Armor all is not bad, that is an urban legend.

Re: Armor All alternatives????? (jimmyd)
I doubt it was Armor all that caused it :rolleyes:! I used Armor All on my 1989 RX-7 for over 8 years and the dash looks as good as new. And that is with a car living on the beach a 100 yards from the ocean. My only complaint with Armor All is that it is too shiny.

I need to find someone that sells the 303 stuff, I'd like to try it
I used Mothers Back to Black on the plastic pieces in the car. THe dashpad looks like new. I did it at the end of July and just had to dust it this week (dry rag only worked great) and it still looks like new.
I've been using the back to black on my side moldings and have been very happy with it.

I respectfully disagree...bought a low mileage Caddy from my best friend..he never used Armorall on it...I did and within two years the dash was totally shot..cracked, stained, etc....death in a bottle... :yesnod:..yeah Mark, where do we get it ?

The only thing I don't really like about Armor All is its tendancy to remove the white lettering off your interior switches. Something about the combination of skin oils and chemicals in that stuff's just not right, IMO. :nonod:

On vinyl and tires I use Black Magic, from Walmart. Does a nice job of clean up, doesn't look shiny and doesn't attract dust.
On leather, Lexol. A saddlemaker recommended it to me.
