You might find a number of products better suited for interior care than AA. To steal a quote from elsewhere on the site "best place for AA is on the shelf".

I guess I am one of those wierdos that likes detailing my car and find it relaxing/enjoying

Armor All is a little too glossy for my liking. I use Meguiar's and I enjoy the time I spend detailing my car.

Nothing better than spending an afternoon detailing my car and then going for a drive to show it off.

Vinylex for me, it leaves a very subtle nice shine to it and its not as oily feeling as AA. Great stuff and I would never go back to AA after using this.

Depends on exactly what I need to get done , but lately I have been very happy with the leather products from Zaino. It seems to do a good job on the leather and I am VERY happy with the satin finish it leaves on the vinyl ( I can't stand a "shiny" look).

Most of the time I just use a damp MF towel after drying the car and do a full detail when needed.

I have cabinets full of products and some do a fine job, but ever since finding the Zaino products most of the other stuff hardly ever gets used.

FWIW I don't like the tire/vinyl treatment from them.

IMHO Armor All is about the worst thing you could put on your interior. You're better off wiping it down with a damp towel. I clean and condition the leather, but I don't coat the dash or anything else with any kind of junk.
