Here I thought I was being so thorough. I've been missing more than I'd care to admit. 
Great thread. | |

The moonroof glass goes farther back than you think when cleaning from the inside of the car. It'd be a good idea to use a window cleaning tool to get back there.
Basically, a moonroof is a glass sunroof with a retractable opaque covering. However, a sunroof is just an opaque one piece retractable covering. Personally, I prefer the moonroof. Sunroof - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I hate when tires are clearly not properly cleaned, with uneven looking, greasy dressing.
The area *around* the vanity mirrors, if in a woman's car or in a car where a woman rides in the passengers seat, makeup and lipstick stains can usually be found around this area.
In little crevices around the center console, grit and grime can be found here. Thank God for my steam cleaner. | |

Inside the glove box? The numbering/lettering on a gear shifter?

I just remembered another that I used to miss when I first started. The screws that hold the plastic on the the side of the seat, the screws that are down in the door handle, and the screws that hold on the kickpanels.

Seat tracks and the corners of the tracks where they are bolted to the floor
The area of the seats between the backrest and lower cushion. This area can be plainly seen on most two door coupes with the backrests fully tilted forward
Underneath the trunk mat where the spare tire usually resides
Around exterior badges, especially the ones that spell out an entire word such as "Suburban" or "Navigator" | |
