, but more in how you touch your paint. Junkman has a ton of very informative videos about everything you could want to know about detailing your Z. Get to watching!

Yea, I haven't gone yet but i'll have to get what you stated for the dash and plastics. Its been raining all week so I haven't had a chance to clean my Z. Hopefully tomorrow or Sunday.

For cleaning, i just use griot's speedshine on a MF detailing towel and wipe off the interior.
no white residue or anything. very clean.
