All I use on my dash, door panels and seats is a moist cloth, with the occasional use of some mild dishwashing soap mixed in. When using the soap, I follow up with a wipe down with another moist cloth then a soft dry cloth.

Love Chadwick's, just ordered another gallon a couple hours ago. My CTSV was in dire need of detailing, since I've been too busy to mess with it. Had a bit of time today to get it done and I'm always impressed how nice it comes out, love the stuff!

I use Chadwick's and love the stuff but I know Evil Twin uses Zaino and his car looks great, so I guess it's personal preference.

I use Zaino as well. Definitely more work to apply Zaino than Chadwicks. There's not even a comparison. Why I would never use Chadwicks is because you don't "wash" your car anymore. I just can't fathom spraying something on my car and wiping it off. To me that would just induce a crap ton of swirl marks. It may not be an issue but if you have caked on bugs, mud, whatever it may be, I can't see how the product can safely remove it without damaging your paint.
