I'm going to completely clean out my car. I don't leave trash in it but theres old dust & misc. crap over my dash & other places. I know about steam cleaning my seat but what about my vinal/plastic pieces? Slightly damp cloth then Meguiars bling maker?

From what I've heard Armor All, when used to often, dries out your dash and causes it to crack over time. Cheap solution is a mix of baby oil and water in a spray bottle. You get the same look as armor all but not as greasy.

Armor all says it protects against dash cracking and drying

if u use armorall and u don't use it again after a year or so. it'll cause dash crack but as long as u use it atleast once every other month your dash will be shiney and protected.

okay so they are making you dependant on their product, simple solution, DONT USE ARMORALL! All I do is just wipe it down with a damp cloth and dry it off, sometimes if its bad I will use alcohol wipes or Windex and they work perfectly and my dash is just fine.
