  • Armor all?

    So I need some opinions on what to use to clean and shine up my dash, steering wheel etc. I remember hearing some really bad things about armor all, but I can't remember if that might been about leather cleaners. How is it on the dash? Will it do any damage or do you guys think it just sucks? What should I use instead, and where do I get it?

    TIA
    When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.

    Aerospace 303 is the stuff to use if you want a nice even finish. Armour-all tends to dry things out.

      DO NOT USE ARMOR ALL!!!!!!! some dealerships are voiding interior warranty if armorall is used. that **** absorbs into the dash and dries it out from the inside. i use Maguires? tech

        I detail on the side and most of the stuff i use is meguires. For dash board and interior get some quick interior detailer. It sprays in a nice mist and makes the dash bord look clean and new, not greasy and blotchy. Just mist and wipe down with a micro fiber. Will work better if you dust the dash with a california duster first.

          Aerospace 303 hands down beats anything out there. You can get it at crappy tire. It leaves a nice dull finish and adds a UV protectant also.

            My Jetta is now 20 yrs. old, and in the beginning, I was an Armor All fan. I used it inside and out, under the hood, and even got a comment from Northland once, "Your brake pads are contaminated- and they seem to be contaminated with Armor All..."

            I am now a Mequire's fan (Tech products and spray detailer), but my dash still looks good, no cracks, and I used a LOT of Armor All on it... Not sure if the Armorall horror stories are accurate, but I have never had a problem with it, and I had used it for years... For some of my birthdays, I requested, and got a jug of Armor All, which I eventually would go through.

            Just my $.02..
