Indigo: Rain X is a MUST. Go buy it now and put it on a clean windshield. You wont believe how well it works!! Fog X is made by the same people as Rain X. It goes on the inside to keep the glass from fogging up. Works great but is a pain to apply. Can also be used in the bathroom to keep mirrors from fogging 
Yes, my truck interior was scotchgarded when I bought it. I was given an option of vehicle protection package for $399 that included Ziebart rustproofing, Ziebart underbody sound deadener, interior fabric protection and door edge guards. With 2 kids, a sloppy husband, a dog and me (neat freak) I thought that package was well worth it.

Indigo,
I agree with much of what Hogluvr says about using power tools. I started with an Sears orbital machine,and quickly found that it is useful only for applying and removing wax or polish. I bought a Porter Cable variable speed rotary polisher, the model that is more like a impact wrench than a disk sander. I use ONLY foam pads. Previous attempts with wool were less than satisfying. Swirl marks, burned edges, and burn throughs. When I use the foam, no problems. However, I find that when I use just a little product, I get the best results. Tecnique? In any event, make sure everything is clean and change the pads once or twice during the process. They clean well after use in the laundry.

Thanks Tina, whitelightning and hogluvr for your help! Unfortunately, I was buried in books this weekend (a by-product of returning to college) and didn't have much time to do anything. Saturday will see me get the Rain-X and orbital buffer and then maybe I can have some fun!
