I'm looking for a new interior cleaner+protectant. Trying to avoid cleaning then protecting on most interiors that get a lower end package. I realize that I still need to break out the APC and steam in some places, but if I can do the majority of work in a single step, that would save me some time and effort.

General Criteria (in no particular order):

Reasonably priced - $100 per gallon RTU woulld be way too much for this package.
Works with Tornador (spray on, wipe off)
Pleasant fragrance or no fragrance
Very lightly dressed look (the matte finish often looks like nothing was done, I need something half a notch up from matte)
Suitable for use on all interior surfaces except carpet (safe for overspray on fabric, glass and nav screen would be a plus)
Good cleaning ability for grime and soiling (better than a QD, but does not need to match an APC)
Only needs minimal UV protection (I have separate packages that incorporate 303AP and UIGP)
I am not opposed to mixing soemthing up (i.e. megs APC+hyper dressing or OPP+OPC). I'm struggling to find something off the shelf that hits all the marks. I can find good cleaners with minimal dressing and good dressing with minimal cleaners. Anyone have the magic bullet?

It is one I'm looking at. I've seen a couple reviews recently, but it seems like it is for only light cleaning and leaves a matte shine. Would someone (cleanmycorolla) disagree? Also the smell seems hit or miss based on comments.

Definitely hits the mark on the other criteria.

There's my review. As for your question of cleaning. I have taken shoe scuffs off, dog paw prints, wife's makeup, so it can clean. But these weren't heavy soil situations just light things. It can clean 75% of situations. Hope it helps.

I read that when you posted it, very good review (hence being called out in my previous post).

75% effective is all I need for this type of work. You mentioned it will streak if over applied. I'm a little worried the tornador will over apply; I ordered a 16oz to try, so I'll find out in a couple days.

Other things on my list now are:

Meg's d149
Opti-clean
Meg's m40
The 2 combos from the first post
UWW+

Any other suggestions from the crowd?
