Front seat drawers...
In the drivers drawer I keep extra $30-40 just in case and passenger one I use for different receipts. I don't use car wash - I wash my baby myself so I'm not concerned about carwash people stealing something.

I really think the Griots Garage spray smells the best. I spray an old car wash sponge (2"x2"x1") once a month and it is intoxicating!

BTW, i've also tried Yankee Candle Company car gels... last a long time, but the leather smell isn't as good as Griots.

Below the bottom cushion of each front seat, in the front in the hard plastic area - go check them out!
In the "weird things I didn't realize my car had" category, also take a closer look at that little piece above your rear view mirror that swivels down to block the sun coming in above the mirror...

I stuff the service records on the right side
hmmm, that's a neat idea

Small bottle of Dawn dishwashing liquid ... you never know when you'll need to scrub a pot - but seriously we all know it's the best and cheapest car wash soap out there. Various cig lighter/electric gizmo cords and adapters; most related to multiple radar detectors. And then the usual suspects: snot rags, Lifesavers, plastic dental picks, spray and wipe cloth for glasses, etc., etc.

I carry exactly 4 cards and 1 paper business card with various acct numbers written on it from other cards. Paper receipts only go in the wallet temporarily and then out into my desk on a weekly basis.
In terms of cash I rarely have more than a 5-6 paper bills with me - usually $20-30 max. Years ago I used to carry at least $100, but nowadays with an ATM every 37 feet, I feel like I'm not far from cash in an emergency. Also been using one of the smaller model Coach wallets for 25 years. So the whole deal fits easy in the driver drawer with room for my cell phone. ...sound a little OCD?...guilty as charged.
To the original question the drawer is also where my standard everyday carry Syderco Delica goes in the rare cases when I take the car to the airport so it doesn't get seized by the TSA folks.....usually wifey drives me.

Thx to DDLexus, have ordered some of the Groits Leather Scent which seems to get the best reviews. As the site points out and DDLexus says, just spritz a small sponge w/ some of it and you're good for a coupla weeks. Here you can get it w/ free shipping (rare for small $ packages) :

Here's another link to the same site where you can get Lexus car wash soap (not a finish stripper like Dawn) in a 16oz size w/ free shipping too:

Yep I have spent the last 30 years slowly but surely figuring out exactly how few cards and other crap I can carry in a wallet and still function. I think it is because I sit on my butt for work so much that I developed pain from sitting on a wallet with too much stuff in it. BTW - I have specifically noticed the LS430 seat is way more comfortable when I not sitting on my wallet.
I carry exactly 4 cards and 1 paper business card with various acct numbers written on it from other cards. Paper receipts only go in the wallet temporarily and then out into my desk on a weekly basis.
In terms of cash I rarely have more than a 5-6 paper bills with me - usually $20-30 max.
