Calling Jon/TOGWT, Moe, Philip, Nick and other pros - Product Recommendations

Thanks for reading this guys.
I've read a lot of your postings and appreciate that you guys take the time to share your knowledge and experience. There's just so much new stuff on the market it's tough to keep up. So if you're willing I'd like to know your product recommendations for the following:

Leather Cleaner
- 2009 Porsche, Cocoa, perforated 'soft finish' in great shape
- 2005 Audi, Cream, standard 'hard finish' no cracks but a bit dirty

Leather Maintenance regimen
- Porsche softer finish
- Audi harder finish

Exterior wash and finish regimen
- Porsche GT silver, no winter driving
- Audi Dark Blue, driven all year

Interior - dash, door and non-leather maintenance, low gloss

Tire & Black 'rubber seal' maintenance
- I've used 303 Aerospace with much success. Other suggestion?

Like a lot of others here, I'm willing to invest a moderate amount of time in maintaining the appearance of these cars. But I'm not so interested in a full SwissVax, big-dollar, all-weekend wax job, every month. I have a PC 7424 / have done 'real' polish jobs on both cars, etc.

You guys are pros. You know what works. What do you think?

Thanks in advance, TomE

Thanks Jon.
Your stuff is always remarkable. I'd read most of your articles but didn't know if you'd changed your views on the Leather Masters products.
I appreciate the response.
