Default Armour All haters what do you use instead

I'm not for it or against it just wondering what you use in place of it to keep the dash from drying out and cracking ? I have never had a problem with it but don't rally like the super shiny look on the inside. I like the finish from the factory.

This is a question better suited for the Car Care Discussion forum. Lots of "experts" over there can give you direction.

I've been using Mother's Preserves. Seems to work pretty well. Good on the tires as well as it's not too shiney.

I am not usually an Amorall fan, but I did pick up a bottle of their low gloss gunk a month ago, and I do like the results so far....

Nothing but soap and water for cleanup. I've not used any protectors on my dash for years and haven't had any cracks. Today's polymers are much better than what was used back in the 70's, when cracking was really bad.

Zaino Leather conditioner on the dash. Actually use it on everything inside.

I use a product called Beats-um-all. I get it a the frog follies in evansville indiana every year. It doesn't sling off and it doesn't collect any dust. I don't have a internet address for them but I do have the dealers name and number if anyone needs it.
