I wash my wheels with the same shampoo i clean my car with, I find a wheel that has been sealed correctly and washed regularly doesn't need abrasive chemicals. Although I do not do a great deal of miles.
Interior I find Autoglym vinyl and rubber care great, I tend to buff it to a matt finish to avoid shine in the sun.

However, your general plan is sound. I'd suggest swapping your shampoo as NXT is quite strong, and prone to stripping budget waxes like Natty's. In it's place Meguiars Shampoo Plus would be a good choice, and this actually offers far better value for money. To clean your wheels safely, Gloss It's new Signature Wheel Gel is amazing (massive cleaning power but pH neutral), and again offers great value for money, as it can be diluted down to 4:1 with no major loss of performance. For the engine bay, a thorough clean with R222 Total Auto Wash, followed by an application of 303 Aerospace Protectant will leave everything looking spot on. Finally, for the interior of a Scoob, I'd go with Poorboy's Natural Look every time.

If choosing just one, I'd go with the Natty's Blue for a well rounded level of gloss and shine. Ideall though, you go with a base of EX-P to add durability and reflectivity, and then multiple layers of Natty's Blue to add extra gloss.

Cheers Rich - once I've had the bill for the A/C repairs and got over the shock to the Credit Card I'll be sending an order your way! But please don't let me buy one of the driers because no matter how cool they look I really don't need one...... or do I?
