Recommended Interior Cleaning Products ?
What interior cleaning & detailing products have you guys found to work best on your C6 vinyl dash cover, door panels and other misc vinyl interior parts? In the past I have used Armor All, but I suspect that there are some better products out there. What works best for you ?

Armor All will crack/fade your dash. Father used it for years, swore by it. Always used a Window Visor/Parked in the shade, and it cracked/faded his dash.
McGuire's products are the best on the market in my opinion, shampoo/conditioner and leather/vinyl cleaner Gold Class products. And if you get some Aircraft Vinyl/Leather UV Protector called 303 Aerospace protectant, this stuff goes on plastic's also - It is a Conditioner/UV Protector from sun light fading.

Check out the Adam's family of car care products. I've used them for years and I am very happy with their performance, and not just on the Corvette.
Meguiras remains a favorite for some.

My owners manual says:
Instrument Panel, Leather,
Vinyl, & Other Plastic Surfaces
Use a soft microfiber cloth dampened with water to remove
dust and loose dirt. For a more thorough cleaning, use a soft
microfiber cloth dampened with a mild soap solution.
Notice: Soaking or saturating leather, especially perforated
leather, as well as other interior surfaces, may cause permanent
damage. Wipe excess moisture from these surfaces after
cleaning and allow them to dry naturally. Never use heat, steam,
spot lifters or spot removers. Do not use cleaners that contain
silicone or wax-based products. Cleaners containing these
solvents can permanently change the appearance and feel
of leather or soft trim and are not recommended.
Do not use cleaners that increase gloss, especially on the instrument
panel. Reflected glare can decrease visibility through the windshield
under certain conditions.
I still occasionally use 303 during the warmer months for sun protection, but mostly a damp microfiber cloth as instructed. Keeps that factory look.

Thanks guys for all the great recommendations, as usual.
I purchased McGuire's Gold Vinyl Cleaner and the 303 Aerospace Protectant to go over the clean vinyl surfaces.
I should be able to get it all cleaned up and the 303 Aero on this weekend. Thanks again for your valuable feedback.

Where do you guys buy 303 Aerospace Protectant. Is that available in places like Walmart, or specialty stores.
