One thing I use periodically is the Mother's clay bar. It's kinda expensive ($20) but it works great. You won't believe how smooth the paint looks and feels after using it. The only other downside is that it takes a few hours to do your whole car but if your car is your life like me it's definitley worth it. Just use it before you wax your car and it will help the wax to stick to the paint. As for interior stuff, I use Armor All. Some people say it sucks but it does a good job. The only downside with it is that it attracts dust. But you can get a California Duster and dust the dash when it's dusty. The dusters sound gimmicky but it's the best $12 I've spent on my car. You can make your car look freshly washed in 2 minutes if it's only a little dustly instead of washing it. Make sure you use leather conditioner very early in your car's life to delay cracking a little bit. For rims, exhaust tips, chrome get Eagle One Never Dull (In a silver can) because the can lasts quite long and it will remove any crap from polished surfaces. For tires, the best stuff I've found is Meguiar's Endurance Tire Gel. Lasts a couple weeks and looks good and no runs or drips on your tires. As for wax, Zymol is good (Pep Boys does carry it $12) and you shouldn't have to order it (You might be thinking of Zaino which does have to be ordered) if they don't have it, Mother's or Meguiar's is ok.
