What is a good recommendtaion for a decent, low cost interior detailer for low cost details and daily drivers?

I currently have the following products:

Megs WBD
Megs Vinyl 40
Mothers VLR
Megs QID
DG 531

I use Megs QID for all customers that don't want a gloss or sheen and am very happy with it. Megs WBD is ok and it doesn't last that long. I am currently leaning towards Megs Vinyl 40. Wanted to see what others are using. Thanx

I love the Meg Ultimate Interior

I know there are a lot of Ultima and Aero 303 fans here.

PERL is cost effective when diluted. I haven't used it on anything except my Jeep though, so I don't have much feedback on it yet.

How long does it last?

I use Poorboy's Natural Look and finishing to a flat sheen and is very cost effective.

DP's interior protectant has decent cleaning ability along with a matte finish protectant. I have touched up interiors and plastics with ONR and found that it brings back some shine from the previous protectant. OPT's Opti Clean is a great int/ext cleaner as well and actually has a protectant based on what is used in ONR. I am not sure the exact difference with ONR OOC, but I think that maybe OOC has more of a shine enhancer, and not meant for as dirty of surfaces as ONR is. The thing that is great about using a product like ONR for int is that you don't have to worry about the glass getting a film from the cleaning agents.
303 AP and Speed Detailer are also on my list for usual int work and quick ext touch up and protect.

I can't attest to it, honestly.

I'm going to use an APC followed by water this next time- previously I just threw some on there after wiping the dust off before. It's has light tan plastics/vinyl with no window tint, so it's really hard to tell either way.

Just FYI Aerospace 303 Protectant looked pretty awful on my Mustang interior. I'm not sure what the deal was. It looked about the same on the exterior trim. My favorite now is Optimum Opti-Bond Tire Gel. It's a great value too, especially diluted down. It has held up on the interior incredibly well. On the exterior it was so-so.

OPT Protectant Plus is a fovorite of mine that has some light cleaning ability also.
Optimum Protectant Plus, 128 oz. Refill (http://www.autogeek.net/opprpl1ga.html)

UIGP may seem expensive initally but a little goes a long way.

I plan on using Ultima on my personal vehicles. I have some 303 on the way. Poorboys or OPT Protectant Plus look promising.

If you are going to get 303 I highly suggest you look into getting Mothers Protectant instead. The look is about the same but Mothers is actually durable, cheapers, and smells a whole lot better. 303 makes the car smell rancid in the summer time or when its hot.

I use the following depending upon what the customer whats

Ultima IGP
Mothers Protectant
Megs QID

The 303 is part of a pkge I bought, might not even use it. How does the Mothers Protectant compare to OPT Protectant Plus and Megs Vinyl 40? I have been using Vinyl 40 and am happy with, just curious if there is something better in the same price range for a gallon.
