Reply With Quotebefore, i used to use armor all, but now all i do is wet a cotton rag or towel, add a tiny drop of soap, and wipe down the dash, steering wheel, shifter, and door dashes. as long as the rag isnt soaked (ie just dampen it), you should be OK

This is a discussion on dash cleaner within the Interior Mods forums, part of the Tech & Modifying & General Repairs category; I am wondering if someone can recommend a cleaner for the dash and interior that is not Armorall. I would ...
I am wondering if someone can recommend a cleaner for the dash and interior that is not Armorall. I would like a protectant that is not shiney or slippery. Any thoughts?

Here are two good threads on the topic, my opinion is in both of them.
Interior protectant?
Armor All Substitute?

I talked with a body repair guy and he suggested just use plain old pledge and to not use armorall. He had some good reasons but I can't remember =p

Armor-all used to make a low-gloss version of their product that I liked a lot. I suspect they've stopped making it, because I can't seem to find it anywhere. So, I've switched to Black Magic Low-gloss protectant wipes, purchased at Pep Boys. I would have preferred the kind in the bottle rather than wipes, but this is all they had in low-gloss. It works well. I've got to try some of the items in the previously mentioned threads....
Seems like nobody likes the high gloss finishes. Wonder why they're still so common?

Do us all a favor: work on learning how to drive your car before adding more power. Pretty please.
Black Magic products are very bad for your car!!! If you want the gloss of BM use Lexol Vinylex, a couple of coats will get you a nice shine. Read the previously linked threads, I think I said why based products are bad.

EDIT: Always after cleaning with warm soapy rag to get the previous junk off.
the armor all CLEANER is excellent. no gloss, just a nice clean, residue free, dust repellent surface. if you want to protect it, check the links. the vinylx stuff is good. mothers also makes a leather cleaner that does a nice "one wipe" job on vinyl.

hmmm...Plexus...I use that for my paintball mask
MMMMmmm, Plexus. I love things from aerosol cans that smell so good! Works nice for protecting wheels, cleaning headlights, foglights, light covers...good product. Still love Aerospace 303 for interior stuff.Originally posted by tan
