QID is my main choice and it has almost no odor. It also has zero gloss which I find perfect for the dash, NAV and interior vinyl/plastic and leather.

Thanks for the information. It sounds like what I am looking for. I'm going to pick up a bottle and give it a try.

I would suggest the Ultima line of products for the interior.

I love 303. It protects really well. Just be careful when you are applying it. It leaves an oily residue on any glass or clear plastic

I use Chemical Guys Non Sense 1:20 ratio for diluting. It leaves a nice matte finish with no smell, so when I clean the seats the leather smell is fresh. I only use a "protector" every ~2months and when I do I use Meguairs natural shine leaves it pretty much a matte color.

To solve this issue, spray on the medium that you are using to wipe directly

Yet it the gloss that I mainly object to.
+1 on the level of gloss on the 303 is too much for the interior but it's good for the rubber trim on the outside. Going to try Einszett for the interior.

There were some weird spots that looked like chemical stains but as soon as I wiped those areas down, it looked brand new.

Meguiar's Quik Interior Detailer is best . I have used it and it works well.

Glare LVR treatment followed by Glare Blast for me. Nice Matte finish. The Blast doesn't smell the greatest though.
