I don`t know too much about Griot`s or Eagle One products, though if properly done your exterior sounds good. I would skip Turtle Wax clay and grab a Mother`s or Meguiar`s clay kit.



I really don`t like Armorall products. That is not to say that you shouldn`t use them but I would strongly recommend a different product line of leather care products. Meg`s Gold Class or Zymol come to mind. Ozium and Meg`s Odor Eliminator seem to be the best for interior odors.
