For interior I've been using AutoGlym products. Interior Shampoo and Vinyl and Rubber Care.
Actually I haven't considered ONR. It's maybe because I don't trust it enough. I'm very lucky I can use a warm washing hall so the washing at winter time is not a problem for me.

you should really try a small bottle of onr some time. i was skeptical too... but now i'm a believer. not for use all the time mind you, but most of the time onr kicks butt, does an incredible job without marring, and conserves water.
good luck!

Check this out guys, for the people who live in an area where the car dries out quick, I recommend (although it takes more time to do) washing your cars with a presurized hand pump decking sprayer with a fan nozzle... You can pick up a decent one for around $40... What I do to ensure I do a good job and minimize water spots (besides using deionized water), is to wash the car in sections, starting with the roof, then the whole rear including the bumper, then the hood and bumper, then the sides. Another advantage that a sprayer has that a pressure washer doesnt is the control of the pressure coming out so you dont spray into sections you already did, its more gentle on the paint and you can do wheels last without worrying about wetting the panels and such. I can typically do a car with a double bucket method with under 6 gallons, thats enough to wash off excess dirt, use a bucket of soap water, a bucket of clean water and enough to rinse off the soap and clean the rims. I dont ever use the pressure washer no more (it started to pull up my weather stripping on the front window of the mini cause of it)...

My Ride: 530I Silver gray with gray leather with Premium Package, Logic 7 Premium sound system with Ipod interface, xenon adaptive headlights, Active steering, Power retractable rear sunshade, Comfort seats, Cold weather package and M5 OEM 166 wheels, Sprintbooster. Ceramic Tint all around, Bilstein Sports shocks with Eibach springs, Brake performance Rotors and Axxis ceramic pads.
Some of the swirl marks are actually made when drying the car so , to minimize this I use a leaf blower to dry my car, it works great and it completely takes out all the water residue from the crevices. After I dry it out with a leaf blower, I spray my car with final detail and dry it with a clean microfiber.

I posted using a leaf blower on this forum in 2006. Glad to see others are doing it. The ideal is an air compressor. That's on my list.
