Perma Plate....
They are only as good as the surface they go on and adding such stuff over your paint is usually a bad idea as it traps contaminants between the paint and the sealant.
As far as the interior treatment is concerned ask yourself this question:
Since leather is a "once living" product, we all know that it requires different care from vinyl - how can this "perma plate" properly protect both products equally? It can't....

I don't care for Perma Plate products, they are sold exclusively (and obscenely marked up) at most dealerships as a dealer service or option.
I got it applied for free with a free kit for home use when I bought my Passat. Perma Plate is mediocre at best. It's definitely a rip off.
MB-Tex is an extremely durable and low maintanence material. I wipe my interior down once in a while with warm water mixed with a little Murphy's Oil Soap.
For stubborn stains I use rubbing alcohol or use Einszett Deep Plastic Cleaner.
With Einszett a little goes a long way (you may need to dilute it with water) and you could use it on all interior plastic and vinyl surfaces. There is no shine and it smells awesome.

Plus, I'll admit to being a little obsessive-compulsive about cleaning my cars. With leather, I was always worried about keeping it conditioned in our dry, desert climate. With the MB-Tex, it so nice to never have to worry about it.
