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?
i like the meguirs NXT tech protectant spray ... cleans and shines like armor all but is not sticky like armor all and smells good too... oh and it works good on tires too

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 >rolleyes.gif>
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.
yea can use almost any car cleaner ..most do, do a great job.. i use the stuff i use on my leather seats... which i made to clean an condition leather.... works great on vinly also and plastic... just take a little longer to work in.. but keeps the shine for weeks and really repleas dust...

409 ... the glass one thats purple . spray a few times on a damp paper towel (damp with water) wipe down the whole dash then go over it again with a damp cloth. this works so dam good. u get a nice shine for a long time
I used to use Pledge >biggrin.gif> works pretty good too. Now I just use Son-of-a-gun or armor all, whatever is on sale
