Whooo hoo... spending all that money to pay for toxic chemicals that can kill you sounds like a great idea, much better than stains on your seats. There's already enough VOCs that are known or suspected carcinogens in a new car without adding more. In the range of 30 to 40 separately identifiable VOCs can be found in new cars, the most prevalent being toluene, acetone, xylenes, styrene, 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene, various C5 to C12 alkanes, ethylbenzene, and ethylene glycol butyl ether.
Facts You Should Know about Cancer According to American Cancer Society:
1 out of 3 Americans will have cancer.
1 out of 2 men will have cancer.
1 out of 3 women will have cancer.
3 out of 4 families will be struck with cancer.
Cancer causes 1 of every 4 deaths in the U.S.
Yeah, the EPA does a knock-out job protecting us.

No need to ridicule. Actualy most of the chemicas are non-toxic. I don't take much stock in a lot of the reports on carcinogens as most of the time they are tested by putting more of a chemical in a test environment than will ever actualy be encountered in real life. Remember in the 80's when Baloney "caused cancer" humm. Haven't heard much about it in the last 15 years and I still see it on the shelves.
50% of men will have cancer. I must be living on the right side of the coast because where I am I'm not seeing that. Humm. Why would the american cancer society say that? Maybe to scare people into donating money to "find a cure". Sorry not buying that.
3 out of 4 families will be struck with cancer... How could that be if the numbers are as they say EVERY family will be struck wil cancer unless very very luckly.
Excessive use of chemicals may indeed cause problems. But I don't see anyone scotchgaurding their tounge or daily spraying the inside of their car.

Re: Paint & Fabric Protection
this may not apply, and is probably common sense, but the previous owner of my old car used to do her hair in the car, hair spray all over the drivers seat, baked on and crunchy, ew. so no hair spray.

I could go into nitrites and nitrates in bologna, but that would be taking the thread further off topic. Instead, interested people could themselves research 1) the content of nitrites and nitrates in food and 2) the effect of nitrites nitrates on the human body. Or not.
As for scotchguard, here's some suggested reading. This was put out by the Environmental Working Group. You can call them biased if you'd like, but you could also weigh their evidence for yourself. And yes, this talks about 3M phasing out the use of PFOs but they're now using PFOAs or C8 or something like that:

Thanks for all the great info! I think I'll just scotchguard the fabric and wax on a regular basis. The Zaino process looks interesting, I may try that too.
