Glass and wheels too! It really makes wheels sparkle. It is especially good at cleaning the barrels but of course that requires pulling the wheels off of the car.

Got to's in no specific order---------

Dura Gloss car wash
Poorboy's Spray & Wipe (couldn't be without it)
Wet Paint Glaze
Menzerna Intensive Care polish
Menzerna Final Polish
Duragloss Aquawax (actually a sealant)
Duragloss #105 sealant
Poorboy's Bold & Bright (tires, interior plastic)
Sprayway glass cleaner (cheap, tint safe)
Detailer's clay (whatever is on sale)
Stoner's More Shine (tires, engine, wheel wells)
Porter Cable random orbital buffer
Cyclo dual orbital buffer
Lake Country buffer pads
Optimum Spray Wax

Where can Poor Boys Products be purchased I've been looking for something new to try on the interior. Also, are there any interior cleaners that help to reduce the collection of dust?

Poor Boys depending on where you live can be found at random auto supply stores. In my area their products dont exactly pour off the shelves but I can sometimes find it. As for the interior dust I can recommend a specific product but I think you have to look for something that's static resistant which is what causes the dust build up.

The real reason I know about the static thing is because of my tv. Ash and I bought a 42" plasma about a month ago as well as a black glass tv stand for it, and surround sound. Well the plasma as well as all the other electronics create so much static electricity within one day of havin everything set up my glass shelves on the stand looked like they had been sitting there for a year without being dusted.

Have you found a product to use on your glass shelves I have the same dust issue around my components and I've never even thought of the static adding to the problem but, it makes sense!

I've never seen Poorboy's anywhere except on line.
http://www.poorboysworld.com/

I'm not aware of any interior products that are anti static. I use a small version of the California duster on the interior to keep dust down.

EDIT!!
I just discovered this about Aerospace 303, one of my favorite products for the dash and other areas:
Routine treatment with 303 can virtually eliminate UV induced fading and cracking. 303's premier product, 303 Aerospace Protectant, is the world's most powerful sunscreening treatment for vinyl. It is water-based, contains no petroleum solvents or silicone oils, restores lost color and leaves a surface that repels dust, dirt and oil-based stains.

 Finish Kare #425 can be used on the paint, glass, plastic, Plasma & LCD screens, etc. and is anti static. It REALLY adds bling to any finish. Not meant for dashboards or porous items.

I've heard not so good things about it, but have no experience using it.

I must admit to using one but, only on the windows. Works great when there is frost and it defrost so you don't get the damn water spots on the glass. I'm never been brave enough to use it on my paint. Although we've used it on the wifeys camry with no real ill effects.

Pinnacle Leather and Vinyl Cleaner - this stuff cleans amazingly well.  Better than the peoples and meguires stuff I tried first.
Pinnacle Leather Conditioner - works well and smells great too.
303 aerospace protectant

That's about it
