Interiors are where I use them a lot in plastic panel seams, instrument panel seams, cooling/heating vents and louvers (a lot used there), rubber seals folds and troughs/channels, and door hinges and behind door handles and in key locks, or my biggest pet-peave, around switches and dash buttons or knobs, and the shift PRNDL cover in the center console and seat-belt female latches and release button, especially the "PUSH TO UNLOCK" embossed signage. I still think that the time getting into these areas and cleaning them is what separated the so-so detailers from the good detailers. Yes, it is time-consuming and there are the usual comments that nobody sees those areas or even pays attention to them, but I do and when someone tells you their interior looks brand-new, there`s a reason it does: I took the time-&-effort to make it look so.
